Graham, Beta offers the option of "isolated negative." Be sure that they spec this option for your repower. Best, CW Bill Rouse Admiral, Texas Navy Commander Emeritus Amel School

Hi Bill, Thanks for your thoughts. Oddly enough your email beautifully summarises all my niggling doubts and questions that I will be presenting to the Beta man when we meet on Monday. After all 2

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Anchor Roller Removal...

Having just disassembled all of the various stainless bits from the bow of Harmonie for resealing, polishing, and inspection I can confirm that the axles for the anchor rollers are welded to the side

Re: Power draw at anchor

Mark, Thanks you for the correction. My math was for 12V rather than 24. So hopefully the following is correct: If your SM is equipped with 8 12V, 110Ah batteries and you are drawing 0.1 Amps

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Volvo D2-75 for a SuperMaramu

Graham, Like you I think a lot of sailboats are significantly overpowered because that is what people think they want. Your thoughts on the Beta 60 are interesting, and I'll follow carefully what

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Rocna anchor

Highly recommend the 40kg Rocna. After bending the shaft on the original 30kg Bugel (see YouTube How to straighten a bent boat anchor) the Bugel bent whilst being dragged in 40 knot winds. The new

Re: Rocna anchor

Hi Arthur, We have a 54 not SM. We ditched the original 30kg Bugel and replaced with 40kg Rocna. No change needed to bowroller on 54. Not so pretty, but now we have an anchor that works reliably for

Re: Power draw at anchor

I did put a spst switch at the fuel gauge to eliminate that draw. As well, I have made the "permanent" converters (24v/12v) switchable. I had one other mystery draw and that was high-water alarm/bilge

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Volvo D2-75 for a SuperMaramu

The answer to all this is in the torque curves. As you say Danny 2800 is the max on the Amel TMD22A installation. This effectively limits its max OP to approx 60HP. I have been very happy with this
