Re: Super Maramu vs. Super Maramu 2000
Staten <vls43402@...>
Thanks. But that discussion appears to only concern the Mango and a version of the Super Maramu. Im not finding a discussion of the 2000 model Super Maramu and prior versions.

Re: Dripless shaft seal
Hi,

I have no qualms endorsing the PSS dripless shaft seal as I have had one on my Newport 41 for 10 yrs, with no problems at all. I inspect it frequently and have seen no actual wear and only slight stiffening in the bellows after 8 years prompting a replacement at our last haul out. They re not terribly expensive so a more frequent replacement schedule is not too onerous. Just my 2 cents. Dave Bruce Liesse SN006

Re: Dripless shaft seal
The PSS only sank one boat I’m aware of.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Another, close friend, almost lost his boat, when the PSS bellows hose failed, 600 miles from shore. He was able to wrap stuff around the bellows to slow the leak to something manageable by the bilge pump, but he could not run his motor. He yanked the PSS off as soon as he reached land. I’ve had success with the Lasdrop Gen II. It uses a conventional shaft log hose, and has an internal cutlass bearing to maintain concentricity of the seals. Their service kit is only two lip seals, that need replacement at 5-7 year intervals. When those go, it’s a slight drip, not torrent of water. Less than $20 for the seals. We’ve had our Lasdrop for 10 years, replaced seals once. I’m installing one on our new Amel 50 which comes with a PSS. I will replace it with the Lasdrop at our first haulout. It will be for sale then...... ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

A54 VHF antenna Make/Model
Sv Garulfo
Hello could anyone confirm the brand/model of the VHF antenna originally fitted by Amel on the 54? (we have asked them and they could not confirm) I have noted that Scott has replaced his with a Shakespeare 5215, and wanted to know if there were any alternatives. Thanks Regards Soraya Garulfo A54-122 Marquesas, French Polynesia

Re: A54 fridge circulation pump and a New Source for Marco Pumps
Sv Garulfo
Hello, Just wanted to provide feedback on our order of the marco up2-p from the following website www.marco-pumps.com. (Mate-USA doesn't deliver outside USA/Canada). Overall very pleased. Delivery is indeed 15USD/EUR worldwide, dispatch within 24h of order, and customer service available via whatsapp!!. (the maintenance kit was unavailable and required 2-3 extra days) Our parcel arrived to Tahiti - French polynesia - 5 working days after the order. Only reporting now as it then had to clear through customs and be forwarded further within french Polynesia etc. Not yet installed, but a couple of observations : - we were first surprised that the pump is significantly smaller than the jabsco one, fits in your hand. - we had to get different connectors to fit to existing hoses. The diagram on the pump documentation doesn't show the thread one side of the connector, and the 1/2" barb connection doesn't fit the existing setup. We will provide further feedback once installed and running. PS: thanks to Bill for sharing the discount code Best, Soraya GARULFO A54-122 Marquesas, French Polynesia

Re: Martinique- Good store for 12v batteries?
I delivered a catamaran from Le Marin Caraibes Marine to Ft Lauderdale in 2016.
the boat was OK but needed lots of details, stove, fuel jugs, a battery, hoses, light bulbs, oil and fuel filters. etc. I loaded up with the fantastic food available in Martinique - French imports at low prices. I repaired, jury-rigged, secured the boat as much as I could at the marina, then sailed to St Martin where I purchased everything needed easily, and far cheaper. It was possibly risky but the weather and conditions were all in my favor. I love Martinique. Le Marin is a fantastique place to see lots of Amels Richard Vicem 58 "Songbird" Branford, CT

Dripless shaft seal
Hello all. I plan to have my cutlass bearing replaced soon and want to use the opportunity to install a dripless shaft seal. I have a 1985 Mango. Looking at both the PSS and Tides systems. Anyone have experience either ? My mechanic is saying he recommends the tides as you can have a spare seal carrier installed and not need to pull the shaft when it needs replacing or leaks. I have a recommendation for the PSS from Dave (another Mango owner)....thoughts?

Re: Martinique- Good store for 12v batteries?

There were no good options for purchasing batteries in Le Marin, Martinique when I purchased my boat back in June 2017. Things may have changed since then and others might have some more current advice for you but I paid roughly double the price for no-name starter battery in Martinique than I would have paid for a name brand starter battery in the USA. Let us know what you find!

Re: SM- Yanmar Ignition module?
Thanks Bill, I found the spare and from which I could figure out the wiring. I just couldn't see the markings on the installed relay on the engine to figure it out. Thanks and regards, Daniel Carlson on sv BeBe, SM#387, Shelter Bay Marina

Re: SM- Yanmar Ignition module?
Dan this is a relay that is closed on one side by the Yanmar ignition when the key is turned on (2 wires 12 volt). This 12 volt side closes upon ignition and also closes the other side of the relay switching a positive 24 volt "excite" circuit for the alternator. With this info and the stamped info on the relay should help you determine which wire goes where. BTW, you have a spare relay. Also, the 24 alternator will self-excite at about 1800-2000 rpm, and once self-excited will stay excited.

SM- Yanmar Ignition module?
Hi SM-Yanmar owners: I changed the fuel filter recently and knocked loose the red (24v) wire that goes from the 24v alternator positive post into the small module that is attached to the engine between the fuel filter and the engine stop solenoid (?). The white ignition wire to the alternator also comes from this module. It has five spade connectors and only four are used. It looks like it came off of the rear most spade. Also, if it contacts the open center spade the red alternator warning light on the 24 volt panel comes on. Can anyone confirm which spade this red wire should be attached to? And for my learning; it would be great to know a bit more about how this module functions. I'm guessing or vaguely recalling that it uses some other signal like oil pressure to switch on the the ignition signal to the alternator? Thanks and regards, Daniel and Lori Carlson on sv BeBe, SM#387, at Shelter Bay Marina
