Hanspeter, You went about it the right way and took advantage of the Amel improvement philosophy.  Instead of justifying moving batteries to the engine compartment because that's where they used to

We have 8D's in the engine room. It's actually been pretty easy to manage getting them in and out with the mizzen staysail halyard, I've used a snatch block as a fairlead of sorts. On most boats I'd

Was a stern sugar scoop a factory option on the Sharki or a laterdate individual modification? Thanks for all you feedback, I am seriously looking into buying a Sharki, so if anyone knows of someone

HI all. I own a Sharki, #80, which has a sugar scoop making her around 41 feet in length. Are there any others with a sugar scoop? Could this be the difference? Mark

Hi Gary, that motor has a lot of "meat" on the commutator and should be able to be turned on a lathe to perfect status at least once. I would get the brushes and take to motor to any good commercial

Hi for many years the Maramu has all its batteries in the engine room with no problem. Keep in mind when the alternators or the starter is running so are the exhaust fans. Regards Richard

They came out of the exact same tooling/mold. The 41' is overall length and the 39' is stem to stern. All the best, Joel F. Potter Joel F. Potter - Cruising Yacht Specialist, LLC Amel's

No differences because Sharki is only one model, 11,95 mts i.e 39ft,and if someone talk about 41 ft, is because, I suppose,it looks like bigger only for love!

Could some one tell me the diferances between the Sharki 39 and the Sharki 41' other than the lenght, I would like to know interior changes and where the 2 foot diferance is most noticeable. Thank you

On my AMEL 54 #44 I have a Side Power Bow Thruster (model #SP155TCi). It looks like my carbon brushes in the electronic motor need replacing as they have worn out. Has any one had this problem? If so,

Danny, Slim to none.  For that part of the world, we'll probably fly and rent a place for six months.  Way cheaper. Take care, Steve and Donna ________________________________ To:

Steve don't worry about installing some batteries in the engine compartment. Older SM's (I guess until # 70) had at this time only 4 service plus one starter batteries in the engine room. We had never

Great reply Joel. Your are absolutly correct with your input concerning this forum. Hanspeter SM #16 Krusadasi, Turkey ----Ursprüngliche Nachricht---- Von: svsummerlove@... Datum: 28.02.2013

Hi Steve, the boat came so equipped. We have two 24 volt blowers and one 220v blower ventilating the engine space, should deal with most of it. The gas is produced while charging and when either the

Hi Danny, My only concern with the batteries being in the engine compartment is the potential for hydrogen gas accumulation in an enclosed area with "sparky" things nearby.  Did you install any

Joel, Damn the luck.  I don't suppose anyone has one of those cool Starship Enterprise saloon lamps for sale, do they?    :-) Steve ________________________________ To:

Hi all, won't get into the discussion on battery size etc but just to say that we have our two starting batteries (one gen set, one main engine) in the engine room against the aft bulkhead strapped
