There are threaded plates in the deck. I have had two of the bolts break off when trying to remove them. I redrilled and tapped them, and use a slightly larger bolt that still fit through the holes in the windlass. I service it every 6-12 months and always use lanacote or waterproof grease when reassembling.

I would definitely not unbolt that beast if it wasn't necessary. Lots of wiring and it may be that there is an embedded plate with the bolt corroded fast.

Does anyone know if the mounting bolts can be just turned out (i.e. is there an embedded plate below the winch for the mounting bolts)??

I also had a similar problem with the key shortly after I bought the boat. The cone finally came off with 3 screw drivers and a lot of grunting and cursing.

The key slot in the cone was damaged, so I took it to a machine shop and they cut a new slot for the key. It has worked fine since. I'm religious about servicing it and using a snubber now.

Good morning Duane,

I feel now terrible to have inspired you to service the windlass…

Here are pictures of used spare parts that came with the boat.
You can see the space for the key bent as well as inner and outer gipsy bent.

http://nikimat.com/lofrans_tigres_windlass_used_parts.html

I throw these away but purchase a spare of each (which is probably not necessary).

One of my next project is to change the oil of the windlass (and I understood it needs to be unbolted), so if you can take pictures..

Good luck…

Sincerely, Alexandre

I've been trying to remove the
inner clutch cone without success. The key is binding in
the clutch cone key-slot. (picture the clutch cone slot at
11:00, the drive shaft slot at noon, and the key tipped to
stay in both slots).
I tried using a bearing
splitter, which is the only puller that can be gotten
between the clutch cone and the aluminum casing, and the
puller then pushes against the drive shaft. It bent the
edge of the clutch cone but did not move one
bit.
I decided to remove the
winch and send it to Lofrans for repair. Looking in the
chain locker, directly below the windlass, I don't see
any nuts for the four mounting bolts.

Are the nut embedded in the
deck? I started to turn one of the bolts and didn't
get a good feeling about it.

Just saw your message.  I read you had to unbolt it, etc. I actually have the instruction.
But even thought the owner manual says to change the oil, since Bill, etc. say it is not necessary to change the oil, then I will keep it as it is...

       Alexandre,
 There was a discussion on oil pumps
 in the past few months, and one commentor noted a small
 diameter hose was good for the Lofrans.
 I would definitely not unbolt that
 beast if it wasn't necessary.  Lots of wiring and it
 may be that there is an embedded plate with the bolt
 corroded fast.

       Duane,
 I have helped other owners with this
 issue. Most have been exactly as you have
 described.
 My
 recommendation is that you can probably leave it as is, but
 be sure you grease it and use a snubber.
 I agree on not changing the oil.
 There is really no reason to change the oil
 because:If there is any slivers of metal
 or any other heavy substances in the oil you probably will
 not retrieve them by siphoning, and these pieces will
 probably do no harm as they will sink to the bottom. There
 is no oil pump...just splash-oiling.The windlass is
 not an internal combustion engine that will change the oil
 by heat.
 However, make
 sure that there is sufficient oil by using a small stiff
 wire through the fill hole to check the oil level. If you
 overfill it, you will likely get some minor seepage at the
 axle seals. I find it impossible to use the sight glass to
 determine the level, but use the wire to ensure that the
 level is at the sight glass.

Duane,

My recommendation is that you can probably leave it as is, but be sure you grease it and use a snubber.

I agree on not changing the oil. There is really no reason to change the oil because:

If there is any slivers of metal or any other heavy substances in the oil you probably will not retrieve them by siphoning, and these pieces will probably do no harm as they will sink to the bottom. There is no oil pump...just splash-oiling.
The windlass is not an internal combustion engine that will change the oil by heat.

However, make sure that there is sufficient oil by using a small stiff wire through the fill hole to check the oil level. If you overfill it, you will likely get some minor seepage at the axle seals. I find it impossible to use the sight glass to determine the level, but use the wire to ensure that the level is at the sight glass.

By the way, I'm thinking of leaving the inner clutch cone as is and just clean up the clutch surfaces and grease them. If the inner clutch cone is jammed into place by that key, I can't see the downside to leaving it that way. Any thoughts of why that's a problem?

Thanks,

Duane

Hi,

We connected ours to junction box where the shore enters the engine room prior to the shore power/generator change over switch (first point of connection to any system).

Then installed the galvanic isolator in the galley starboard of the autopilot. Pictures in the library. Seems to work well.

Hello Bill,

You probably already trace the wires.
I just did it for the installation of the Galvanic Isolator and trace from the shore power to the inverter then back to the box where select 220 Volt from 220 Volt Shore power -or- 220 Volt from 110 Volt Shore power.

You might like part 1 and 2
http://nikimat.com/galvanic_isolator.html

Do you have a 110 Volt plug at the end of your 2nd shore power cord?
Mine is not terminated, another project of mine!!!

The only piece of equipment I
have
found
lacking documentation in our boat's files has been
the transformer.
Does anybody has any details about it? I
wasn't able to get anything
on this older model from the

Here is what I think
I know, please
feel free to correct any
misunderstanding.This transformer will convert
110V up to 230V OR
230V down to 110V, depending on which
side is energized.
It is rated for
6300

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Transformer Information/Documents

Hello Bill,

You probably already trace the wires.
I just did it for the installation of the Galvanic Isolator and trace from the shore power to the inverter then back to the box where select 220 Volt from 220 Volt Shore power -or- 220 Volt from 110 Volt Shore power.

You might like part 1 and 2
http://nikimat.com/galvanic_isolator.html

Do you have a 110 Volt plug at the end of your 2nd shore power cord?
Mine is not terminated, another project of mine!!!

Sincerely, Alexandre.

       Alexandre,
 Thanks!  That confirms what I
 already thought I knew, very helpful.
 That optional equipment manual is
 one I haven’t seen.  It answers a few questions I had had
 about other things too!

 All it says section (7-16 or page
 7/28) is 6000 Watt.  
 Also recommend to
 never obstruct the air unless on each side.  

 This is another project of mine
 (to test it).

 The only piece of equipment I
 have
 found
 lacking documentation in our boat's files has been
 the transformer.
 Does anybody has any details about it?  I
 wasn't able to get anything
 on this older model from the
 Scheiber website.
 Here is the contents of the
 label:
 Auto
 TransformateurP.  110/230  HZ
 50/60S.
 ________
 Ph. _______Puis.
 6300Type  ATP   No

 SCHEIBER S.A.  85120
 Here is what I think
 I know, please
 feel free to correct any
 misunderstanding.This transformer will convert
 110V up to 230V OR
 230V down to 110V, depending on which
 side is energized.
 It is rated for
 6300
 Watts.That's about it!
  Anything else
 important to know?

Alexandre,

Thanks! That confirms what I already thought I knew, very helpful.

That optional equipment manual is one I haven’t seen. It answers a few questions I had had about other things too!

All it says section (7-16 or page 7/28) is 6000 Watt.
Also recommend to never obstruct the air unless on each side.

This is another project of mine (to test it).

The only piece of equipment I have
found lacking documentation in our boat's files has been
the transformer. Does anybody has any details about it? I
wasn't able to get anything on this older model from the
Scheiber website.
Here is the contents of the
label:
Auto
TransformateurP. 110/230 HZ 50/60S.

SCHEIBER S.A. 85120
Here is what I think I know, please
feel free to correct any misunderstanding.This transformer will convert
110V up to 230V OR 230V down to 110V, depending on which
side is energized.
It is rated for 6300
Watts.That's about it! Anything else
important to know?

On the Optional Equipment (.pdf 21.1 mb)
http://nikimat.com/amel_super_maramu_2000_Optional_equipment.pdf

All it says section (7-16 or page 7/28) is 6000 Watt.
Also recommend to never obstruct the air unless on each side. 

This is another project of mine (to test it).

       The only piece of equipment I have
 found lacking documentation in our boat's files has been
 the transformer. Does anybody has any details about it?  I
 wasn't able to get anything on this older model from the
 Scheiber website.
 Here is the contents of the
 label:
 Auto
 TransformateurP.  110/230  HZ 50/60S.
 ________ Ph. _______Puis.

 SCHEIBER S.A.  85120
 Here is what I think I know, please
 feel free to correct any misunderstanding.This transformer will convert
 110V up to 230V OR 230V down to 110V, depending on which
 side is energized.
 It is rated for 6300
 Watts.That's about it!  Anything else
 important to know?

[Amel Yacht Owners] illustration of the Galvanic Isolator Installation

Alexandre Uster von Baar

#28591

For the new owners like myself who are intimidated by the installation of new equipment, I illustrated the “installation of the Galvanic Isolator”.

This also helped me to understand better some of the electrical system (up to a point).

This might look a little different than your own installation as I have the optional 110 to 220 volt transformer in the engine room.

Would love to hear back from Olivier and other to make sure it is correct!

Here is the link: 
http://nikimat.com/galvanic_isolator.html

For low bandwidth user, the document is split in 4 sections. 

If bandwidth is not an issue, there is also the full version (49 pictures).

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Lofrans Winch Mounting

Alexandre Uster von Baar

#28590

Good morning Duane,

I feel now terrible to have inspired you to service the windlass…

Here are pictures of used spare parts that came with the boat.
You can see the space for the key bent as well as inner and outer gipsy bent.

http://nikimat.com/lofrans_tigres_windlass_used_parts.html

I throw these away but purchase a spare of each (which is probably not necessary).

One of my next project is to change the oil of the windlass (and I understood it needs to be unbolted), so if you can take pictures..

Good luck…

Sincerely, Alexandre

       I've been trying to remove the
 inner clutch cone without success.  The key is binding in
 the clutch cone key-slot.  (picture the clutch cone slot at
 11:00, the drive shaft slot at noon, and the key tipped to
 stay in both slots).  
 I tried using a bearing
 splitter, which is the only puller that can be gotten
 between the clutch cone and the aluminum casing, and the
 puller then pushes against the drive shaft.  It bent the
 edge of the clutch cone but did not move one
 bit.
 I decided to remove the
 winch and send it to Lofrans for repair.  Looking in the
 chain locker, directly below the windlass, I don't see
 any nuts for the four mounting bolts.
  
 Are the nut embedded in the
 deck?  I started to turn one of the bolts and didn't
 get a good feeling about it.
 Duane

Re: Explanation of Bonding System

Ian,

When you're back in Brunswick let me know, we're on dock 14 in BLM.

First, I'm not an expert in bonding systems. But here is what I understand.

If you connect different metals together with a conductor, one will corrode (the anode and less noble metal), and the other will not (cathode and more noble metal).

Seawater will conduct electricity.

When seawater is in contact with different metals (say a stainless steel pump impeller and a bronze seacock) one of these is less noble and will corrode (the anode). Zinc is more anodic than the other metals on your boat. By connecting all the metals that are in contact with seawater, and then connecting that wire to the zinc anode on the rudder, the zinc will corrode and protect the other metals in contact with seawater.

This is a form of "cathodic protection", check wikipedia for a more detailed explanation of cathodic protection. This is an electro-chemical reaction.

Duane,

Apparently that guy has not worked at Lofrans very long, because it is a very common problem when people either tighten the wing nut very tight and don't use a snubber, or they do not believe that the cone-to-gypsy connection should be greased.

Duane,

I am sure that you know this...The cause of the twisted key on the shaft is that the cone was not greased.

When you get it back, be sure the cone is greased between the gypsy and the cone. You want it to slip under high loads. Be sure to use a snubber to take any load off the windlass when you are anchored.

I tried using a bearing splitter, which is the only puller that can be gotten between the clutch cone and the aluminum casing, and the puller then pushes against the drive shaft. It bent the edge of the clutch cone but did not move one bit.

I decided to remove the winch and send it to Lofrans for repair. Looking in the chain locker, directly below the windlass, I don't see any nuts for the four mounting bolts.

Are the nut embedded in the deck? I started to turn one of the bolts and didn't get a good feeling about it.

Explanation of Bonding System

francesringley@...

#28585

Can anyone provide an explanation of the bonding system on the Super Maramu? I have looked through the forum and tried to interpret various messages that mention it. But I can't seem to put it all together so it makes complete sense. How and where is it laid out? What should you be know when installing new equipment? How do you check it and what are the signs of trouble?

I want to be able to add/replace various 24V and 220V things (e.g. instruments, cabin fans, microwave, etc.) but not until I fully understand.

Thanks all.
