Hi Craig. The original tabs were left in place, about 1 1/2" all around. The new Flores sit on those tabs and the top of the floors is tabbed to the hull with about 3" overlaps. I can jump up and

Bill, Thanks for your guess on the plywood thickness, this sounds about right. I know what you mean about running out of time to do projects on the boat! I am hoping that the solution is to only

It was a little tough to measure... it was seriously delaminated, about half the layers falling down. (we were going to do this last year, but ran out of time!) Hard to pack all the veneer layers

I have the drawings for the Super Maramu genoa furler. However I do not have the parts list that goes along with the 2 drawings of the furler . Does anyone have the parts list? Also how many

Bill, What thickness plywood was use for the floor of your SM? The floor panel in my Maramu feels like it must be fairly thick given how solid it feels, so just curious. A plywood panel glassed

On my boat the original plywood was glassed on top, and naked below. My replacement will be plywood glassed on all sides. The original lasted 20 years, if the replacement lasts at least that long

Craig, Thanks for the interesting discussion. 3/8” of solid glass will easily span 16” with adequate stiffness and in fact is probably overkill. On the other hand I would look at this from

Thanks, Kent - how did you tab that in, or did you use mechanical fasteners? Craig, SN68 Sangaris ---In amelyachtowners@..., <karkauai@...> wrote : I used a composite material with "sandwich"

I used a composite material with "sandwich" construction 3/4" thick that was very stiff, light weight, and won't rot. Sorry, I don't know the name of the product. Any boat yard should be able to get

I rarely see cell signal good enough to get more that text or email when more than a few mikes offshore. Kent

Hi John, Olivier also had this listed as suspect for me, but suggested to try re-packing with grease. It looks fine, the belt-drive components are all ok, I think it's the worm-gear which is worn.

Hi Dean, noisy is not good. My mainsail furling drive sounded bad (looked bad too, was on survey replacement list) at purchase and failed on sail back to US. Bearings had been dry and ground to

Courtney, I agree it indicates an over-temperature condition. Not sure why, as the ambient has not been very high. I suspect a glitch, possibly to do with lightning - there has been some activity in

I believe 7 beeps and a pulse is a heat alarm mine was fried by a near lightning strike. A refurbished unit is about 750$ and a new unit about 1400$ sorry for the problem but easy fix as 4 screws

Olivier, Thanks for confirming that I was not missing any sort of filter. I understand the importance of not restricting air flow and I am only planning to install a wide mesh (1/4 inch) screen over

Dr Wayne Witt owns a 54 based in St Thomas and accepts fee-paying guests aboard his 54 for days/weeks. I have a client that is sailing with Dr Witt now. Wayne's email is

Hello Pat, Jean-Pierre, Duane and all SM and SA owners, AMEL never installed any air filter on the PERKINS PRIMA and VOLVO TMD, but only an air muffler, in order to reduce the noise at the air intake

Hello Boys, There is no filter on my air cleaner, just an inverted basket to stop nuts and bolts from entering the turbo… my previous boat almohad a TDM 22 and no filter there

Duane, No there is no hose from the air cleaner. My air cleaner , if that is what you call it , is a empty vessel with no filter element in it . I don't know if it should have a filter and its missing

Bill, I think that you understand metals and corrosion pretty well. In my experience, a really good bronze can survive the Marine environment for the life of the boat unprotected but those types
