Re: Wiring to aft head SM243
Kent,
Just a guess: What about at the fill pump? The + wire could be connected in series.
With best regards,

Wiring to aft head SM243
Ahoy Amelians,
I’m hoping someone can help me figure out where to look for a break in the connection from the aft head circuit breaker to the aft head switch. The fill pump has power but the macerator Pump doesn’t. There’s only one + wire at the breaker which controls both pumps, so somewhere between the breaker and the switches, there’s a connection that splits the + into two legs to the two pumps. I assume that’s the likely place for there to be a disconnect??? unfortunately the single wire from the breaker disappears a large bundle of wires that goes up the forward engine room bulkhead and into that huge spaghetti bowl of wires above the galley sink. At the head switch, all wires disappear into a chase going forward. Tracing it’s going to be a challenge, so I was hoping someone might know where it divides into feeds to both pumps. any help greatly appreciated. Kent & Iris SM243 Kristy

Hi,

You use them with the staysail, you need to set the one on the luvside. I bring it down to a bock and from there on the small winch to give a counter force on the mast where the top of staysail is attached. Oliver from Vela Nautica Amel 54 Sent from my Huawei Mobile

Re: Bow locker floors/hawse pipe replacement project recap
James Alton
Nick,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
You can buy fibreglass exhaust and better IMO, heavier walled shaft log and rudder post tubing in various sizes, I am thinking of using the latter after figuring out a way to install some replaceable plastic (probably Delrin/Acetal) bushings. I will definitely glass the tubing in at both ends so that it becomes a structural part of the boat as was down originally on my boat. I like the idea of a strong compression member above the floor of the chain locker floor in case the chain ever somehow balled up and jammed which could generate a lot of force! So far the original work (bow locker floor and the chain pipe) on my boat is still fine after 31 years so I think that the selection of the galvanized pipe was a pretty good choice. Stainless pipe being more noble and of substantial mass would make a less favourable couple with the chain causing corrosion to occur sooner unfortunately. We will be in Sardinia pretty soon as well, have a nice sail over and who knows maybe we will cross paths! James SV Sueno, Maramu #220 Arbatax, Sardinia, Italy

Re: Running Backstays
Hi John,
I just went through the handover week on my Amel 50. Regarding the running backstays, they told me to use them when running with the staysail. The goal is to avoid mast pumping. So, anytime you see the mast pumping, or bending toward the bow around the middle, use the running backstays. I have not used the boat yet, so I do not have practical experience. I hope this info helps. Theo. s/v Paloma Amel 50 #18 Still in La Rochelle, getting ready for the Med.

Re: Running Backstays

I have owned an Amel 54 for only a few months. As most 54s, the boat is rigged with genoa and staysail, and yes I have the reinforced mast with a little prebend, and followed the advice on having heavier lower stays than the original. And I have the dyneema lines ready to be used as running backstays ... but no tackle (yet) at the back end of the running backstays.
(My previous boat had a genoa and self-tacking staysail, but had lower forward stays and adjustable hydraulic tension on the aft stays to adjust the mainsail shape, and no running backstays.) So, I looked through the Amel owner manual and user guide. I found no pictures or advice on using the running backstays. So I would appreciate a little advice on 3 items 1) Do you have any pictures of your running backstays in action, showing how you rigged the tackle and maybe the size of the tackle.. 2) When running downwind, do use them if you have staysail and Genoa (or gennaker) set and are running hard? 3) When going upwind do you use them only when using staysail in a heavy blow ?? Any help would be appreciated ... especially a picture or two. John, Justina (Austin TX) A54 #34, in France

Stanchion measurements / scuba tank holder dimensions
James Cromie
Hello fellow Amel owners -
I would like to make a wooden SCUBA tank holder the twill mount against the stanchions on the aft deck of our boat. I am not currently on my boat, and would like to ask if anyone can measure the tubing diameter of the stanchions and the distance between centers for the stanchions near aft part of the boat for a Super Maramu 2000. I'd also love to know about anyone else's design that is currently in use, and any photos you're able to share! Thank you! James Soteria SM2K 347 Le Marin, Martinique

Re: Bow locker floors/hawse pipe replacement project recap

Thomas:
I think I just realized why Amel didn't use SS pipe for the hawse pipe. I just priced a 31 inch long pice of 316L SS tubing (OD 3 inch with 0.25 inch wall thickness). $10 US per inch or $310 for the piece. Yikes!! a bit of 1/4 into 316L plate brought the total to $375.00. The same in galvanized pipe would probably be $10. Of course using stainless would alleviate the grief we are all suffering in replacing this bit of kit. Simultaneously it would prevent us from gaining an intimate knowledge of our boats systems / weak points. Gary S. Silver s/v Liahona Amel SM 2000 # 335 Puerto Rico

Re: SSB circuit breaker
Gary Silver
My SSB is a 12 VDC unit. The boat is a 24 volt system. The SSB circuit breaker is for the 12 VDC power supply that is mounted on a removable board on the aft wall of the cabinet below the nav station (i.e. the partition between the hanging locker and the nav station cabinetry). The fault causing your breaker to trip can be of three sources:
1. A faulty circuit breaker 2. A fault in the power supply if your boat has the same as mine 3. A fault in the SSB or the wiring between any of these. Good luck in your trouble shooting. Gary S. Silver s/v Liahona Amel SM 2000 # 335 Puerto Del Rey Marina, Fajardo, Puerto Rico

Re: SM Chain Counter Update
Oliver Henrichsen, SV Vela Nautica
Hello, if this helps anybody. On Amel54 with autoanchper chain counter I replaced first with original sensor, which was dead after 1year. Then I used a Meanwell reedswitch embeded in hot glue and shrinktube as replacement, works fine now.
On Thu, May 23, 2019, 21:50 Thomas Peacock <peacock8491@...> wrote: Success with getting the chain counter to work, not working since we bought the boat 9 years ago. The problem was a bad sensor by the windlass. Even though the replacement was not identical it did work. Please note this applies only to the LaRochelle installed counter with he orange sensor and digital display with the Amel logo.

New Curtains
Hi, I am wanting to update the curtains on our Super Maramu 2000. Looking for ideas from anyone else that has replaced theirs. I like the look of the curtains on the Amell 55 which appear to have a solid tube at the bottom of the curtain. Can someone post a couple of closeup photos showing how they are attached. Thanks,

Re: SM Chain Counter Update

It is sensor IB 5072, made by IFM. I bought it in the US from Radwell; however, IFM is a German company; if you are in the EU you might be able to buy directly from IFM or a European distributor.
