Super Maramu 2000 - Water in bilge hall way compartment
Lucy Pearce sv Starfish
Hi
We have found a fair amount of water in the bilge compartment under the hallway between the forward head and cabin.(where the depth sounder and speed gauge are located) The toilet pump has stopped working, whether this is because of the water in there, or whether a broken pump has caused water to accumulate here I don’t know. Does anyone know what the valve/stopcock is in this bilge compartment or offer any advice? many thanks in advance Lucy and Chris Starfish HIN 238 Super Maramu 2000

Re: Damp in Sharki aft Cabin bulkhead
Hi Mark, it is one of the problems of that series of boats. In the holes under the mizzen tends to stagnate the water and after years there are infiltrations that wet the whole balsa sandwich and also the bulkhead of the aft cabin. The best thing is to eliminate the rotten part and rebuild the bottom using epoxy resin and fiberglass. To work well, make an opening in the lower part, under the original hole. I attach photos. The same goes for the three lockers below which often have the same problem.

measures of the propeller pin / AMEL 54 or Super Maramu
I'm looking to get a new pin for my propeller shaft. Alban from AMEL in Martinique wants to make one, but doesn't have the measures. Does any of you, dear Amelean, have one in spare or a plan / know the measures? The Super Maramu and 54 have the same shaft / pin.
Wish you all a happy new year and fair winds for the rest of the year.. Alex

Damp in Sharki aft Cabin bulkhead
marklesparkle59
Has any other Sharki owner experienced moisture getting into the aft cabin bulkhead from the mizzen pockets? How did you deal with it?

Re: Recommentation for Sharki second autopilot
Hi Rainer,
which Windpilot do you have installed? Would be great if you can share a picture. Thank's Volker Puchta MickMoon Sharki#176

Re: Recommentation for Sharki second autopilot
Hi Warren,
the autopilot drive is connected to the steering wheel. It is a rotary drive from Autohelm and was installed originally by Amel when MickMoon was build in 1989. This autopilot does work quite well with some limitations on strong winds and wave from the back. The more modern autopilots will do much better as they do have modern motion sensors and better software. Regards, Volker Puchta MickMoon Sharki#176

Re: Recommentation for Sharki second autopilot

On my Sharki I use a Windpilot with it’s own rudder...not cheap, but after 2 years it’s some of the best money I spent. My Neco is also 40 years old and still works perfect but I like the Windpilot for its quietness and no need for electricity plus it gives me an emergency rudder ....

Re: Recommentation for Sharki second autopilot
Hi Warren, of course a pilot mounted on the wheel will never have the power of a fixed one installed on the rudder. However, I still have his original Neco driver who is not kidding in terms of power, although the electronics are 40 years old, so quite stupid! The Navico is mounted sideways and does not create problems with the bulkhead. You have to test based on the pilot you want to buy. I use it as a reserve in the event of an emergency going by motor, if unfortunately the Neco breaks. When sailing, I use the wind vane which has all the power and sensitivity I need on any occasion. However, what I can tell you is that the Sharki is a well balanced and light boat at the helm and if you hoist the right sail, even a pilot on the wheel could get along quite well. However, if you intend to face big journeys you must have a powerful and reliable pilot and not just a pilot on the wheel.

My Sharki has still the original equipped Neco 392 autopilot. The best autopilot I ever have seen and used. It works even with wind and waves from backwards when most autopilots fails and gave up. Sadly the Neco are not manufactured anymore. When you see a used one for selling buy it.

Re: Recommentation for Sharki second autopilot
Hi Giorgio. I also own a Sharki. I've been sailing with no autopilot for some years now in SE Asian waters. I am seriously considering a wheel mounted pilot but am constantly advised that they would be unsuitable for a vessel of the size of the Sharki and also because of the close proximity of the wheel to the bulk head.

Re: Recommentation for Sharki second autopilot
On my Sharki I installed a Windpilot that also works as an emergency rudder. No problem with mizzen. Then I also have a Navico electronic pilot installed externally on the steering wheel. The idea of having all the spare parts of a Raymarine seems good, but a friend of mine this year during the crossing from Cabo Verde to Martinique broke the wheel rack and had to helm a SM for 1300 miles with the emergency bar! If you don't want to install a wind pilot I highly recommend you try installing a Raymarine directly on the rudder. Best Giorgio Ardrizzi - Sharki # 1 In Prickly Bay, Grenada

Great advice.

Exactly what we do, except for selling it later. We let our spare go with the boat when we sold it. We found all of the components, used, but serviceable, on line.... ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Re: Recommentation for Sharki second autopilot
There are 5 components to your Raymarine autopilot system: Control Head Course Computer Drive Unit Fluxgate Compass Rudder Reference A failure of any component can cause the system to fail. Individual components are easy and fast to install. Maybe you should consider having one of each of the components ready to go. You will likely have to search for a used Control Head and Computer, and can probably find the other components in new condition. The used components can probably always be sold again for what you will pay for them. What I suggest is like "renting" a backup system at zero cost.

Recommentation for Sharki second autopilot
Dear all,
hope everyone did have a great Chrismas and will have a good start into 2020. We are starting to prepare our Sharki for the long passage from Europe to the Caribbean. Up to now we have sailed her in the Netherlands and Baltic sea and the installed Autohelm ST6000 autopilot worked quite well. But crossing an ocean, I think we should have a second backup system. Especially as we are a small crew of just two persons. I know that Amel did install on the bigger models two autopilots, but I have never seen a second autopilot installed on a Sharki. The space in the aft cabin next to the rudder quadrat is quite limited. Even when a compact drive unit Like the Jefa DD15 may fit in, I am not sure whether it will work smoothly. We also thought about wind pilots, but also not sure there as mizzen boom seems to long and may hit the wind vane. Would be great to get some input from other Sharki owers Best regards, Volker S/Y MickMoon - Sharki #176
