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 Fair winds Rafael SM2k 246

Re: An update on our Firefly Batteries.
greatketch@...
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! Bill Kinney SM160, Harmonie Freeport, Bahamas

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] NIKIMAT Illustrations & Parts for sale (SWIM LADDER)
eamonn.washington@...
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. Eamonn Washington Travel Bug SM 151 Cleopatra Marina

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.

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

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.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Bow Thruster Abuse
amelforme
Jeff, FYI, The 53 and 54 bow thrusters are entirely different . You are correct that the 54 incorporates a thermal limiter to keep it from going Chernobyl when overused. The 53 has no thermal or overcurrent protection of any kind. When I queried about the reason for this from the guy who designed it, Jacques Carteau , he said that in dire/extreme situations, he thought it was better to lose the bow thruster to overuse than to lose the boat, or severely damage it, due to the bow thruster taking a time out. Personally I prefer Carteaus method. All that said, the bow thruster on your boat was never abused when I owned it but I had to have the motor rebuilt right before I sold it to you as the brushes and the commutator didn’t play nice with each other. It worked fine until the moment it would not work at all. I’m glad I always test for forward and reverse and bow thruster both ways before the docklines come off. The day it failed was very windy and not with any options to avoid catastrophe if I had cast off. You might not have wanted to buy what was left!

Hi Paul, if the super maramus thruster motors are made by sliepner, and they are a side power, as on the 54, there is a built in overheat switch. The switch itself will go (ask me how I know) and the unit will not function. Otherwise it will stop the unit from working until the motor cools again. It can be challenging docking here in le marin when its blowing hard and they cram you in like sardines. Best Regards. Jeff Spirit Amel 54 #14

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Bow Thruster Wiring and French terms??
Ryan Meador
Is it hand-written, and thus might be "tom", for "tomber"? That's French for "drop/fall/go down". That's my only guess; some quick googling didn't turn up any other likely meanings. Ryan
