Kent, I understand now. I will try to remember to take a photo of the blocks on my mizzen boom. The halyard that I use to hoist the motor is also used to lift the passarell off dock. Fair

Hey Trevor. I have to take a line over the current block the way it's set up now. Maybe a few seconds more each time I lift the outboard. Kent

Hi Kent, If you did use those foot blocks, would it not be a hassle having to thread the rope through them every time that you want to hoist something? Regards, Trevor Seafever SM

That's where mine failed, Alan, then failed again soon afterward at the same fitting. Kent

That is what I'm talking about, Eric. I guess my description wasn't very clear. I'll try again. I would put the foot blocks on the mizzen boom where the other ones are. My line for raising the

Alan, The majority of the failures are exactly as you describe them. You even get early warning with the deterioration of the outside sheath of the hose near the fitting. Bill Rouse BeBe Amel 53

Interesting...my connectors were OK ...it was their grip on the hose that was the issue, and slicing a cm off the hose and then re-installing the connectors seems to have fixed it. Maybe I'm suffering

Sorry, I thought you were speaking about the block on the end of the boom used to lift the outboard. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Kristy, I use crimped connectors and they have never failed at the crimp. What has happened is that the threaded end fails after corrosion erodes a small hole in the tapered end fitting

Dear Jenya, we have a very good SM 2000 red line from 2003 for sale. She is in Spain right now. Are you interested ? wbuelow@... Regards Wolfgang Buelow "jenyalwilson@... [amelyachtowners]"

I don't have a block at the mizzen spreader, just feed the line to the mizzen winch, or over it and down to the mainsheet winch. I would feed the other end of my line through from the aft end of the

Hi Kent, How do you propose getting the shackle in and out of the block? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi Eric, I'm looking at the smaller Antal Tulip Foot Block, model #819-060. http://www.antal.it/index.php/en/blocks/tulip-series Kent

Thanks Ian, but what type of thread? NPT or BPT? I am asking as most the vessel is European standard (BPT) For example the D Plate pressure Switch has BPT (so the one I bought in the US did not fit,

I believe that the threads on the connectors are 9/16th. I am not sure of the thread type but I will try and visit my hydraulic shop Monday and get the exact spec. Ian Shepherd

Hi Alex , Peter an the group , I think on the first Amel 54 the Genua and trinquette had the Same Bamar furler = MEJ 1.02, later Amel 54 received for the genua the stronger MEJ 2.02. On our boat we

I really don't like those connectors. It sounds like they've caused a lot of damage on many boats when they fail...mine included. The crimped high pressure fittings are much less likely to fail and
