Re: When to use Running Back Stays and Onan Control Board PCB
Thanks Bill
327-1533 is the number we have for the MDKAV. I'm still waiting to hear from my man how the windings tested out. How did this get in a thread about Running backstays ?? Cheers Alan

Re: When to use Running Back Stays and Onan Control Board PCB
Unusually we have a staysail (trinquete) on our Super Maramu.
We had a staysail on our previous 12m IOR yacht also. You use the running backstays ALWAYS when using the staysail, because it supports the mast. Otherwise the only support is at the top of the mast and the tension on the staysail luff will cause the mast to pump, which will destroy the mast in big winds. So the deal is when you sheet the staysail on the port, side for example, the running backstay on the starboard side is wound on the starboard winch...tight. When you tack, you swap sides, staysail sheet on starboard winch, port side runner on port winch... Generally going upwind in strong breeze is when we use the staysail, the genoa is too baggy when reefed, it's not possible to maintain a good angle to the wind. So ALWAYS use the runners when going up wind with the staysail. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

Re: Engine alignment
Thank you Eric, Davi, Bill, Olivier and all for your suggestions regarding the align issue. At present it seems yo be well aligned, done fairly meticulously but sans tool. The vibration is completely resolved. For a variety of reasons we will push on and have to hope that in X# of hours we are not in Davi’s situation. Again thank you.

On another recent thread topic regarding anchors. We just switched from S100 spade to 25 kg Rocna since we felt the Spade struggled to penetrate weeds and harder packed bottom surfaces. We have a Rocna on our boat in the PNW and it has been awesome. I did however switch anchors on Liesse with some misgiving given the recent reports of loss of purchase after 180deg wind shifts. Well, to my complete astonishment we fell victim to this phenomenon with the very first use of the Rocna. Gaeta bay is dense mud, very good holding in our experience thus far. We had a solid bite and well set anchor but after a rather lazy low velocity 180 deg wind shift and then back to our original orientation over a a couple of hours we noted we were now dragging as wind built to 18-22 kn. The anchor was completely filled with a huge clod of mud nearly as tall as the roll bar rendering it more of a large bowling ball than anchor and which was not easy to clear. My impression is that the anchor acts like a large ice cream scoop when is swivels rendering it ineffective if the mud is dense and sticky. This is a disconcerting event on a first deployment to say the least and i m not sure what i ll do but it does seem extra caution is warranted with a thick mud bottom and the 180 deg wind shift when using a Rocna. Best regards, Dave Bruce Liesse SN006

I'm thinking of installing a forward looking sonar. Is there any one you recommend? Paul on SY Kerpa SM 259

You should have Google Map Overlays for all your anchorages. OpenCPN with the google map overlays is a good solution. Also, I would suggest forward looking sonar for anyone doing a circumnavigation. Ken

Hi to all, First I want to thank the groups and mainly Bill R for the great dedication and support. I have a long time issue with boat speed on the H3000. It's randomly coming an going. My sensors are clean, the potentiometer was fixed. What else can I do? Thanks and warm regards to all. Ofer Magen Alba A54 160

Re: When to use Running Back Stays and Onan Control Board PCB
Scott. That’s exactly what we do re the staysail and the running backstay. Awesome sail that allows pointing quite high, really stabilized the ship. Also adds about a knot in light upwind going when used in conjunction with the Genoa. We occasionally even sheet it to the opposite site allowing for a few extra degrees upwind in light airs and calm seas.

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 <kimberlite@...>
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
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.

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
