Re: Lubrication of the Mechanism That Drives The Main Sail Furling Unit
Hi JP, I think you are referring to the Bonfiglioli Gearbox. If not, are you saying that tapping a grease nipple into the mainsail MANUAL furler is acceptable? This is the one installed above the Bonfiglioli gearbox and mating with the mainsail extrusion. Regards Bill Shaproski

In order to grease the gearboxes, you must install grease nipples

eRe: sm 53 vs 54
My wife and I were faced with a fairly similar decision when we were weighing the money vs. size vs. age vs. condition of a Maramu and a Mango and a Super Maramu.
Between the three there was over $100k difference in pricing so we just studied and studied and visited and made estimates of refit and operating costs and it seemed to never get any simpler. Finally we decided on the super Maramu and I can truly say I think we made the right call. Each if the boats had it's merits and detractors but after our first year in the SM it became apparent that we did the best ~for us~. I totally agree with all the posters who say that it's be hard to give up this boat for another, regardless up up/down scale and comparative factors because we are so heavily invested in having learned, tweaked, adjusted and discovered all the ups and downs of the boat we have. My only comparison has been to sit and share time 54 owners. Of course it's natural to compare notes and that's pretty much the end of objectivity right there. One 54 owner Bates the flush-top deck lockers lockers because they leak. Mine are raised and don't leak .. but the reason they went to flush is because you can trip on them. I love out handhold-to-handhold movement below deck. On another (older) SM my wife nearly took a fall on the companionway reaching for an expected handhold that hadn't been invented yet on that boat. The 54's hard top is a great advantage .. unless you like flipping the canvas down for the air. And yes, I'd love the extra speed, extra foresail, different stateroom layout and newer gadgetry on a 54, but I'm also really happy with what I am familiar with; and from what I hear, a smidge less.comexity and easier access to some mechanicals on the SM. It's just got to come down to your evaluation of wants and needs. I've done a fair amount of single handing on a Super Maramu and it's easy enough. The 54 I conceptually the same so I can't see how it's be any different. Crew accommodation is excellent on both, maybe the 54 has an edge with more hatches when it's miserably calm somewhere, but then .. more chances for leaky gaskets. You see what I'm driving at :) Hope you have a great "hunt" and eventually find the "one" that fits best. Gary W SM 209, Adagio Deltaville, VA USA

Re: Lubrication of the Mechanism That Drives The Main Sail Furling Unit
Hi Ken and Iris, Thanks for the clarification. It's helpful. Also, I note that Ken from Aquarius recommended grease to lubricate the furler, but you are recommending oil. Is the choice a matter of preference or what? Thanks again for your help. Regards Bill Shaproski

Re: Bamar EJF Furler
Are you referring to your Genoa furler or your main sail furler? If it's the main sail furler, is it the outhaul motor/gearbox that stops or the furler motor/gearbox that stops? If it's the main sail furler, were you able to get it back by manually cranking it in? I suspect you're referring to the Genoa furler, but just wanted to confirm. Regards.

Re: Boar speed om Amel SM200
I have a 1995 SM and changed out the B&G instruments for Raymarine instruments. Relatively straightforward replacement except for running the wiring to the mast head for the wind instrument. The wires for all instruments, run in a completely accessible channel on the starboard side at the ceiling intersection. Regards Bill Shaproski S/V Pacific Cool 206-375-2787

Re: Cruise and Max RPM
#solution
I have a 1995 Amel SM with a TMD22A and a MaxProp. I used a max cruising speed of 2,000 RPM when doing my circumnavigation, but usually tried to keep it at 1800RPM. I have cruised at 2600 RPM plus in an emergency for about 30 minutes, but the engine did get very hot. Hope this helps. I arrived at the 2,000RPM number by listening to the prior owner's advice.

Kent, we are using the same h6 was setted up by amel for the previuos TMD22 without modification. I discussed for a while with the Autoprop dealer for the defintion of the 2,3 gearbox ratio becouse I thought in the beginning to use the same gearbox ratio of the other yanmar 100 cv installed on the SM . But this new version ( 110cv) run at maximum only at 3200 rpm instead of the 3800 rpm so we needed a smaller ratio. The engine at its maxum reach all the 3200 rpm . Indeed the boat runs to above 9,2 Knots but she goes above her critical velocity that with the usual formula is 8,7 knots . From what my brother is describing to me ( I leave in Milan ) there are not vibration and the engine is very silent .

Re: Slap Silencer
I use a small knot in the end of a rope that will go through the hole in the centre fairly easily and then I put a hosek on it and it blows the knot through in about 2 seconds flat. (Assumes the noodles have a hole up the centre, all the ones I’ve seen do.

Hi Jamie, We have used this over the past 5 years. We were for 2 years in Port Corbieres, Marseille and then wintered 3 years in Marina de Ragusa, Sicily. The Slap Silencer has 4 simple cords for easy attachment to the stern side upright rails, does get growth of algae which cleans off easily.This is available online. US product “www.slapsilencer.com” I would recommend this if you are in a marina for a week or more. We pack it away after fresh water wash and dry in supplied bag under our master bunk. You will see that the Slap Silencer is more than a piece of canvas. We have not needed it whilst we have been at anchor here for the past few months as we are always pointing into the breeze and small waves coming off shore.
Very Best

Re: Boar speed om Amel SM200
There is not a simple answer to your question, but there are answers. There are 3 general choices and several more that will work: 1.) Replace the sonic speed SOW sensors. Several owners have indeed bought new sensors recently 2.) Add a B&G-compatible paddlewheel through-hull transducer for speed (SOW) 3. Add a SOG to SOW NEMA 0183 converter and everything works fine, except you cannot calculate "set & drift," but unless you plan to rac your SM, you will not need to know these.

dears, the TMD22 with the mechanical gearbox (2,8 reduction factor) and the autoprop h6 was probably never reached in our 20 years of SM more than 2500 2600 rpm , The TMD22 engine characteristic curve show that the 78 hp ( the max power) is obtained at 3500 - 4200 rpm but at 2500 the curve show 40 hp and the boat has never reached more than 7.5 knots Now we have moved to the yanmar 110 cv, the new version of the yanmar 100) with gearbox with 2.3 rduction factor (midway betwenn the 1.97 of amel 54 with 110 volvo and 2.8 of the yanmar 100 ) that is the new version of the well known Yanmar 100 cv installed by Amel after the TMD22. In Italy due to a severe restrictions of omologation certificate we had also to afford the cost of new homologation certificate but we hare happy with this change . indeed the boat seems to go much better, it has a cruise speed of 8,5 at 2300 rpm over 3200rpm ( max engine regime) and also in the manoeuvres she is more prompt than before . cheers and good wind . marco mancini SM 304

Re: New Thread on A54 fridge pumps (ATTN: OLIVER Vela Nautica)
Scott/Jamie,
I wonder if you could please do me a huge favour, and measure the voltages at pins 1 through 8 on the blue E51385 pump controller with the pump operating and also when the pump is not operating (you may have to temporarily turn up the temps on your fridges to make the compressors turn the pump off). So that's 16 DC voltage measurements in total, 8 with pump operating and 8 with pump not operating. Fix the black multimeter probe on pin 9 (Negative) and measure the other 8 pins with the red probe. (note pins are numbered Left to right on the blue box). I need this data to confirm my understanding of the circuit operation. many thanks Dean Gillies SY Stella
