Kent, The breaker on the 24v panel only turns off the low-amp side of the voltage to the relays/solenoids of the electric winches, the furlers and outhaul, and to the windlass. The high-amp side of

John, Do you turn the winch relays off on the DC panel or actually go to the winch control boxes, one above the midships berth and the other in the engine room? Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu

If the winches are turned off at the 24v panel, does that shut off all possiblity of the winches running, or do you have to turn them off at their individual breakers or even the primary 24v breaker

Hello Craig, On the Super Maramu the breakers for the anchor and the other electric winches are separate so that should not be a problem. In ten years we have never made this boo boo before and nor

Just before leaving the boat for hurricane season last month, while sitting in the cockpit of my Mango docked at the marina, the starboard main winch started turning.  Could not stop it until I

John, Good "head's up" and whilst we don't have electric winches on our Santorin, we have occasionally activated the furlers and anchor windlass by setting things on the switches when moored or at

Cheers, Craig - s/v Sangaris, SN#68. PS: ..and, of course, that would be the commutator you'd be cleaning up :-)

I never liked that plastic tray as it wouldn't stay in place.  I found a small Stainless/rubber-coated drip basket that fits nicely in one side of the double sink for drying dishes (Bed Bath and

A much kinder approach to this, rather than sledgehammers and jury-rigged blocking, and what any machine shop professional would highly recommend, is to simply remove the entire boom and use a

Hi Bill, when I purchased Crusader (2) In 2003 I asked Olivier for a spare tray. He said that trays were no longer available, but gave me his last spare which I have now used. In my double sink

Thank you Lars and Eric for your input. I did change the solenoid some time ago. There was a temporary improvement but not a complete solution. I will take the stop button apart when I can find time

I am thinking of getting some Kato davits for Popeye Maramu #91. Kato have replied to my inquiry stating they have not had Kato davits installed on a Maramu so do not have instalation details on

When we replaced these sheets we made them two metres longer as the original lenth was inadequate when the other sheet was poled out. Following that terrble tale of someones arm being wrenched off I

Hello Tom, Having just been through this problem I have a few pointers. If a bolt has sheared off take the box to a machine shop and get them to drill it out and insert a Helicoil which will be better

What I meant to describe is the plastic insert trey for the sink...we use it to stack dishes to dry. It is labeled with "CER MAT" with a heart between the "CER" and the "MAT." Bill BeBe, #387

Does anyone know where we can buy a replacement for the plastic tray for the galley sink? It has "CER♡MAT" on each end of the tray. Best, Bill BeBe, SM2k, #387 Crete, Greek Islands

If you know where it is in SXM I will be there next week and take a look at it for you. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376 Kimberlite _____ From:

Does anyone know this boat? http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1981/Amel-Maramu-Ketch-2116025/Caribbean/St.-Maarten-St.-Martin Any comments about this 1981 Maramu? Thanks, Russ

I think I was reading too many of the recent posts on this site, but since I bought the boat a year ago and hadn't serviced the gearbox I decided this relatively cooler weekend (in Annapolis) was just
