Re: Amel is going lithium

I don’t know current pricing. The generator and mizzen attachment was about 3K 2 years ago but I believe prices have gone up. Definitely cheaper to have more solar but I like the mix of power sources. Cheers. Joerg

Engine alignment
eric freedman
David, When I designed and made the aluminum alignment tool in the photo below, I found it was too tight a fit as the input shaft which is also 35.00 mm. To make life simpler open the hole up a few thousands of an inch. Above is the tool used by Amel . The bolt holes are not necessary and I just simplified their design. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376
From: main@AmelYachtOwners.groups.io [mailto:main@AmelYachtOwners.groups.io] On Behalf Of CW Bill Rouse
David,
Some mechanics have aligned without a special alignment tool (a fixed coupling) designed and made by Amel and easily duplicated in a machine shop. I think perfect alignment without a fixed coupling is 99% luck rather than skill. The alignment is done with the tool, then the engine is slid forward and the tool replaced with a Vetus Coupling.
When the Vetus Coupling is removed, be sure to check the Rubber Bushings inside (sold separately). This is a drawing of that tool for a Super Maramu. Be sure to check the shaft size on your Santorin:

Re: Engine alignment
Porter McRoberts
I second this opinion/advice. Strongly. We really struggled without it. Without device: cdrive drive shaft damaged with new longblock replacement and needed rebuilt driveshaft and coupling. After device (and rebuilt driveshaft and new coupling (and new engine)) 370 hours of silky-smooth, totally vibration free motoring. Just do it. It really should be with every Amel. My 0.02$. Porter.

Re: When to use Running Back Stays and Onan Control Board PCB
Scott SV Tengah
I'm sure others have done it before, but we don't use the staysail downwind.
We either use it in lieu of the genoa in 28+ knot apparent winds upwind or just going upwind along with the genoa. The latter sometimes allows approx. 10 degree higher pointing angles, but not always. Keep in mind I have a 54 and not a 55. Just give it a go and see how the boat responds. I will tell you that you don't want the baby forestay (or any standing rigging really) flapping about. -- Scott 2007 A54 #69 SV Tengah http://www.svtengah.com

B&G paddlewheel sensor
Herbert Lackner
hi all, we changed all the electronics on KALI MERA from B&G to Raymarine. Some months before I renewed the B&G paddlewheel speed sensor, would sell it if someone needs it, is almost new. Just found it when I sorted my tools.
B&G item 202 00 100. just send me a mail to herbert-at-lackner.at herbert KALI MERA, SN120, Mazatlan Mexico www.kali-mera.net

Re: When to use Running Back Stays and Onan Control Board PCB
Thanks Scott, does this mean the running back stay is used up or down wind when the stay stay is used? I’m new to a ketch and have a lot to learn- regards Paul

Re: When to use Running Back Stays and Onan Control Board PCB
Scott SV Tengah
I agree that you should ideally use the running backstay anytime you are using the staysail. I will say we do use the preventers anytime we go greater than 100deg apparent. It doesn't take long and the downside is too big.
That said, we don't do everything perfectly aboard Tengah all the time. Regarding the running backstay, if you ever see the baby forestay getting loose from the staysail pulling the mast forward, you definitely want to use the running backstay at that point. -- Scott 2007 A54 #69 SV Tengah http://www.svtengah.com

Re: Amel is going lithium
Joerg Esdorn
I don’t know off the top of my head but there is an output curve on their website which is pretty good. The big benefit is that it’s running all the time when you’re in 7 knots apparent or more. So I get 50 Ah per day or more quite often. It’s great when you are sailing on a reach or upwind. Not so great downwind in Italy in August.

Re: Amel is going lithium
Everyone, You know how cationary I have been regarding Lithium based electrical systems onboard an Amel. I had one client who had serious issues because the source he used failed to install all needed devices and failed to correctly setup the devices installed. BUT, as technology evolves, so should opinions. Although I am proceeding cautiously, I am currently working with several recommended marine power supply companies that not only supply lithium-ion batteries, but also supply all the other devices, which must be changed in an Amel, coupled with expert support. One of these is located in Europe another in the USA, and the third in the Caribbean. My hope is to within 30 days have a basic package assorted and spect'd and to have optional add-ons like different sized Victron charger/inverters and possibly electric cooking devices. The future is exciting. When the above sourcing and specifications project is completed, I will release the package here on the AYOG. I will also separately notify my Amel Yacht School clients via email of preferential ordering and support. I want to especially thank Scott Nguyen, Amel 54 TENGAH Hull#69, for the research he shared with me 3 months ago. Best, CW Bill Rouse 720 Winnie St Galveston Island, TX 77550 +1(832) 380-4970

Re: B&G issues
Oliver, I suggest you try the calibration and parameters prior to any replacements or cleaning as my problem was similar to your issue

Re: B&G issues
Jose Venegas
Oliver,
I had a similar problem with the boat speed reading and changed the sensors (not an easy thing to do) Unfortunately the reading was still 0. I then open the box and cleaned the contacts between the different components and it came back to life. It is possible that that was the original problem but I had already changed the sensors. As for the wind speed indicator, I have some times a problem with it but it usually comes back after I do a system test. Clearly, age has its consequences. Jose Venegas Ipanema SM2K 278

It is fairly simple if you get to the calibration page under set up but the manual should assist more I expect Paul 55#17

Re: Maramu locker door mishap
Wade Shikoski
Rainer is correct.
on the 83 maramu the slider rails are both glued and finish nailed to the facing which is 8 mm veneered ply. Dont try to remove the rails or you will deface the laminate..... on the 83 as rainer stated there are small rubber hose in the slot of the runner. You must remove the rubber hose then carefully lift the sliding door out. then there are 2 screws on the back of the sliding door to remove the handle. best of luck. Ask me how I know.. I learned the hard way..
