Re: AMEL 54 main furler
Teun
try the mallet Bill suggested.
Mine played up in Antigua last year.
If someone stands near the solenoids, you will hear them click if they are working. If they are power is going to the motor.

I have two Rutland 1200’s on Amelia and two 275w solar.
For the money the solar payback is a no brainer. Money well spent.
As for the WG’s. The payback is poor and although the blades are silent

Re: AMEL 54 main furler
Hi Teun,
Your boat is really keeping you busy, not?
For your problem I think you have two possibilities. A relative good one and a bad one.
The good one is that the relay is not working for

Re: AMEL 54 main furler
Hi Bill,
Correct – furling motor/gearbox.
Did loosen as you described below; can furl & unfurl manually - no sail jam.
Did NOT rap the gearbox; it is night now; will do tomorrow.

Re: AMEL 54 main furler
First check the simple things:
I assume you are having an issue with the furling motor/gearbox and not the outhaul motor/gearbox.
Loosen the 4 bolts on the furling motor/gearbox, lower the unit enough

Re: 100 amp charger on sm2k
I have had very good experiences with my Superwind half way up the mizzen mast. It substantially contributes to balancing the power needs on Kincsem on most days without anyone noticing it is there.

AMEL 54 main furler
Was on my way to TANNA VANUATU and can NOT unfurl the main sail. It will furl but NOT unfurl.
The switch in the cockpit is good. Any suggestions?
Have returned to NOUMEA as I need to have this

Re: 100 amp charger on sm2k
Kent,
I have to agreewith Bill. We have a wind generator, it came with the boat when we purchased itand then broke. We replaced it with a clone but probably should have saved themoney for

Re: 100 amp charger on sm2k
I had an 80A charger from the time I bought Kristy and it was plenty. I’ve added Solar since then and rarely run the charger for more than 45min per day. Still thinking about a wind generator at

Re: Insurance updates.
Back in December Helvetia (subscribed through DeLassee Insurance) made a better (still very unfair) offer, which my french lawyers pressed me to accept, but it came with a special clause or exemption
