Re: Maramu pole attachment to the mast broke off
Just to be clear, the "threaded inserts" are usually known in the trade as "rivnuts" I keep a selection of them onboard, they are very handy in a lot of situations. There are fancy tools to install

Re: Maramu pole attachment to the mast broke off
Hi Alex,
I have a somewhat similar situation on my SM. A small cleat was ripped out of the mast and it pulled out the threaded inserts. I think the holes in the mast are deformed or enlarged just

You might want to check the information about the maximum battery back that can be created. I KNOW that they do not

Re: Maramu pole attachment to the mast broke off
Hey Bill,
Thanks for the reply. It’s shiny and heavy so I’m positive it’s stainless steel.
One other difference with the SM design is that the locking pin is not traversing, the pin is spring

Re: Maramu pole attachment to the mast broke off
Alex,
Are you sure it is stainless steel?
If it were my Maramu, I would have larger "small-pole mounts to the mainmast" fabricated in a machine shop from Aluminum and consider welding the larger

Re: Amel 54 v Beneteau 55
I believe the reason they have twin rudders is solely because of the fat stern. On the lean, a centre located rudder would have to be very long to stay in the water. On my last sailboat, when it went

We’ve seen some, that make it impossible to enclose (Moody deck salon series), making foulies

I doubt Amel changed the size of the cavity. I ordered the batteries with a fellow 54 owner with a much earlier hull number and he had he same problem. I do know the problem was in the few
