Re: Sq. footage of hull

Interesting that the Delos crew seem not to know that Amel has always used a barrier coat inside the gelcoat such that blisters are not an issue. After sand-blasting, which may have compromised the

Hello James, After several Amelians suggested the use of Butyl Tape, and after a bit of research on the subject.... I am going to use the Butyl Tape. Though I am a bit worried about completely

Re: Sq. footage of hull

SV Delos has a good video for measuring the sq footage of the SM2k bottom and they used 9 gal of primer "I think"for their bottom. Around 705sqft. One layer grey, one white, and another grey. Then

Yes you can see the unused holes, but it's really of no consequence

Re: Leather steering wheel cover install

Hi Gary, No kit number, we had to measure. And they are different, some wheels like ours with alloy spokes, some have round stainless spokes, no sure if the diameters are the same. Cheers Alan Elyse

Re: Leather steering wheel cover install

By a small amount I think all the dimensions were different enough to need a good accurate measurement. Sorry I can't remember more details. Should have written things down... JOEL F. POTTER CRUISING

Re: Leather steering wheel cover install

Gary- you have to remove the old cover and measure very carefully. I even sent pics of some of the measurements. Oddly, boat leather.com does not save measurements from previous orders. I was pretty

Thanks Alan- so can you see the disused holes in the wheel cover where it moves over the spoke or no ? Thomas Kleman SV L'ORIENT SM2K 422 Oahu

Re: Leather steering wheel cover install

Thanks Joel. That would explain why two covers I got from Amel were too small. Maud didnt seem to know about the different diameters. Was the difference in wheel diameter or the size of the tube used.

Re: Leather steering wheel cover install

There were at least three distinctly different steering wheels used on the Super Maramu during the production that yielded 479 examples over 16 years. I don’t remember the time period each wheel was

Re: Genoa Chain Plate bolts Leaking in aft hanging closet

Ken, I have worked on boats that used the butyl tape and use it myself for applications. It is good stuff overall and I always carry some on the boat. Works best it seems on mating parts that

Re: Genoa Chain Plate bolts Leaking in aft hanging closet

Hi Bill, I knew the copper vent pipe for the fuel tank in the closet area, however, I didn't know about the potential condensation problem within the closet. I will look a bit closer at the potential

Re: Genoa Chain Plate bolts Leaking in aft hanging closet

Ken, Your plan should get you sealed back up. I didn't mention my recommendations for a sealant since I assume that you have a limited selection to pick from. The 5200 or 4200 will work for you.

Re: Leather steering wheel cover install

Looks awesome! I wrote to them and asked about a kit for the SM .. Their reply was that "there are different sizes" so I needed to send measurements ... I didn't think this was the case. May I ask

Ken, Perhaps something you already did but just in case, were you able to visualize water going through the bolt? Now that you have it stripped down the rub rail you can put some water outside and

Re: Genoa Chain Plate bolts Leaking in aft hanging closet

Ken, You probably are aware of the fact that the copper pipe vent for the fuel tank is above the area where you have a leak, and this copper vent pipe will create more water than you may realize

Re: Genoa Chain Plate bolts Leaking in aft hanging closet

Hi Ken, did you consider Butyl tape as a sealant? Many prefer it to seal hatches, it stays tacky for years and years and you can easily remove it if needed. Regards, Ruslan. --
