Re: Absence of boom-kickers on a 54
Ian Park
I’m guessing here but the SN and SM have a rope that ‘serves’ as a kicker. But with the full width main sheet track on the foredeck and then the preventer when fully downwind I haven’t had cause to need a kicker. I can get all the flattening I need on the mainsail from this combination.
Obviously I have no experience of the 54. Ian Ocean Hobo

Re: Absence of boom-kickers on a 54
I wish that I knew the answer. The base of the 54 mast has the hole for a shackle for a boom kicker.

Re: Volvo D3-110 belt changes
Hi Gang The Official Volvo Maintenance Schedule requires change of Cam Belt/Timing Belt every 1400 hours. 300h for the Alternator Belt (also drives the Water-Pumps (inkl. Impeller-Pump) is quite low. As mentioned before, - maybe slip or other issues. BTW: The Alternator Belt on my A-54 had 500h when I made Service with a certified Volvo technician from a Volvo dealer in Italy. Volvo Technician said the Belt looks perfect and there is no need for change. He guarantied another 200h-300h lifetime.

Absence of boom-kickers on a 54
It may have been asked before, but does anyone know why both booms on a 54 are not equipped with a kicker to keep the boom down in aft winds?
It seems an omission but there may be a good reason for it that I can't see at the moment. Cheers, Arno Luijten SV Luna, A54-121

SM Main Sail Furling Gearbox Black Mounting Rings
Hi All:
The black composite mounting rings that are on top and bottom of the LeRoy Sommer gearbox for the furling of the main-sail on Liahona were cracked. I ordered a set from Maud at Amel and when they arrived there were two identical parts. However, the system requires two mirror image parts. The top and bottom rings are mirror images otherwise the mounting holes don't line up. I sent detailed photos of this to Maud and requested a top ring and a bottom ring (the bevel on the side and the mounting holes as well as the counter-bore for the gearbox are opposite each other) and Maud replied that they only had the one type. I don't know if this was just a communication error or misunderstanding but I ultimately just drilled new mounting holes in the mounting rings in order to make it work. Perhaps you will have better luck when ordering if you order "one top ring and one bottom ring" thereby specifying that you know they are indeed different parts. Sincerely, Gary S. Silver s/v Liahona Amel SM2000 #335 PS If you reference the last two pictures here you will note that the top mounting ring creates a reservoir for water entrapment around the furling fitting (NOT GOOD). I attempted to remedy this by cutting a small relief channel in the lower face of the mounting ring to provide a drain (weep) hole / channel for water to exit this area. Whether this will create a stress riser that will crack the material or not will only be revealed with time. The original design however, in my opinion is flawed because it traps water in this critical area. Puerto Del Rey Marina, Puerto Rico

Engine mounting bolt length Maramu
James Alton
Hello,
I am planning to remove and refurbish the original Amel mounts for my 1987 hull #220 Maramu when I return in June. I would like to have new mounting bolts on hand. I have removed two of the aft mounting bolts which measure 69 MM in length as measured from under the head to the end of the bolt. The bolt diameter is 12mm. I am wondering if the bolt length for the forward bolts will be the same? If the forward bolts are of a different length than the aft bolts would anyone know the length? Thanks, James Alton SV Sueno Maramu #220

Re: SM2K Main Furler Gearbox & Motor Assembly shock absorbers and el. motor brushes

I believe I purchased something similar from McMaster Carr. Google McMaster. I would try a big alternator starter motor rebuild shop for the brushes. However the brushes are made in different harnesses, I would try Amel first for both those things. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

SM2K Main Furler Gearbox & Motor Assembly shock absorbers and el. motor brushes
Michael & Robyn
Dear Amel Group,
does anyone know where in the US to buy the cylindrical mounts / shock absorbers (4 black round rubber pieces with a through hole) that mount the furler motor / gearbox assembly to the main mast? Also does anyone know the after market spare part number and supplier for the motor brushes for the LEROY SOMER MBT 86M electrical motor. Same question for the bow thruster motor?

Hi Bill, The rope for the Opacmare pasarelle is very expensive- 350 Euro. I was lucky to find a new ( part 9324994926) on Ebay for 200 Euro. Next time I will try to built a rope myself using a protection for sheets( 5 $/ft) and put inside a rubberline and small dyneema. Wolfgang Weber SY Elise Amel 54#162 Annapolis

Re: Electric Motor for SM main outhaul/furler
David Vogel
Thanks Bob,
Yes, Didier, he is a real gem. He did our engine mounts in 2017, and the new wire-mesh filter (and stop-cocks) for the ONAN in 2018. Most comforting to know that the impeller is still intact.
I’ll try to track down some InterProtect here in Panama before we leave, and that can be another of the many little projects for when we’re whiling away the time, twiddling our thumbs with nothing else to do out in the remote Pacific. Ha - dreamin! (In the meantime, it the motor is safely tucked away and vacuum-sealed.)
Blue skies,
