Re: genoa sheet track end cap/pulley block

Mike Longcor (SV Trilogy)
 

Hi John,

I think our genoa track set ups are similar but perhaps yours has been modified or repaired here? I haven't taken on this project yet but it's on my list. Looking at mine, it looks like a regular bolt comes down from the top. Did yours have a nut at the top of that stud?

I'll be taking a closer look at mine soon and will let you know what I find.

Following some earlier posts about bolts inside the hull I felt around under the deck and can feel the ends of the T-track bolts and what I think is the same end of the pulley-block bolt.  Not nuts in there only the bolt ends leading me to believe the bolt is threaded on both sides and will back out.  I double nutted the top and tried to break it free to no avail. 

Anyone have insight on how to detach this block?

Re: New Owners - 1996 SM #180

Mike Longcor (SV Trilogy)
 

Congrats Jer!

We replaced our old galley fridge last year with an Isotherm CR130EL sourced from Marine Warehouse (we were in Panama at the time but I think they are Florida based). It was a good fit and most models are 12/24V and can switch to A.C. power (120/240V 50/60Hz) when on generator or shore power. We reused the mounting gear from the old Electrolux fridge without too much hassle.

For the under seat fridge/freezer, it's usually the electronic control unit or the cooling fan that cause problems. Finding a replacement for the control unit can be tricky and expensive. While we were in USA, we found a 24V replacement online from Coastal Climate Control for $285 (part# E254424). It has been working great for over 2 years now. For cooling fans, you can use pretty much any low amp computer cooling fan that's 24V. We are using one now by Yate Loon that's 2400rpm 0.3A 90CFM 43dBA but there are lots of options out there. We took out the old fan/motor and used strong mounting Velcro to mount the new fan to the horizontal crossbar. The compressor, condenser, evaporator, thermostat, etc were all in fine working order for us. The compressor is especially robust but I would check the electrical resistance/continuity of the pins (sorry I can't find the procedure/values at the moment). Also you might want to have the refrigerant system checked (charged and not leaking) before replacing components.

If your toilets are Raritan PHII, I think those are great toilets, despite being manual. There are kits available to rebuild them like new. I haven't had any issues with mine and only replaced a couple o-rings and seals. Might be worthwhile to try before going electric/macerator.

Hope this helps!

My Wife and I have purchased SM#180 (Anni Bea True).

She's a project boat for sure, and has almost all original systems except for an Yanmar engine upgrade (similar to the one on Cerulean my Maramu #105.).

Having been a Amel Maramu owner for the past 8+ years, I'm quickly learning the differences between 'Super' and 'OG' Maramu models. As well as the nuances of each boat for the first time - which is very exciting!!!

We've already had a heck of a time upgrading all the electronics with:

- Dumping the old green CRT Furuno with a Halo Radar unit
- All new Tritons in cockpit
- Working depth transducer (went out every 10-15minutes intermittently)
- New Olympic 135 Compass
(yes, believe it or not she had a non functioning and zero oil Olympic 135)
- Replacing old sonic speed indicator
- Side Scan sonar install
- Replacing running rigging (90% chafed halyards, improperly rigged travelers and almost every other line you can think of was worn and showing signs of fatigue) we even blew out the old Bosuns chair safety line when putting new wind wand on mast!

There is much more to even mention, but will wait for later posts to address and mention.

Status: Been heading down east coast of US over past 2 weeks offshore (purchased in Annapolis and now in Ft Lauderdale) and planning to transit the canal in the next month on our way back to Marina Del Rey (our home) via MX.

Just wanted to reintroduce myself and looking forward to working through the many issues we encounter with you all and learn from the amazing collective wisdom of the group.

*Any recos on 24v suppliers or people to help while we are in FL!?
- Toilets are original 1996/1997 and looking to upgrade to self macerating prob.

Re: Reefing and sail-handling on conventionally rigged Maramu, versus electric furling?

David Wallace
 

Paul,

Our 1982 Maramu did not have a reefing line or the halyard led to the cockpit. There were winches on the main mast for the halyard and for the reefing lines.

We also wanted the safety of managing all the sails from the cockpit so installed a Profurl furling boom and led the two lines to an electric winch mounted in the cockpit just to stbd of the companionway. The furling boom also gives you the added advantage of being to furl the main up to about 45 degrees off the wind since the sail goes up in a foil offset from the main: the foil is mounted on pins that are secured in the original mast sail track, and they are free to rotate. We had to drill holes through the cockpit base for the hard dodger to lead the lines through. Do that carefully, there’s a cable way full of wires in there!

Good luck in your search,

Hello Brain Trust,

We are in the market for a Maramu or Santorin within striking distance of the US East Coast. I have been focused on 1985 or later vessels with electric furling main and genoa, as ease of reefing and sail-handling from the cockpit is very important to us. However, there are currently no boats with electric furling for sale near the East Coast, and I am now wondering about looking at earlier, conventionally rigged boats. My question for pre-1985 Maramu owners is: are the main halyard and reefing lines normally led back to the cockpit -- was the boat set up this way by the factory? Is it possible to hoist and reef the main and mizzen without leaving the cockpit? If this was not the original set-up, have owners modified their running rigging to make this possible? Finally, how do owners think about the value of electric furling on a Maramu versus conventional set-up? My inclination is to wait for a later boat with electric furling to come on the market, but I may be prioritizing this too much. I will appreciate you input and experience!

Many thanks,

Hi Jer,

 

Have you considered going to Martinique for the upgrades?  It might be worth the time.  In Le Marin, the Amel people can fix anything quickly and well.  The refrigerator and related are all available and readily installed by someone who has done the same thing many times.

 

Whatever you do, enjoy your new boat.

Re: Insurance in Europe

Hello Mark,

 

Congratulations on your new boat.  If you are going to stay in Europe for a few years, I suggest that you look into Pantaenius in Europe.  They are an different company and will not insure an American boat in American waters.  I had them for 8 years and found them to be excellent.  They change less than any US company, have lower delectable, and more coverage.  One reason that they can have such inexpensive liability is the exclusion of US waters and US litigation.

If you want to replace them because they’re stuck and closed soap them in a bottle of Coca-Cola for 24 hours then hold them and hit the moving in on top with a hammer and it should come free after a couple of hard blows

Replacement windscreens

Paul Dowd and Sharon Brown
 

I had new wind screens made at Driftwood in Clarks Court Bay, Grenada – photo attached. The quality seems very good and they fit perfectly. They are slightly darker than the originals. They di initially quote me USD480 for the pair, but then said it took a lot longer to make them and the cost increased to 895, but in the end a compromise was made at 620.

We looked into Boat US / Geico and Yachtinsure but their policy is NOT an "all risk". There was als a requirement for a US address for a foreign (none US) flagged vessel.
We decided to go with Y Yacht Insurance originally in the UK but for Brexit they opened up a European office in France.
Hurricane season is 1st June to 1st November and we have to be north of 36°N, e.g.: Chesapeake.
