Herbert,
That’s a good looking awning you have. Where did you get it made?

Re: Furler Top Swivel Santorin
Herbert Lackner
I love this group!
@Hans: I did the same now, cleaned the foil several times, and it runs fine again, seems to be ok now. Next time we hoist the genua I will do this again. cleaning, cleaning, cleaning... I am glad that I do not have to remove the furler... @Ann-Sofie: the SN has a different swivel, nor GRP tube, Kali Mera ist from 1995, I think the last SNs have been build ~1996?, maye they changed it after that. after a short sailing season we have to return to work, Kali Mera is relaxing in Mazatlan until October, with her new boat cover on. We made this last year and it turned out to be great. Temperature inside is ~10 degrees C lower, boat was absolutely clean and dry... one of the "enhancements" I would do again. fair winds herbert, SN120, Kali Mera

Hi Herbert,
I have had the same problem.After cleaning the foil with the tool for
setting the Pasatsail, wraped with a smooth cloth, it runs well. Try it several
times; cleaning the cloth. at least I saoked a clean cloth with a
lubricant.
Kind regards

Ann-Sofie, I found the file - very good documentation!. Unfortunately the
SN Swivel seems to be different. I cannot see the inner plastic-tube, also the
two other parts look different. does anyone know if the SN swivel (1995) has an inner plastic tube or bearings? It seems to me that there are only two parts, an inner part that just slides on the foil and an outer part with bearings between inner and outer part. @Danny: thx for the hint, will wash it with fresh-water. herbert

I've done the same myself , 4 inch duct fits perfectly in the engine exhaust port and provides a fair amount of warm air to the cockpit. I was pretty sure I had no exhaust leaks ,but having a carbon monoxide detector in the cockpit would probably be a good precaution.

A tip from US. You can use the hot air from the engine rom, put an elbil and a pipe from the air ventilation.

Is it like this? There is a black plastic bush in the first photo between the furling foil and the sliding casting. I think that replacing the bottom bush will make sliding the casting up to the Genoa head to release the clamp much easier. This is on my long list of winter projects, any ideas welcome.

You don’t see that tube unless you have dismounted the swivel.

Hi Herbert, I know this is too simple but wash it thoroughly to get the salt off. If you lube it with the salt there the lube just retains the salt. Thoroughly wash the swivel bearings too, before you lube them Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean pearl

If the swivel is the same as on a SM, there is bearings.

We took ours apart and filed a document under files. I don’t renember the name if the doc but Genua Swivel or Forstay or something similar. There is a lot if pictures how the swivel looks and how it works. Regards Ann-Sofie on S/Y Lady Annila SM232, 1998.

Furler Top Swivel Santorin
Herbert Lackner
Hi Amelians,
I am working on KALI MERAs Genua Top Swivel. It does not slide up and down easy, sticks to the foil under load. I cleaned the foil and used rigging lubricant, but still it does not go up and down smooth. How is the connection between foil and swivel? Are there bearings or does it just slide (metal to metal). Especially at the upper part of the foil there are already some scratches, I tried to polish them out, but you can see that the swivel creates theses scratches, and under load it "jams". After polishing the foil and plenty of spray I can set the Genua, but it it is not as it should be. Any ideas how to solve that? thank you very much for your help herbert SN120, KALI MERA, Mexico

Re: A54 rudder removal
Hi Tom,
We have done both rudder gland packing an the bowthruster while in the water without issues. The jobs were done whilst in a marina berth with no water movement. We replaced all three rings of packing with the cut ends offset from each other. Cheers Alan Elyse SM 437

Re: Aluminium anodes for Sidepower
Ruslan Osmonov
Hi Paul, You need to know that there are no aluminum parts on a circuit. If you have Zinc, Aluminum, and Steel on one circuit. What is going to happen is that corrosion will always start with Zinc, then Aluminum, when both Zinc and Alu are eaten, corrosion will start eating Steel. If you have two similar metals, say two Alu parts, they are similar from corrosion perspective and you never know which one will go away first. In some case one will be eaten more than the other, sometimes equal parts, or the other way around. So if you have Alu part on a circuit I would always use Zinc to save Alu part. Magnesium is the best for fresh water. One thing to be aware of is Alu oxidation, if you don’t clean it, it will oxidate and may become ineffective. Bill, Zinc on Alu boats is an example of a mix.

Re: Aluminium anodes for Sidepower
Paul, This falls into the category of "If you look long enough, you can usually find different opinions and sometimes, even different facts. Maybe my response can be considered as falling into that category, but I am making it in the spirit of helping Amel owners. I believe this to be true: Generally speaking, Aluminum is for fresh/brackish
water
and Zinc for saltwater. And, generally speaking, you never mix aluminum and zinc in a bonding system. If you want to know for sure, I would ask Amel. The reason I would ask Amel rather than SidePower, or anyone else is that others probably don't know that the Amel bonding system is connected to the SidePower bow thruster and this may cause an issue of mixing aluminum and zinc in the same bonding circuit. That said, in the SidePower installation and user manual states that "ZINC ANODES" are to be used. Lastly, we should all be cautious about changing proven and working systems and devices, especially when we are not completely knowledgeable of the system or device and their interconnections to other systems and devices.  --

Aluminium anodes for Sidepower
Paul Dowd and Sharon Brown
Hi all,
I came across this https://www.boatzincs.com/sm201180.html where it says aluminium anodes are superior to zinc for the Sidepower thruster. Has anyone had any experience using aluminium anodes?

Re: A54 rudder removal
Danny and Yvonne SIMMS
Hi Tom, not disagreeing with Bill at all (and certainly agree with the need for flat water) but I have done both the bow thruster and the rudder packing in the water. I would consider the rudder job lower risk if there is risk. I did have it suggested to me to put the dinghy on deck on the opposite end and fill it with water. I didn't try it but I would think it would be effective. Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl
