You will get "Lee Helm" versus "weather helm". at first I balanced mine to be parallel to the water line, and I loved to have more "weather helm", but the top cavity where the bow thruster is located

Hi Bil, No, my SSB and 12V sailor power supply are off when the main switches are off. Cheers Alan

Annsofie, Drew, Richard, Thank you all so much for your responses, hope I correctly drained and anti-freezed everything but will not know until spring...Thanks again. Ross

Hi If your yacht is a ketch and the mizzen is straight why not check the angle of mast to deck of the mizzen. This will give you a good guide to the angle for the main. My Santorin seems to have

I do not mean to speak of the aesthetics of the water line, My problem is to put the main mast perpendicular to the plane of the boat to be able to make adjustment on a rigging from rake = 0.. But how

What are the implications on the performance of the later Amels SM / SM2000 if the weight has been progressively added to the stern of the boat design and a rising bow through the range of models –

Enio, Do what we did. We repainted the water line. With best regards, Mark Super Maramu 2000 Hull #275 www.creampuff.us Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2014 2:37 AM To:

Seems to me that Amel never changed the waterline, even though they changed the boat... a lot more weight aft of the centre. I wouldn't try to weigh the bow down, that will just produce polar moments

Hello Enio, It seems all Amels up to the 54 had a slight stern down posture. I corrected most of mine by placing 2 large anchors forward and limiting heavy items from the aft lazarette. It is one of

Good morning to all. In order to do what tells me Craig, I would, first of all, put the mast perpendicular to the boat, with rake = 0. I could check with the main halyard, but the boat is not level.

Thank you for all the suggestions I think I've got it narrowed down To the engine mounts The alignment seems good and there is no vibration at all in reverse even at high rpm As soon as I shift into

Hi Richard, They are Optima Spiral AGM marine batteries. I had a conversation today with Joel “the Amel guy” Potter on a separate topic. We think the previous owner may have modified

Hi what kind of batteries are they lead acid AGM ?? Charge and discharge rates are different. Given you are aboard with the batteries charge turn off the boat as you did when you left it. When you

Hi Mark: You have received some good advice from others. While battery self discharge can reach high rates in aging batteries, yours are relatively new, and this high degree of discharge suggests a

Bill, Thanks- I thought it might be the hp pump also. I will check the capacitors when I am at the boat in a few weeks. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite SM 376

Dear Amel owner, Good morning, just sailed Saturday from Port Lucaya (Grand Bahama) to Dania Beach / Fort Lauderdale. I am staying at Royal Palm 629 NE 3rd Street, Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Thanks! This has given me a start point to begin to investigate. Cindy was the one first on the boat and just told me the SSB breaker was in the on position. We have a secondary gyro-compass on

Mark Agreed that the battery mains should turn the front bow thruster & anchor winch power off however they are such high amp cables that these are always the first things I switch off right after use
