Hurth Transmission Coolers
greatketch@...
One of the things that Joel told me to keep on my maintenance schedule was inspection of the Hurth Transmission cooler for corrosion. Many thanks to him for mentioning it, it is something I would have missed. Sure enough, mine needed to be replaced. It's very much a crappy design: A cast aluminum box made part of the engine galvanic electrical circuit. Not surprising that it has issues. I have read rumors that there is a stainless steel version also available, but that would have its own problems. Stainless has a much lower thermal conductivity than aluminum, so it wouldn't cool as efficiently. I installed a new aluminum cooler, and modified it to accept a zinc anode. You can see photos and some more details on our blog here: An engine project.

Oman won't start!
Mawgan grace
Hi all. I haven't run my 3yr old Onan generator for about 1-2months. It turns over but won't even think about starting. I've changed the fuel filter, both relays and water pump. The fuel pump is ticking away and my main fuel tank has just over half fuel level left. I've primed it for 30sec to a minute but no joy. Any ideas??

Richard03801 <richard03801@...>
Given the amount of condensation over the winter yep pump it. Second depending on location keep a dehumidifier going and draining into the bilge is a good way to reduce the MOLD factor. And yes you have to put full strength anti freeze in the bilge too. Fair Winds Smooth Sailing Capt Richard Piller Newport RI Cell 603 767 5330 On Aug 26, 2016, at 18:42, Kent Robertson karkauai@...

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dry dock bilge usage?
Any reason we couldn't power the bilge pump from the battery side of the main switches? That's how my charger is wired. I really don't think a functioning sump pump is necessary when on the hard, but when in the water, it would be nice to have a functioning sump pump, but turn everything else off.

Interior varnish.
Danny and Yvonne SIMMS
Hi all
I have always thought the quality of the varnished timberwork on the SM to be a remarkable feature. I have never seen better on any boat and few maintain that quality for the years that an Amel does To maintain that I have regularly gone over ever square inch of varnish with a good furniture polish. Just completed another polish and it looks so good, the timber glows. Takes a while but makes a change from engine room work. Danny Sm 299 Ocean Pearl |

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Which Autopilot drive Rotary or Linear?
Danny and Yvonne SIMMS
Hi Bill, that's the irony of storm sails. In building conditions we can be quite comfortable sailing with the big Genoa part furled, but those same conditions are beyond what we want to face on the fore deck handing that huge sail. A hard call. When having a new 150% headsail made I told the sail maker not to weight the cloth for the moderate winds the full sail would be used in, but for the strong winds it would be used in partly furled. Their first try was way too light and I sent it back and they provided the right weight at their cost. Sent from my Vodafone Smart On Aug 27, 2016 1:54 AM, "'Bill & Judy Rouse' yahoogroups@...

Latches for lockers and drawers
Walter Kleiner
Dear group,
Amel used different turn latches on different models. Noa (SM2K 436) has Mobella turn latches - good design but there is a tiny device inside the latch which brakes sometimes. Last time I checked they only sold complete latches - now they sell the tiny device and ship worldwide. www.onmar.de http://www.onmar.se/door-locks/spare-parts/novibra-turner I´ll put a photo of the latch used on Noa under the photo section. Kind regards, Walter (Noa, SM2K 436) |

Re: Leroy Somer Outhaul motor
Walter Kleiner
Alan,
if you are good in silver soldering and don´t get the cable out you could solder the new motor cable to the old one. If you stick them together like two opposite paint brush, it will suck the silver in and you get nice clean solding. Plus vulcanic tape and heat shrink, it it durable, safe and easier to fit under the white cap compared to heavy duty crimp. Cheers, Walter (Noa SM2K 436) |

Joe , Your cockpit has two large scuppers aft of the engine compartment lid , look and you will see them. They will quickly drain any water entering you cockpit on land or sea. However you should always have the yard block up your boat so that it is slightly lower in the aft than the bow . Most any yard would know to do that , but I don't assume anything.

Tracie & I are returning to the States for 1 - 2 months and have had the boat hauled at the Caicos shipyard in Providenciales. She is secured in their 'Hurricane Section' which has large cement blocks buried about 8' down for their anchors.
My question is; Should the power to the automatic bilge be left on? There is no power available to the boat while it's hauled. To conserve the batteries, I'm trying to decide if I should disconnect all of the power at the batteries via the two large red handles or should they be left on so that the bilge can operate? What happens it the boat gets a large amount of rain during a storm or hurricane when it is secured on dry land?
I know that while in the water if the cockpit is hit with a lot of water it is supposed to evacuate it rapidly,, but I d
on't know exactly how this is accomplished.
Thank you,

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dry dock bilge usage?
Alexandre Uster von Baar
Unless I am mistaking the rain will go through the cockpit drainers (not in the bilge).

She is secured in their 'Hurricane Section' which has large cement blocks buried about 8' down for their anchors. My question is; Should the power to the automatic bilge be left on? There is no power available to the boat while it's hauled. To conserve the batteries, I'm trying to decide if I should disconnect all of the power at the batteries via the two large red handles or should they be left on so that the bilge can operate? What happens it the boat gets a large amount of rain during a storm or hurricane when it is secured on dry land? I know that while in the water if the cockpit is hit with a lot of water it is supposed to evacuate it rapidly,, but I don't know exactly how this is accomplished.
