As I remember it, it is obvious...can't help you any more than this. Maybe someone else who is aboard an SM will respond.

Main Sail Outhaul and Furling Gearbox Bonfiglioli VF44P1-70 P63 B14 B3

Bill Shaproski
 

I have a Super Maramu from 1995 OO30017SM141.  The mainsail furling gearbox apparently failed and needs replacement.  The desision to remove the unit was made by my maintenance guy since I am on the west coast and the boat is on the east coast.  I ordered a new one and when it arrived it was not from Bonfiglioli and was not interchangeable.  I haven't been able to find one that could be delivered by 20 June which is when I need to have it.  Does anyone have a serviceable gearbox they want to sell or know where I could get one deliverd to Florida by 20 June?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Converting my Amel 54 to lithium batteries: what I did, what I like and what I don't like (after one year of full time live aboard use)

Lior Keydar
 

Dear Scott

First, thank you very much also from me for sharing your project. As you see, it is very interesting for so many people.
I am also thinking about replacing the batteries to lithium and would go your way.
About the electric cables, I saw that you need 2x 50 mm2 (2x plus and 2x minus). I think that both exist already. One pair for my 2500W inverter and one for the 100A Dolphin charger. They both 50mm2 (or more). The cables for the 30A are 40mm2.

- did you install the Skylla-i 80 amp just as a backup? would the 2x 40mm2 of the Dolphin 30A be enough?
- what did I not understand correct with the electric cables?

Thanks
Lior, A54 #18

I just replaced the dimmer in my like-new 1985 Mercedes.

Re: diruptors

CW Bill Rouse
 

Breakers are typically single pole or double pole and vary in amp load capability. Most of the AC breakers on your SM are double pole, switching when you are connected to EU type power, the Hot Brown wire, and the Return Blue wire. You have at least 1 double pole DC breaker for the SSB. If there is a short in a Diruptor circuit, the breaker will not reset.

In the US the AC double pole breakers are typically used to switch 2 legs of 110-115VAC. The Neutral (White) is typically not switched. If you are using US type power, the SM AC breakers will switch both US type legs of the AC power as long as you wire the US type AC shore power plug correctly.

That was an excellent meeting Bill.  Many thanks to you, Gary Golden, and Tilo for putting it on.  I liked the concept of insuring against an agreed upon value for total loss.  Using depreciated value almost always leads to lengthy battles with your insurer over what they will pay for.  Looking forward to what Gary comes back to the group with regarding Amel Group insuring options.
Regards,
Dave

In 1987, Gary Golden co-founded International Marine Insurance Services (IMIS) and that marine insurance brokerage became so successful over the ensuing 29 years that his time was fully occupied with executive management of the agency. Gary recently turned the management of IMIS over to another firm and founded Manifest Marine.

Gary will speak of recent changes in the marine insurance business and how it impacts you. He will answer your questions.
