[Amel] Re: Genoa sheets and runaway winches

Mizzen Ballooner

Good news... We had a sock (snuffer) installed on our Mizzen Ballooner. What a difference in setting and snuffing. A few days ago, we used it with the snuffer for the first time with the wind on

Kent given that I'm on a lot of boats I have a "top climer" that allow getting up on my own. We use the windlass and a safety line on our SM Regards. SM 209 FOR SALE IN ANNAPOLIS Richard

[Amel] Re: Genoa sheets and runaway winches

Re: [Amel] Re: Genoa sheets and runaway winches

John, Do you turn the winch relays off on the DC panel or actually go to the winch control boxes, one above the midships berth and the other in the engine room? Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu

Re: [Amel] Re: Genoa sheets and runaway winches

If the winches are turned off at the 24v panel, does that shut off all possiblity of the winches running, or do you have to turn them off at their individual breakers or even the primary 24v breaker

Re: Genoa sheets and runaway winches

Hello Craig, On the Super Maramu the breakers for the anchor and the other electric winches are separate so that should not be a problem. In ten years we have never made this boo boo before and nor

runaway electric winch

Just before leaving the boat for hurricane season last month, while sitting in the cockpit of my Mango docked at the marina, the starboard main winch started turning. Could not stop it until I

Re: Genoa sheets and runaway winches

John, Good "head's up" and whilst we don't have electric winches on our Santorin, we have occasionally activated the furlers and anchor windlass by setting things on the switches when moored or at

Re: [Amel] Galley Sink drain insert

I never liked that plastic tray as it wouldn't stay in place. I found a small Stainless/rubber-coated drip basket that fits nicely in one side of the double sink for drying dishes (Bed Bath and

Re: Outhaul Gearbox Removal

A much kinder approach to this, rather than sledgehammers and jury-rigged blocking, and what any machine shop professional would highly recommend, is to simply remove the entire boom and use a

Re: [Amel] Galley Sink drain insert

Hi Bill, when I purchased Crusader (2) In 2003 I asked Olivier for a spare tray. He said that trays were no longer available, but gave me his last spare which I have now used. In my double sink

Re: [Amel] Yanmar Shutdown

Thank you Lars and Eric for your input. I did change the solenoid some time ago. There was a temporary improvement but not a complete solution. I will take the stop button apart when I can find time

When we replaced these sheets we made them two metres longer as the original lenth was inadequate when the other sheet was poled out. Following that terrble tale of someones arm being wrenched off I

Re: Outhaul Gearbox Removal

Hello Tom, Having just been through this problem I have a few pointers. If a bolt has sheared off take the box to a machine shop and get them to drill it out and insert a Helicoil which will be better
