I looks at Papa II . Waste of space. Junk! Jpg Eleuthera SM 007

I spoke several times to the guy who bought it and later crashed it and tore the keel off. He called me and asked me for my opinion about the boat before he handed over his dough. Even though the boat

Hi Jim. I have to agree with Bill on this one. Had the same thing happen on a client’s boat I had up for sale. He hit something hard with the thruster down and the prop came off. Tried to retract

Wow! I know Pappa II and this is what I had to say about it to this Group in July 2015: "Lady Divina" hull #317 was the SM that was destroyed by hurricane Ivan in Grenada, then brought to Venezuela.

Tom, I have fairly new Raymarine equipment and I think only one is damaged. Up until now all the tens of thousands I have paid in insurance premiums ,I have always looked at as a waste of money,

Bill, I am betting that your post will get misunderstood by a few people reading this forum. Bill Rouse BeBe Amel 53 #387 Sent from my tablet +1832-380-4970 USA Voice Mail On Jun 26, 2016 2:56 PM,

Jim, Possibly the bow thruster hit some object in the water while extended, deforming the tube. You can replace just the tube, if Amel has that part and possibly there is an owner who replaced the

Thank you Mark. In the absence of statistics, one must sometimes go by anecdotal evidence. We have seen Bill's adverse experience with Varta, for example. From mid-2011 to early spring 2015, our boat

Jim, The outer shaft is composite, carbon fibre I think. Check that your limit switches are aligned properly with the motor. After my last bow thruster service I couldn't get the thruster to

Out of curiosity I looked it up on the USCG site and there is a vessel documented with the name "Yashar". The previous name is Papa II with the hull number 317, so unless there are two SM's named

Paul, I will try tonight. s/v Phantom Amel 54 #044 On Sunday, June 26, 2016 7:15 PM, "sharongbrown@... [amelyachtowners]" wrote: Jamie, it took me a while to figure

Jim, How about simply taking a set of calipers and comparing the shaft OD at various locations and orientations? Isn't the tube composite? If so and a clamping force (such as a hose clamp) has

Hi All, Is this the SM 317 you are speaking of? It was just listed on Yachtworld. 2001 Amel Super Maramu Sail Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com 2001 Amel Super Maramu Sail

Wow! That's impressive, Bill. As Capn Amel says "Respect de la Batterie"...or something like that. Kent

That is strange…. Could your Rigging be at fault? Gary Silver wrote how to re-rig it, it is in my plan to illustrate what he kindly wrote, but I haven’t had the time yet… Or as you say, the

We often don’t realize what we deal with… I didn’t know about the battery, but I remember when I had the Bauer Junior 2 Scuba compressor fully serviced last year, the repair guy told me this is

We have been using Mastervolt AGM Batteries. 4 each of the 4D size. We always run the boat off the house bank and only charge when the bank is less than 70% full. This is so that the battery chemistry

Jamie, it took me a while to figure out how to upload a phote - here's what I did: in the photos page create a new album, then upload your photo, then click the Post button. Alternatively, go to the

Jose, thanks, but it looks like the photo you have is the 24v alternator, what I need is the 12v one. Cheers, Paul

Jim, If I was in your spot, before trying more dramatic fixes, I would take a bit of 1200 grit emory paper and throughly polish the shaft at the spot where it hangs up. With grit that fine it would
