Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Replace shackle on main outhaul car SM 2003

Hi gang, For what it is worth, I have removed many shackles and replaced them with Dyneema soft shackles. The noise is reduced and it feels like tacks are softer… maybe just my delusional self! GL

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Replace shackle on main outhaul car SM 2003

Nice, Alex! If (when) I have to do this, I will look again. So it looks like you could change the shackle without removing the car from the track? Thanks for all the nice pictured instructions!

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Top Ten for why the electric motor won't work?

Thanks for the reply Kent. I'll check the start solenoid, is it attached to the motor in view or was it in a box attached to the motor? Yep, the 24V breaker on the engine room fwd blkhd was on. Duane

That's a start solenoid on my 24v60 (not duo). Try tapping on it with a wrench. It may start. I replaced mine with a new one I got online. I don't remember where but as I remember it was easy to
