Bill,
Well done finding the replacement batteries. Strangely Varta UK stated that that particular battery configuration was manufactured by Delphi and that Varta did not continue production when they took over. Hey ho, I must have been speaking to the wrong people!

I have to say that I believe you can find anything for a yacht or probably a ship if you are in Piraeus, my experience has been absolutely second to non when I have been there.

I just added the Varta Battery cut sheet with specifications to the Photo Section in a new album titled "Batteries."

You should be able to follow this link to the specifications page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amelyachtowners/photos/album/701052503/pic/1634801095/view?picmode=original&mode=tn&order=ordinal&start=1&dir=asc

The A25 is the exact replacement for the Delphi Freedom battery installed by Amel.

Hi Lorenzo,
If it is of any help to you the Delphi batteries were
manufactured under license in the EU by Varta and marketed by Numax and Vetus under their own brands. They are no
longer made by Varta.
Â
Here in the UK Numax stock a similar battey: XV31MF Terminal 1 DT  which I think has both
taper and screw terminals but you would need to check if they are suitable as the terminal layout on out Delphi
batteries on our Sharki are Type 2. I think I will be able to re-drill the copper connecting bar to fit and use these
batteries when our existing ones fail.

Having had to search for large group 31 batteries in Europe I know how hard
it is to find them. The best is to visit a store like perhaps a Giant or large automotive truck supply house. These are
big batteries with a weight of 30 kg each. DO NOT GET SMALLER BATTERIES. best may be to have a store order a full set

Salve Lorenzo,

le batterie ho trovate in Italia a Sarzana, al Punto Diesel, un deposito batterie e altro.
Per acquistarle direttamente occorre la partita Iva, altrimenti pu andare a vederle e poi farle ordinare da un elettrauto o da un cantiere navale.
Nel 2009 ne ho acquistate 4 autentiche USA, ma si trovano anche quelle prodotte in Europa con le stesse dimensioni, lo stesso tipo di poli e lo stesso amperaggio, costano un po' meno e durano meno.

Se ha bisogno di altre informazioni, ci scriva in italiano o ci chiami al 3337842624, abbiamo acquistato l'Arca nel 1998 e l'abbiamo completamente rimodernata in Italia secondo la filosofia Amel.

Buona ricerca!

The outhaul gearboxes are industrial qulity and designed to run continuously. In use for outhauling they only run for perhaps five minutes a day.The only part likely to wear is the bronze drive gear wheel and this is available from Amel for 200 euros plus carriage. When mine were stripped down after ten years use the wheel on the in-mast furling was perfect but the outhaul one was pretty badly worn apparently because it had been fitted the wrong way round originally thus putting the wear off centre.
Varta batteries are made in Germany and of high quality, many other brands come from the Far East and may not be so good. I believe that Winner is made in Taiwan. Fittings are readily available to convert battery posts to bolt on type.

Anne and John, Bali Hai, SM319

Yesterday I bought 13 of the Varta 105 amp/hr (A25) batteries. I was told that Varta (very good brand in EU) purchased the French Delphi plant about 2006 and another company bought the Delphi brand name...not sure if this is correct, but it is what I was told.

The Varta 105 amp/hr (A25) has exactly the same case and dimensions as the Delphi Freedom battery installed by Amel on our 2003 Super Maramu. Everything fits perfectly including the copper connection straps.

The gearbox is available. Pricing is $521 ea. FCA Charleston, SC and

The product would be available from the factory in France in 4 weeks if you

Bill,

This is the alternator division of Emerson electric that handles Leroy
Somer.

When I called the number they said that they do not handle the

gearboxes.

Do you have any other info?

Hi,

I called the phone number and they have no info on the gearbox.

Would you please email me your correspondence with them.

Eric and all,

The Leroy Somer gear reduction gearbox is part number 102014. It can

be

ordered from Leroy Somer at the US phone 731-967-3000. I got this
information from gears-usa"at"leroy-somer.com. They told me via email

that

it was available.

I have not called the number for a price because I am in Greece now.

Let

me

know if this works out for you.

Best,

Bill

It seems like quite a few people are tackling the problems servicing

their

outhaul gearboxes. I happened to notice the other day that the top

lip

seal

was shot on mine and started on a two day project to disassemble the
gearbox.

I tried just about everything to get the inner shaft removed, except
"getting medieval with a sledge hammer" as one of the other owners
demonstrated. After bending several 8mm steel brackets and breaking

my

puller tool, we finally succeeded with a 20mm thick steal bracket

that

was

fabricated for the purpose. The nice thing about the approach that

finally

succeeded for us was that all the force was placed on the outer

shaft of

the

gearbox, none on the boom or the other components of the gearbox.

I'll

post

a picture when I have a chance.

I found the model information posted by one of the other owners

here:

Manufacturer: LS Leroy Somer
Made in France
6015 Angoulene
Reducteur N 0256889
Type MVA M33C
Rduction 1/60

I have not been able to reach Leroy Somer via their contact page.

Can

anyone

recommend a reliable and inexpensive source to order the gearbox or

parts

from? Any pricing info?

One other question: it seems that the outhaul gearbox causes more

problems

than the main sail furling gearbox. Is that right? Is the latter

just

less

exposed to the elements?

thanks, Mark

Try looking for a group 31 truck battery,

Here in the USA it is a common exact replacement

Thanks Mike. I guess the Amel drive must be pretty bullet proof. I now have a ss wearing ring but will keep it0for a spare and go with the majority opinion and use bronze. Just hoping the new seals will last longer than a few months this time. It was odd finding no springs in the seals as I know they were there at installation. Can only guess they were NOT ss and rusted completely away when water intruded.
Steady as she goes.
