Re: Machining AMEL-specific tools in NZ (outhaul puller PLUS wrench for the rudder-post-packing nut)
Hi all,
OK, I have some indicative numbers – it seems only 2 or 3 potentially for the puller for the main-outhaul.

Raising Boot Stripe
We have just hauled out and looking at raising the boot stripe on our Super Maramu. Does anyone in the group have photos showing their raised boot stripe. Thanks, Elaine and Michael from Nebo SM2000

Re: 2026 Downwind Circumnavigation Boat Choice: Amel 50 sloop or Amel 55 ketch?
Hi Fred,
I have no experience of the Amel 50, but my biased opinion is that the ketches are more suitable for a circumnavigation.
This is not to do with the ketch rig as such but to the overall ethos

Re: 2026 Downwind Circumnavigation Boat Choice: Amel 50 sloop or Amel 55 ketch?
It was exactly my dilemma . After test on A 50 it is more modern but I think less adapted for circumnavigation ( fridges are perpendicular to the axis as example )it is 1/3 to 50% more expensive than

Sharki main furler for first generation manual furling rig from the mid 80's
Hey all,
I have recently removed and rebuilt the manual mainsail furler on my 1986 Sharki #133. I couldn't find any documentation on this procedure so I recorded my experiences in the attached word

Re: Wide open throttle
David,
The number one reason some Amel owners do not achieve RPM at WOT is the AutoProp is fouled. If only one barnacle finds just the right spot on only one blade, the blade will pitch too deep and

I’ve been lurking in this group for the past year or so and soaking up the knowledge. I expect I will have lots of questions to ask soon so want to introduce myself and my family first.

Re: What to do with LiFePO4 batteries when the boat is layed up?
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5505962/
I found this article interesting, particularly if you are considering longer term 'cold/offline' storage or transport of LiFePO4 batteries.

A54 - Volvo D3 24-volt alternator
Has anyone successfully changed the Mastervolt 24-volt 110 amp alternator for some other alternator? It appears that the original, part No. 48524110, is becoming extinct.
