Jeff, Before we can help we either need to know what model Xantrex charger you have, or a guide as to what those various settings are. Bill Kinney SM #160, Harmonie On the Hard, Fort Lauderdale,

Good Morning Amelians, I just replaced my battery bank (12), and want to reset the xantrex monitoring system. I am charging the battery bank for the first time after some moderate discharging

Peter Pappas here Supermamu2000 #369. I am looking to purchase spares for the Genoa Furling Motor, the Main Furling Motor, and the Main Out Haul motor. Are these all the same motor or do I need to

Donato, The rudder is made of two halves so some evidence of a seam may be normal. Again the Amel rudder is new to me so if an expert like Oliver responds I would be listening to him. Have you

Thanks for the great help. We will post later some pics, but we are unable to evaluate how deep is the crack because it runs vertically along the shaft near the skeg face. So it's quite difficult to

I had the rudder down on our Maramu last spring due to cracks & poor repairs done when the one of the previous owners replaced or repaired the rudder shaft following a hard rounding (pure guess work

Hello Bill & al, We did something different; we installed a second independent “sea chest” serving the needs of AC, genset and Dessalator. As our new AC is Webasto, it needed significantly more

Hello Donato, removing the rudder blade is not a quick and easy job... Before telling you how to do it, I would like to know what is the extent of the cracks. Did you hit something or came aground? A

Donato, I am sure that someone will be back to you soon on how to remove your rudder. I thought that I would direct you to the File section of this Owners group where under “Amel Drawings”

Bill from BeBe has posted some very helpful information about the raw water manifold in newer model SM's. For those of us with older boats, the arrangement is quite different, and in most ways a lot

Many thanks Joel for the precious and comforting information. Still waiting some kind sailor who can give us suggestions for rudder dismantling. Thanks Donato Inviato da iPhone Il giorno 19 nov

Thanks for this info. Same happened to me when I slipped my Santorin. Unfortunately we thought it must have hit a brick and so dried it out and glassed it up!! Guess we now need to slip again and

No, the rudder is designed to be full of water to add a dampening effect. It is normal for it to pee like a cow on a flat rock. If it does not, you might have a problem. Make sure the exit hole is

Good day. We put the sm2000 on the hard and found on hauling the boat out large quantity of water flowing from the hole on bottom of the rudder. Shouldn't be a cap on the hole ? Secondly we must

Alan, Many thanks for the details on the running backs setup. I was curious if they had used the mizzen chainplate or had added a point further forward. Best, James Sueno, Maramu #220

The dyneema stays run from the top spreader on the main mast to a block which is about 50cm off the deck when hanging straight down. At the mizzen chain plate there's a block with a becket. Tied to

Alan, It must be really nice to have a well shaped headsail for winds up into the 30 plus knot range available. I guess it would not be too hard to change the staysail for a storm jib when needed

No James, I don't recall, sorry Alan Elyse SM437

The staysail is actually quite small, we have had it unreefed in 30 knots plus, and two reefs hove to in 50+. Like all roller furling sails it does not have a good shape when reefed, too much belly in

Alan, I just saw your Maxsea photo of the 90 degree tacks..those looks pretty close to square to me. Do you by chance recall which way the current at the time was running? Best, James Alton SV
