Re: Steyr motor turbocharger complete
Danny and Yvonne SIMMS
Hi Jose, I have no knowledge of the steyer motor but my volvo D275 habitually had the wastegate sticking as did the wastegate on my volvo tmd 22. The shaft through the housing to the exterior lever gets a buildup on it that causes it to sieze. I disasembled and freed them up by mechanically moving it while adding lubricant. A slow but efective process but it always re seized. I have approached experts in Volvo and they had no solution. If you buy a new turbo the same thing will happen with the new one. I suspect there are many many siezed turbo wastegates out there but owners dont know it. I have found the answer in a product called carbo clean. This applied to the shaft rapidly disolved the build up causing the seizing. To access it i had to remove the exhaust mixing elbow. Now the initial problem is cleared I just apply it to the shaft externally. On the Volvo the shaft comes up from below so there isnt a gravity assist. If the steyer has the waste gate shaft descending you will probably get results by applying carbo clean fom the exterior. Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Hi Woody,
Thanks for the feedback. Based on that think I'll first experiment with the KISS approach and just hot spot with my iPhone. The reason I was erring towards a more complex (and expensive) setup was to ensure reception when anchored in more obscure places or sailing offshore. -- David Crisp SV Wilna Grace Amel 54 #58

Re: Super Maramu Main Mast Furling foil Sheered
The cause is very likely the jamming when furling or unfurling. Most often it is caused by the addition of vertical battens on a SM. I will send you a page from my book on the step-by-step procedure with photos. Look for it in about an hour.

Re: Generator monitoring
Stefano, You should have an Onan parts manual on your SM. The correct gauges for your model Onan will be listed in your parts manual. The gauges will not be the same for all model Onans. If you don't have a parts manual contact your local Cummins/Onan dealer with your model and serial numbers.

Steyr motor turbocharger complete
Jose Alegria
Dear colleagues My Amel has one Steyer motor 140 hp. The waste gate is stuck and the turbo specialist tell me- " no way- you need replace the all turbo ". I try contact the Steyr motors ( sales , service and office ) but no one give me any answer!.... Can you give me some ideas. My boat is at Cleopatra marina dry dock - Preveza - Greece. kindest regards José Alegria A55#003MERIT

Re: Super Maramu Main Mast Furling foil Sheered
Beaute Olivier
Hello Graham, originally, there is around 20 cm of foil left at the top, above the swivel, with the original lashings (top and tack). This means that in the foil's life, cutting off the bottom for new bolting can be done three times. You may not know if the previous owners have already cut the foil at the base (for the same cause you face now). So, with your mainsail installed, and 10cm lashing between the swivel and the sail's top, you should go up the mast and look how much length of foil there is left above the swivel's top. The cause of the bolts sheering the foil at the bottom is only using the furler (a lot!). Of course, some foils will last longer than other ones just because of the kind of use. If you handle the mainsail furler gently, the foil may last longer. Be kind with your furlers and don't overload them (when the sail is fully in the mast, don't squeeze it by over using the furler). Don't try to adjust the mainsail under load. You should drop the mainsail once a year to check the swivel (is it turning free?) as a seized swivel will add more load to the bottom bolt junction (and the motor and gear-box!!). For those who have a short foil (already cut off a few times) and who cannot cut it anymore unless the swivel comes off the foil, the next step is to have a shorter mainsail made(at the luff). Good luck and be kind with your AMEL, she will give it back to you... Olivier

Re: Super Maramu Main Mast Furling foil Sheered
In my opinion you may be able to drop the whole thing down about 10 cm or whatever the depth of the gear, if necessary you could shorten the top lashing between the sail and the top bearing. But to strengthen the foil I would try and source an internal bushing that slides snugly up the foil. This would spread the load. There is quite a lot of torque onto that foil when furling the sail all concentrated at the bottom. To simply use the foil alone may not last very long.

What material should the bushing be? If it is perfectly round then the obvious choice is aluminium, machined to fit, but it could be some kind of composite material or even in a pinch, for an at sea fix a piece of hardwood until a machine shop is found. Nick Amelia AML 54-019 Kilada Greece

Hi Graham, I would say you are fine to drill a new hole and drop the foil. As to cause I will lay odds that the bearings in rhe swivel at the top are full of salt making it hard to turn and that extra load directly contributed to that failure. Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Two things: Onan sells the instrument add-on. It is plug and play. The Onan sensors and pcb control are designed to shut down the generator before damage. Best, CW Bill Rouse Amel Owners Yacht School - www.AmelOwnersYachtSchool.com 720 Winnie St Galveston Island, TX 77550 +1(832) 380-4970

Re: Grounding for solar panels / solar arch
I’m following this topic with interest. First, the seacocks need to be bonded and protected by the sacrificial anode. I’m a new Amel owner and learning about its electrical system right now. I’m a retired electrical contractor and engineer and I will say that I’ve not been a fan of floating ground systems. However, Matt Salatino has it right... if it’s not broke.... I’m not about to change anything until I have a full understanding of the systems.

Re: Grounding for solar panels / solar arch
Mike Longcor (SV Trilogy)
Thanks guys! Glad to hear the arch and panels were set up properly. I think I'll remove the MPPT grounding to the generator and call it a day. I was unsure of making that connection in the first place. On a side note, and likely covered in a seperate topic... are all your seacocks/through hulls bonded or isolated? Some of mine look like they were connected at one point but now I find cut grounding wires in some places... no signs of corrosion but obviously I can't see the whole picture. Thanks, Mike SV Trilogy - SM23 Opua, NZ

Super Maramu Main Mast Furling foil Sheered
Graham Boyd
SM Main mast furler foil sheered at base just above the gear box (see pictures). This metal fatigue event rather spoilt our Chinese NY cruise yesterday. The actual sheer occurred when furling the sail head to wind in 15 kts of wind. Has anyone else suffered this failure? If so what was the fix? I understand from this site that the top of the foil in the mast is unsupported. This makes me wonder if there is sufficient "extra" length of foil in the mast to just drill new holes in the foil above the sheer line and drop it back into the gear box. Would the swivel then "fall off the top" of the foil when the sail is hoisted? Failing that extending the foil at the top to support the swivel with the sail up could be the answer. Any thoughts/experiences welcome! jj

Re: Amel's suggestion to run the Volvo D3-110 (A54) daily while on passage

Thanks James! I've looked into all of those things except the internals of the injection elbow. I'll definitely check that as soon as I can. I'll give the muffler a double check while I'm at it. I'll let you know if I find anything... seems like I'm swallowing more seawater than most here. Now something I overlooked earlier... at the through hull there is a little over a foot of extra wide pipe/hose. I'll attach a photo and hope it comes through. Looking up the exhaust from the outside, it appears to be totally hollow. This must be where the non-return rubber flap should be installed as referenced by Oliver and others. Does anyone have any experience in replacing this? Probably best to source this part from Amel? Although given my SM is 1990, so this specific modification might be non-Amel for me. Is it just held in place with some marine adhesive? Any advice is welcome here. Haulout is scheduled soon so it would be an ideal time to fit something. Cheers, Mike SV Trilogy - SM23 Opua, NZ
