Re: Furler motor to gearbox sm2000
Thanks Mike. I think you may have been able to explain what caused the problem. I know it's been installed for 20years in my case. Upon removing the gearbox and motor to inspect, I found that it was in good order being in the original condition. Cover over the motor still had the original silicone.

I may have a engineering workaround to repair the shaft for a spare.

Re: Installing a diesel heater
Hi Paul,
the M12 is installed in my boat but it is a older one, the control units now more different. I have a switch on/off close to the Generator switch in the galley and a temp regulation in all places as also a switch close to the vans at the heat exchangers. I have them marked in the pictures.

Hello is there a list of all disruptors installed on Amel 54 (by ref and spec)? I understand there are different references (either unipolar / bipolar). Need to source a replacement for 7122104 10D (72vdc,400vac), not provided by sav Amel. Wondering how many of those are fitted onboard. Thanks S GARULFO A54-122 Moorea, French Polynesia

Re: Furler motor to gearbox sm2000
Ken Powers SV Aquarius
I would have to agree with Bill,
To fix you furler it will probably take a new motor, and maybe a new gearbox. I would rebuild the old gear box and carry it as a spare. I carry a new spare motor, and a spare rebuilt gear box, ready to go in case of a problem. Someone mentioned that the new motors are a different diameter, and I found this out as well. I built up the diameter of the the motor where it attaches to the cover attachment with some good tape. Just about 3 to 4 times around the motor with some good tape and the cover attachment piece fit snugly on the motor. It was in one of my videos about the Main Sail of a Super Maramu.

Re: Furler motor to gearbox sm2000
I have experienced exactly the same shaft sharing on both the outhaul Leroy summer motor as well as the furling motor. Clean brakes both. My sense is that with a very very slight misalignment of the gearbox to the motor shaft that overtime stresses eventually weaken the shaft and then an incident of shock load from operating The motor shears the shaft.

There is no way that I know of to repair that shaft. I suggest that you contact SAV"at"Amel.fr Send them a photo along with your Request For Quote. Bill

Re: Cleaning fresh water tank on my SM2K
I confirm, chlorine is not friendly with inox, specifically with 304 type. Some recommendations (temp, time and kind of inox) from dairy industry
De : main@AmelYachtOwners.groups.io [mailto:main@AmelYachtOwners.groups.io] De la part de James Alton via groups.io
Dave and All,
I wanted to add a caution and mention that Chlorine can apparently cause corrosion issues with stainless. Since our stainless keel bolts, nuts and washers are located in the bottom of our water tanks, I am pretty leery about putting a bleach solution, especially a strong one in my water tank. The soft scrub that I used did contain bleach but was rinsed away as the tank was cleaned to reduce the exposure. If anyone with a more expert knowledge of the corrosion risks from using Chlorine in our tanks could comment, that would be helpful I think.

Re: Cleaning fresh water tank on my SM2K
Matt & Michelle Day
Clorine can damage stainless with long duration exposure. The duration depends on penetration of the passivation layer of the SS. Once the passivation layer is oxidized, the clorine will pit the SS and increase the risk of stress corrosion cracking.
At the concentration and duration that the group is discussing...we are talking about years to have a detrimental effect. If one is concerned, you can always re-passivate with citric acid and restart the clock. Just my two cents.

Good morning all! I tried cleaning my fresh water tank using Bill’s alternate method (fill with bleach solution, let sit for 48 hours, drain, flush, etc.) and did not get the desired results. The attached photo shows what I am dealing with. Seems to be a couple varieties of mold that was not killed off by the bleach solution. Now that I am opening up all three access ports I want to clean it with something that works, but doesn’t poison my whole family 😳. What have some of you used for cleaning? Detroit, Michigan

Re: Bow Thruster Amel 54
Hi Rudi, yes, you need to decouple the lower unit from the motor. In my experience, this will be difficult if it has not been decoupled in a few years. It will very likely require some heavy-duty mechanical pullers. It is likely that you will need to replace the soft coupling when doing this job. There is an Amel procedure for decoupling the SidePower Bow Truster, but it is not very complete and probably will not help much. There is a SidePower publication as well. I wrote a procedure including some photos I took, my personal experience in doing this job, SidePower's information and the Amel procedure. It is in my Amel Book. However, you should be able to do this without my book, if you use the Amel procedure: (https://amelyachtowners.groups.io/g/main/files/Bow%20Thruster%20maintenance%20A54/A54_Bowthruster%20flex%20coupling%20replacement.pdf). If it is stuck, like I believe you will find, you will likely need the help of a machine shop and mechanical pullers. Bill

Hi Doug, - your post is great and helpful information. Thank you! I have a question for the Group; - how can I change the seals of the Sidepower-BT? Do I need to dismount the complete device to replace the Donut foam seals at the bottom? Does anyone have a handbook how to proceed to change the seals including the lip-seals?
