Hi Gerhard, We've not tried the extra shackle method, although it sounds good. The only kerfuffle I see might be leveling the boat onto the jack stands or cradle, as it will be leaning to one side,

Spreader beams are only helpful if the spreader beams are located high enough to be above the masts. I would recommend spreader beams wide enough to attach to the outside of the guardrail and wide

Gary, My problem was that the brake would not hold the disk. I also changed the brake pads. Yes the fluid is in the end closest to the brake pads. The spring should be dry. The O rings are off the

Ian, We had our SM in Brunswick Landing marina summer before last. It was a good hurricane hole, and they have not had a hurricane there for a very long time. They do have a small yard that could

Hi regarding lifting on the AMEL plates. If the lift people have a spreader beams as wide or wider then your beam that is a better solution. The boat is lifted straight up on long cable/ straps. It's

Gerhard, We did this one time while loading onto the deck of a cargo ship in 2011. We had to either disconnect the Tradic Stay between the mizzen and Main Mast, or find a solution so that the cables

Arghh, spellcheck!!! KAVALLI House is the operator of hole 3 in Stocking Island, George Town, Exuma. Ian Townsend SM 153 Loca Lola II

Check out hole 3 in Georgetown, Exuma. Contact Bob Cronin at aka allis House. I would stay there if my insurance company would cooperate. There are a couple of yards in Long Island for haul out,

Thankyou just what I want to know about Igo and Predict Wind Paul SY KERPA SM 259

He Gerhard the cables were longer than the main mast there's otherwise problems connecting to the main mast and mizzen mast is the cables are led outside the guard rail. Elja

Hi Elja, Thanks for your response and the pictures. Do you also happen to have a picture showing where the crane hook is and the lifting cable starts? Or do you know how long the cables are that

I think that you have to take in rgard what your insurance company has to tell about beeing in the hurricane zone. Our swedish insurance company has very strikt rules. I don't have them infront of me

He Gerhard We do it this way look by the fotos . I think a longer cabel is better becaus you have no trubble with the mast Where you are in greece? Nice day Elja Sy Balu SM222 Greece

Hi all, I am planning to get hauled out with a mobile crane using the Amel lifting plates. The Amel instruction book recommends a minimum of 6m straps and an extra shackle for the straps on the

Eric: Ah Ha! Found it. It looks like all the seals/o-rings are on the plunger end and that there is no seal on the end cap where the adjusting bolt goes. In fact, based on that diagram, there

Gary, Scroll down there should be an exploded cross section of the actuator. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi Eric: I did receive the picture of the actuator and found that it is the same as the one posted in the photos section. I was hoping perhaps for a mechanical exploded diagram or parts list etc.

Gary, The only thing I had to replace on the actuator was the spring which Amel had in stock. I think you just need an “O” ring. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Gary, I sent the drawing as an additional attachment to you with this email. Please let me know if you received it. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376 Sent: Friday, April 22,

Gary, I believe the capacitor on mine is 12.5 mfd. 10mfd is probably what an old 12.5 mfd capacitor would read after 15 years. I took a regular 12.5 mfd capacitor and mounted it with zip ties to
