I had Nance and Underwood (Ft. Lauderdale) replace my rig the winter and this is a photo of the guide they followed for tensioning my SM380 Steve Morrison SM380 TouRai Hilton Head, SC

Hi all, I'm about to embark upon tuning up my rig, which I feel is a little loose, but I'd love some guidance on how to do that. I've scoured the archives of this list and found many mentions of

Kent, Yep, as I said in my post I did try the Speedi Sleeves. Wasn't happy that you have to use two to get the width you need, so you're left with bit of a burr when you remove the lip of the 2nd

Gary, We raised the water line significantly when we applied Coppercoat eight years ago. We took the Coppercoat to the top of the orange stripe, left an inch or so above that and then added a new

The Speedi-Sleeves, Craig. I also wonder if the 17-4 SS would corrode over a 2-3 year time period. Kent Robertson S/V Kristy SM243 Tried which, Kent? The SpeediSleeves or the 17-4 stainless

Hi Gary, I did exactly what you're contemplating. It works very well. I got the aft section high enough but a little narrow, but if you duplicate the width of the stripe all around you should be fine.

Gary, I think that you are on the "right track," although 6" seems a little much to me. FYI, I saw a SM currently owned by Bill Maffei when prior to his ownership, the orange stripe was raised to a

Hello all: As the hull repairs progress on our hull #335 SM from the Hurricane Maria/Irma damage, the idea of raising the waterline aft is being considered. Every Amel I have ever seen,

BTW--during the correspondence and postings I referred to the surface as "stainless". I realize that the material is most likely chromed. Bob

Hi Peter, I installed a constant pressure/variable output Marco Pump E12 a few months ago. No accumulator tank needed either and sufficient pressure to wash your decks! Jean-Pierre

Jean- Pierre, I assume that would be logical considering the torque curve. I agree, I don't want to know what 4500 revs sounds like. Looks like you find yourself in a Bit of Paradise ! Enjoy I'm

EASY. Close the Through hull. Use a manual bilge pump/wet and dry vacuum cleaner and empty the pipe. Then fill the pipe with household white vinegar.. let stand 24 hours and reopen the through

Hi Pat, Volvo says their engine can deliver unto 4500 rpm. However, because power is not fully dependent on rpm but on torque, Amel decided to accept 3000 rpm as the normal maximum rpm. This is

Greetings all, I am a first time poster and proud Amel Owner. First off, I want to thank publicly Joel Potter and Bill Rouse. They went the extra effort in answering and guiding me through the

Does anybody know the size of the Speedi-Sleeve needed for the WOB? I remember someone posted it but can’t find it now. If 316 stainless isn’t hard enough, what material is recommended for a

Bob, thanks for the report. The results you show are impressive. Craig, we are in total agreement. One way or another this problem will be resolved, at least for those of us who seem unable to
