Good afternoon Eamonn,
No worry about making a ladder in Greece!
Mine is only interesting for people that are in the Caribbean!
Definitely agree with you on the choice of aluminum!
I know about the 2 length available 2.9 or like mine 3.1 meter, but I did not know about the width!
Mine is 40 cm, I wonder if all 3.1 meter are 40 cm!
Also thanks for letting me know the price!

Enjoy your trip!!! Let me know if you come this side of the Atlantic, would love to meet you!
Sincerely, Alexandre

Hi Alexander

I
commissioned the fabrication of an aluminum copy in Greece
in January, sorry about that.  I have seen some SM with
stainless steel replacement ladders, which are cheaper to
make but 3 times heavier, so I am sure other SM owners would
be interested in a lightweight original.  Also note, I
discovered that there are 2 different widths; older SM like
mine are 35cm wide, while newer ones are wider (40cm
maybe)?

By the way, it
costs 1050 euro plus VAT including anodising.  They
cannibalized the stainless steel parts from the damaged swim
ladder.

Hello Paul,

Here is the invoice for mine:
http://www.nikimat.com/factures/2015_03_18_spurs_2.jpg
Size “B” 1 1/2 “ (1.5 inch)

If you were in the Caribbean, you could purchase my spare for 80% of a new one, also have 5 annual service kit left.

Sincerely, Alexandre

Hello!My
Spurs Line cutter is broken. I'm not on the boat and
need to know the measurement for ordering a new one,
probably enough with the shaft diameter. Does anyone know
that? Or if anyone know the article number of the

Amel owner saying goodbye

rcavie <no_reply@...>
 

Dear friends AMEL owners

Probably this will be the last email that I send and I will withdraw from the group. 

The reason is that Hurricane Irma destroyed my Amel SM2k and it will be impossible for me to recover it.

The insurance will only pay a fraction of what it would cost me to buy an equal one. Deductibles and other reasons.

This situation not only destroyed my ship but my dreams. My dreams of living on board with my wife, my dreams of crossing the Atlantic to the East, my dreams of sailing the Mediterranean and perhaps other seas and finally returning to the beautiful South of Chile.


In this group I gained friends and knowledge and for that, I thank each and every one of you, especially Eric and Alexandre who from the beginning helped me with their advice.

If you sail to Chile you will have a friend here.

Greetings to all

Since people asked for an update on our experience with our Firefly batteries, here is a link to what we have seen so far:


In summary, they are behaving pretty much as expected.  

The key question about their ability to resist significant sulfation when held partial charged for long periods will not be known until I have a feel for their lifespan.  Hopefully, that will take a long time to answer!

Eric,

 

The plugs have the  following dimensions:

Big OD 17 mm,

Small OD 13 mm,

Length 25 mm

Cut it to 6 or 6.5 mm length..

I thoroughly cleaned the cavities, applied grease on the screw head, and then plugged it. It works good. 

 

I don't have PN now. I will try to get PN when I have good WiFi connection. I am in D'Arlet, Martinique now.

Hi,
there is a small metal box containing four fuses behind the bench. You'll have to remove the wooden cover. In my case it was just a fuse that didn't work anymore.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Maramu: Location for watermaker

David Wallace
 

Miles,

One thing to add re installing you RO system. My low pressure feed pump is a Johnson Pumps CM30P7.  The pump is almost totally silent, but does need to be mounted below the waterline. It feeds the HP pump for my system that makes 35 gl/hr. It’s located in the engine room and has suffered no problems due to the heat, and has been in service for 5-6 years. I use the same model Johnson pump to feed the cooling circuit for our refrigeration, and it’s also in the engine room, and that pump has been in service for 16 years (knock on wood)! So that’s an option to consider.

Many thanks for that idea David

I’ll have a look at that when I’m next onboard

I was actually thinking I’d mount the reverse osmosis unit on the fibreglass tray behind the toilet but you have made me think that I could instead extend the shelves above the tray an place the unit in there

I suspect the lower the unit the better as the pump will have less work to do but perhaps the shelf would be a good option

All the very best

Miles

If you decide to place the unit outboard of the aft toilet, you can make more space by moving the shelf facing panel inboard such that it sits on the fiberglass base behind the toliet. We did this in both the forward and aft heads, extending the shelves about four inches, giving us quite a bit of more storage space with no interference with the toilet.

Thanks for this Michael 

I’ll have a look at that option 
My engine bay is flanked with batteries 
One side is service and starter
The other has a big battery for windlass and furler 
Plus I’ve 3 alternators  perhaps we all have. 
So not that much space for cat swinging 

But in many ways the engine bay would work well. 
Perhaps I could make a removable platform 

I’m not close to the boat at the mo but still curious about the option of between the aft toilet and the hull. Perhaps just for the RO unit 

I’ll send a few photos once I’ve settled on a good spot but very helpful to hear others experience so many thanks to those who responded

I installed an Aquabase watermaker in the engine room. The pump went on a 
small platform besides the battery compartment and the main unit is wall 
mounted at the port side of the engine room as far forward as possible.
So I still have enough place in the engine room to do all the works.

Good luck
