Kent, Sorry to hear abut your injury. As our boats and bodies age , they both require repairs. Boats are just more expensive . Diane and I wish you a speedy and full recovery . May I suggest , that

I looked in the files section and pictures section but did not have any luck... Can anyone provide a description of the parts needed to rebuild the jib furler gearbox. I have had successful experience

Sorry that should be TOP LEFT CORNER .... Cheers Alan

Eric, If you look at the photos that Neils uploaded, the relay is in the top right corner of one of the photos. Its mounted on the engine just above the alternator and it controls the alarm

Bill, To what relay is this thread referring ? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Masha Danki for your well wishes, and to Derick for your kind offer. Kristy is at the Curaçao Yacht Club and will be in good hands when I fly home in a couple weeks to see my eye doc and visit the

Did all of the screws shear? I once had this problem. It was caused by two of the screws working out. The last one (or two) then sheared off. I used lots of lock-tight when I replaced the screws

Ben, Yes about 50...that is the standard SM alternator. The option was for a 175 amp. Bill BeBe 387 On Sun, Jul 17, 2016 at 10:43 PM, Ben Driver/YAHOO joedoakes66@... [amelyachtowners]

I'm not sure of my capacity but much less than 174 Amp. I'm guessing maybe 50 Ben Driver La Bella Vita SM #347 On Jul 17, 2016, at 1:10 PM, 'Bill & Judy Rouse' yahoogroups@... [amelyachtowners]

Bill based on your discretion the worm gear bearing/ bushing is worn allowing it to run free. Normally it's a self locking system. Regards Capt Richard Piller On Jul 17, 2016, at 11:08, 'Bill & Judy

Kent, Sorry to hear about the detached retina. Let you friends here know if there is something we can do to help. Brava is on the hard for hurricane season, so I am at loose ends in Massachusetts,

Yes, Ben. I have been emailing Neils directly with photos, but determined that it is an Amel installed standard 24VDC house battery alternator. Every SM 24VDC alternator I have seen has the optional

Neils I looked closely at picture you posted . I have exactly same alternator. No manufacturers' name is on it. just CE Label. Check closely those small wire connections . Ben Driver La Bella

That this makes perfect sense. I am going to disable the gearbox and rebuild. Rivets absolutely need replacement but I can confirm this is not the issue because as Kent pointed out I was easily able

Gearbox needs disassembly, inspection and probable overhaul. And Genoa halyard may not be tight enough and/or forestay may not be tight enough. Bill BeBe

“Foil wobbles while rolling in…” Is the tension on your headstay high enough? Furling while the headstay has a larger than normal sag to leeward will heavily load up the mechanism and could be

Hi Bill. If you can furl manually with a line, the rivets are intact. If the pin is engaged, but the motor doesn't turn the foil, you must have a failure in the gear box. If it is "wobbly", that

Okay, so I looked at it further and it looks like it is working. It is wobbly as all hell but the bolts have not sheared off. The furling motor is fine. The rivets do look a little loose but I am at a
