Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Deck restoration question
Bill & Judy Rouse <yahoogroups@...>
Dennis, Three choices depending on a lot of things: 1.) You would be surprised what you can do by simply repainting the fauk caulking between the faux teak boards.Do one of the forward hatch covers and see what it looks like....see attached 2.) If that does not look good to you, you, the faux teak boards are actually thick gelcoat. Try sanding off a little, then repaint the faux caulk. 3.) If that still does not achieve the appearance you want,

Deck restoration question
Dennis Campbell
Hello all, I'm a new Maramu owner (#178) looking to carry out a major refit in Malaysia later this year. I have numerous questions that I will post separately ... so please be patient if you see multiple posts from me. The faux timber deck on the '85 is badly weathered and I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a solution ... remove or repair? Many thanks Dennis

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Yamaha outboard in SM Stern locker
greatketch@...
Thanks Steve,
Just what I needed to know! Both the "Leisure" and the "Endro" are 2-stroke models. I worry bit about the fit of the Leisure model in the locker because the shifter is out in front of the engine. The 9.9 and the 15 Enduro are the same block and drive train, so if the 15 fits, the 9.9 will as well. I have been very happy with our old 8HP, and hardily ever run it wide open. I had been thinking that anything over 9.9 would be overkill. But with the 15 and 9.9 both weighing the same--and costing about the same--I might just go for the overkill.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Reefing procedure
Sv Garulfo
Based on our experience in the first months of sailing Garulfo with no real handover from the previous owner (language barrier) we would add the following points: 1. Make sure to know where the fuse boxes are for the furler motors and keep the accessible. Ours is in the sail locker and I remember having to move a few fenders away to reach it in the middle of a winter night, head down in large seas. 2. On that occasion we got caught by the "make sure the genaker halyard is well out of the way". That combined with an overluffing genoa in a downwind reach allowed the forestay to sway and catch the halyard and block the motor. So ease your sheets just enough to remove the pressure in the sail but not to send the whole thing shaking madly. The rig and sails will appreciate, anyway. 3. As mentioned before, be familiar with any manual override and possibly have tools to help you operate them, like a power drill with a winch bit adapter. I spent 20 minutes rolling the genoa manually on the aforementioned occasion. It kept me warm. 4. It is actually pretty easy to jam the in mast, we found, for us inexperienced people. Especially if you are over cautious and operate the mast unfurling quicker than the traveler, in an attempt to go easy on the latter. The sail roll then expands into the mast and quickly block out the slot. Careful watching (definitely 1st rule) will catch imrhat situation early and it's not too difficult to undo. We found that operating both motors together wroked just fine. The traveler might be a bit faster so worth pausing it very briefly when furling to get a tight roll. I like the idea of furling the main clockwise or anti-clockwise based in the tack. It would probably help a lot furling on a downwind course. Live and learn, Enjoy your Amel Thomas & Soraya Garulfo Amel 54 #122 Cap d'Agde, France

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Yamaha outboard in SM Stern locker

Hi Bill, Is the leisure model a 4 stroke? If so, I have a friend with the 9.9 Yamaha 4 stroke, and it fits in the aft locker with no problems. We have the 15 Yamaha 2 stroke, and it fits as well. We love our 15 Yamaha, and the extra hp comes in handy. We can easily plane with 3, and it can get my wife and I with our dive gear off to a remote site on a plane as well. My friend with the 9.9 four stroke has to work to get he and I up on the plane, but it eventually gets there. You can get the 15 Enduro at the Yamaha dealer in St Maarten for about $2500.

Yamaha outboard in SM Stern locker
greatketch@...
While we are in the Caribbean we will be looking at replacing/upgrading our venerable 8HP 2-stroke Yamaha dinghy engine. We love her to death, but she is getting a bit long in the tooth. There are two different lines of 2-stroke engines available from Yamaha, the "Leisure" model, and the "Enduro". The obvious external difference is that the "Leisure" model has the shift lever forward on the tiller arm. Does anybody know if either (or both!) of these engines in the 9.9HP size fit into the Super Maramu stern locker? Bill Kinney SM160 Harmonie Culebra, PR

Hello all We're currently shopping for a boat to take our young family safely through a whole chunk of the world over the next few years. Amel Maramu 45' are top of our shopping list but we're located in Quebec Canada where none are to be found. I'll be travelling for work to SanFrancisco next week (25 to 29 of April) and was wondering if there was any owner that would be willing to let me peek inside their Maramu so I can see it for myself. I would like to confirm my impressions / validate our choice before starting to shop more seriously for THE boat. More than willing to bring a few beers for the fellow captain who's willing to take on my offer! Thanks guys sam

Re: Reefing procedure
Ian Park
Daniel,
Just a comparative phrase. Many of the parts and systems on the Santorin are the same as the SM, which is bigger and heavier. In comparison to many production boats Amel made things to last, so they were well engineered. As an example the gearbox on the Genoa is furling a smaller headsail than the SM, so less generally less strain on the working parts. Similarly the C Drive being pushed by a 50 HP non turbo Perkins compared to a much more powerful turbo Volvo on the SM. So 'over engineered' was definitely not a criticism, more of a bonus for Santorin owners. Ian Ocean Hobo SN96
