Paul. Sorry to see you've had a problem with the drive. I've worked with Joseph on another Amel he's very good best on St Tom here's his number. 1 (956) 561-0620 Good luck.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Maramu Survey
Ahoy Eric and Congratulations!!! And welcome to the Group! There's a very good mechanic in Fajardo near SunBay Marina named Danny Ramos (Marine Mechanical) if you need one. If you do tell him Kent Robertson said "Ola". I'm currently at Tiger Point Marina in Fernandina Beach, FL, just S of the GA border. Hope to be heading for Bonaire around the first of May. Tiger Point is a reasonable place to leave Deep Purple if you haven't settled on a place yet. Brunswick GA has two good marinas and hadn't been hit by a Class 3 hurricane for 150+ years. Let me know when you get her back this way, I'd like to buy you a beer/rum/wine to celebrate.

With this information, you may get a worthwhile report from somebody familiar with the boat. AND, possibly there is an Amel owner nearby who will inspect the boat with you. In most cases, an Amel owner will be much more valuable than a surveyor not familiar with Amels. I know of several recent pre-purchase inspections which the prospective buyers were accompanied by a current Amel owner...each of these that saved the buyers lots of $$$$'s.

Re: Changes to Yahoo
UPDATE on the new site. 02/10/2016
The Yahoo database has been captured and copied into two files. One is a web-based file (readable and searchable in a browser). One is a .PDF file (readable and searchable in Adobe Reader or Acrobat. The base file is a database converted to pure text, thus removing links and advertisements and large fonts, and highlighting and anything else that would slow a search. The files are large. 50+ Megabytes each: 17 Million plus lines of data were indexed (a lot of them are blank, just spaces and carriage returns) 56 Million characters are included in 25,361 messages. Messages are ordered by date, as hey were posted. I was trying to organize them by topics, bit Yahoo doesn't make sense with those key numbers some time and it looked like a LOT of work to get it sorted. Yahoo injects a large amount of spurious text into the message base, especially the mess of raw html code that we often have to wade through. In order to reduce the size of the files and the amount of clutter I might ask for a couple of volunteers to take a portion of the source file (.txt) and work through it to remove a few thousand lines of useless text. I'll make that plea and set up the methodology on the new board. I looked briefly (again) into trying to replicate the Yahoo database into the new site but I don't see a ready answer. Still searching.... As far as I'm concerned, the new board at "http://www.amelowners.net" is stable and ready for traffic. I have about a week in St. Thomas to continue to pipe things over. I CAN import the current message streams, one at a time, to the new board for continuing dialogue. It would make sense that if I were to do that I would go back say, a couple of weeks and capture the most active topics and bring them across. After that I would stand down on any support for Yahoo and focus only on the new board's development. Ready when you are :) Gary W. S/V Adagio, SM 209 USVI |

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Freezer temperature
svperegrinus@yahoo.com
Hello Alexandre,
We recently raised the temp by 3F on the each of the underseat units after about two years for the following reasons: 1. The ice cream was coming too hard from the freezer. 2. No food ever spoiled either in the freezer nor in the refrigerator in the past two years. 3. The beer was coming too cold from the refrigerator. 4. Some of the vegetables in the freezer would sometimes come out partially frozen. The Admiral complained. We'll see how things evolve. Cheers, Peregrinus At anchor, Mar Menor (Murcia) |

Re: Freezer temperature
svperegrinus@yahoo.com
Hello Eric,
On Peregrinus, the Frigoboat evaporators run all along one long side, curve, and run along the short starboard side on each under-seat cooler box. The temperature sensors connected to the Mk II Coastal Climate Control external digital controls run horizontally about halfway between the bottom and the top of the short port side wall on each box. There are brackets screwed into the port side wall of each box which separate the sensors from the wall. Cheerio, |

Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2016 11:53:24 -0400 Subject: Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Broken/Snapped drive shaft Paul, Just a thought...Fixing the problem in the BVI might be a little difficult due to lack of good marine resources, and knowledge of the Amel. Here in St Martin, the resources are much better, and it is only an 80 mile sail away. Also, Will has a special tool he had machined to help with the alignment process, and I'm sure he would let you use it. When Kent had his problem, he had it fixed in Puerto Rico, and he has the name of the mechanic who did the work. Steve Aloha Sm72 St Martin On Jan 27, 2016, at 10:55, pflafrance@...

Re: Freezer temperature
Hello Alan we have a Frigoboat freezer unit on our 1981 older Maramu, it is quite old, it is a 12V AV12 Danfoss compressor with the original BD102N3016 controller. I have seen max -18º C in this unit, fully loaded and thermostat at the maximum setting. I normally sail in aprox. 25-30ºC ambient temperatures and it has worked well through the years. I recently bought a Control Module 12v DC (4 Pin) For Danfoss BD3 & Earlier Compressors from Penguin in the UK which is said to improve the efficiency of how the compressor operates. I keep the old one as a spare.

Many of you have probably received an email from Edwina@... regarding their fight with GORTT over the 12.5% VAT on services for foreign yachts. They and their industry are trying to do something about it. Anyone who has been to Trinidad know yacht services is a huge industry. I have always been treated well. May I respectfully suggest you contact Edwina for interim concessions to offset the VAT. There are lots of plus’s including direct flights, Jessie, no hurricanes, Red Ibis’s and they know AMELS..

After running our fridge and two underbunk freezers for 2 months on shore power, and being so happy with our new solar system, we decided to trial leaving all three units on for a few weeks with the boat charger unplugged as it appeared we had far more energy coming in from the sun than was required. This was all fine and batteries remained 100% for a week or so, but then after a spell of four really rainy days with absolutely no sun I returned and found the one of the under bunk freezers no longer at freezer temp. My immediate thought was that the compressor had gone but now after Kent's post re shutting down with lower voltage I will check that possibility first.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Freezer temperature
Hi Alexandre We have 2 x 260w solar panels mounted on one of Riza's new Amel Davits which run in series through a Tracer 4215BN MPPT controller with MT50 display. This gives us between 5amps to max 20amps (normally over 10amps) charge at approx 27.7volts for much of daylight hours. What a difference it has made and now our last job is to find suitable LED globes for all internal lights and deck level Nav lights. Masthead is already LED.
