Hi Pat, I wont tell Kent about the stowaway. If you take off the three windless days the miles covered in the other 14 days easily tops 200. Not many classes can match that. A big part of it is the

Yes Alan, not an Amel set up, a previous owner put them in. I like it. More room for house bank, shorter cable run to the starters and starter battery redundancy. All good Regards Danny

Dang!!! Our flight leaves on the 31st :(. We are just across the Bay in Deale (sans boat) but will need to be in D.C. either Sunday night or early Monday morning. Timing is everything :) Gary W S/V

When I bought Kristy (SM243) she had no sails. I got talked into a 135genoa of dacron with spectra reinforcement, sorry I don't know the weight. This sail works with the 155 that came with the boat

Eric , That is what logic would dictate , so I am concentrating on the switches , as to wires split there going to both engines. Thanks, Pat

Eric, That is what logic would dictate , so I am concertrating

Danny , I do have a different set up . One starter battery shared with both engines , installed next to the house batteries. I plan to bypass the switch today and see if its the switch . Problem is

I don't have the Yanmar Sincerely, Alexandre --------------------------------------------

Danny , That is a great ave. run about 190 . Kent drove up a couple of weeks ago and had dinner with us and discussed his plans. Don't tell him, but I plan to stow away in his aft lazarette . My

David, Thats interesting , because when the engine would not start over the last several months on occasion , I found if I switched the switches on and off several times the engine would start . I

Hi Danny That's pretty unusual I think. Most SMs have one start battery at the fwd end of the house bank under the sea berth which starts both the engine and the genset. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

Hi Pat, When I made mention of the negative circuit on the engine I did not know you had the same problem with the genset. I would check the battery first and then everything going to the genset and

Dear Amel community, We are toying with the idea of installing a second , back up, auto pilot on our older Maramu. The primary autopilot is a BandG connected to the original , bullet proof, rotary

Hi Pat. I think Ocean Pearl is set up differently. She has two starting batteries in the engine room, one each for the gen set and main engine. There are switches for each and a connecting switch to

Hi Pat, sorry you wont make NZ by sail, its a great voyage across the Pacific. Some great down wind sailing in big Pacific swells. We did 3200 miles in 17 days and had three days with no wind. These

I had the same problem on my 1989 Maramu (no generator) until I replaced the main battery on/off switches, which I obtained from Amel. The switches were tired and current wasn't passing through

Danny, Your correct , it does rule out a lot . What does it leave , that is in common to both. The positive out of the battery switch disconnect and the negative out of the battery switch disconnect .
