Re: Engine room ventilator
Mike Longcor (SV Trilogy)
Hi everyone,
While on the topic... Our engine room has no 220V blower, something that has bothered me for a while and often prompts me to open the engine room cover or turn on the DC powered blowers during longer generator runs... not a great set up. Just curious what brands, styles, CFM ratings, etc. have worked well for others to ventilate the generator. And upstream of the main engine exhaust blower is the preferred installation? We plan to install something when we get to Panama City next month. Thanks, Mike & Hannah SV Trilogy SM#23 San Blas, Panama

Thanks Olivier For info, the galley extractor uses a Plastimo 16275 (dated 2008, so probably installed by the yard). It’s rated 2A, 150m^3/h (88 cfm) so quite a bit less than the engine room blower (150 cfm). I did hope for some redundancy there and might decide to implement it. Best, Thomas GARULFO A54-122 Panama

Hello Thomas, Amel indeed installed the heavy duty ones in the engine room and the 35440 for the galley exhaust. Yours may have been replaced since the boat is built with a normal one, just because the heavy duty one was not available. Or maybe the 35440 was originally installed because of a lack of the heavy duty ones (AMEL also had/has to face supply failures sometimes). However, the inlet blower is the most exposed to salty air, and it may not be wise to install the most expensive there... Bon courage. Olivier

Re: Wintering in Aegean
I kept my last boat in Leros at Partheni for three or four winters. It is a good, tidy, secure, boatyard. There are no shops nearby but the yard has a reasonable chandlery. It is walking distance to the airport with daily flights to Athens.
They can cope with quite large yachts maybe up to 80 feet. They can undertake pretty much anything work wise but I always did everything myself so I can not vouch for their workmanship personally. Nick Amelia Aml 54 019 currently ashore in La Palma Canary Islands.

I would recommend the Marina of Agios Nikolaos on Crete - if you can get a place there. We have a couple of Amel here, most afloat though.
It is one of the cheaper marinas in Greece with a lively town 100m from the marina. 1 hour to the airport of Iraklion (no direct flights during the winter, have to change in Athen). All services present. Costs for being on the hard are the same as for being afloat but the marina is always full during the winter, so you have to book quite early. Michael, SY SIONED, Maramu #148

Re: Engine room ventilator
Sv Garulfo
Hello Thanks all for your feedback and link to prior discussion. Has anyone installed the alternative blower suggested (jabsco 35770-0094 continuous duty) who could share their feedback (any fuse, wire changes required) ? Any insight on why Amel didn’t go for this 24v model with a longer motor life? Thanks all for your input. Best, Thomas GARULFO A54-122 Panama city

Re: Wintering in Aegean
Hi Greg,
I'd highly recommend the Partheni Boatyard on the north end of the island of Leros. It's part of Agmar Marine which also runs the Lakki marina in the main bay. The boatyard is immediately next door to the airport - you can walk over for regular flights to Athens at €41 on Olympic Air.. They've got a 70 ton travel lift and a 55 ton crane and can easily handle your boat. The workers are highly skilled for anything you'd want. Cheers, Craig Briggs, SN68, Sangaris

Olivier explained to us a while back, this was because it would last longer (running on 12 volt) also I think less voltage variation. Sincerely, Alexandre --------------------------------------------

It’s a 24V/5.3A 250CFM jabsco (ref 35440-0010) that’s purposely powered with 12V from the engine alternator/starter battery (as per the A54 user manual) We are in Panama and we only have access to the 12V equivalent. Would that be ok? Anyone knows why Amel uses a 24V appliance with 12V? Thanks in advance Thomas GARULFO A54-122 Panama City

We wintered in D-Marin in Didim Turkey, Lesvos Greece, Kos Marina Greece and Gouvia Marina Corfu Greece . We found all of the marinas to be safe and friendly. However only Didim and Gouvia Marina had the facilities to lift us out of the water or space on the hard. Corfu is in the Ionian and not the Aegean, but it has many direct flights to many of the main European cities, especially outside the winter months.

Since last year July I'm in Kalamata where also a SM2K is wintering here.
Nice Marina with all facilities. However in the wintertime not so much flights to and from airport Kalamata. An express bus to Athen takes about 3 hours. -- Gerhard Mueller Amel Sharki #60 Currently Kalamata, Greece

Re: Volvo D2-75 Repower
Jose Venegas <josegvenegas@...>
Eric and Ian,
With respect to the autoprop zinc, I have been using plastic screws and painting with nail polish the surface of the zinc on the thin areas outside of the screw hole. The plastic screws keep good compression between the zinc and the prop and prevent seising between two metals. The painting of the zinc prevents it from falling out when those areas are prematurely worn out. Last year’s zinc was still 50% at the end of the season !
