seals for Amel Drive on SM2K?
Alexandre Uster von Baar
Did I read that some owners replaced the 3 plastic seals with metallic ones? Or was this for something else?
Also, currently the seals on the Amel Drive are "single lips", has anyone tried the "double lip"? Thanks in advance, sincerely, Alexandre SM2K #289 NIKIMAT Seabrook, Texas, USA |

Alexandre Uster von Baar
Could you please let me know where I could purchase the rebuild a Fresh Water Pump Reya A66B and its rebuild kit ? (Unless I am mistaking, this is the fresh water pump that provides water to galley, heads, etc. from the water tank).
Also, how about the pressure plate, where could I purchase a spare? Thanks in advance, Alexandre SM2K #289 NIKIMAT Seabrook, Texas, USA |

Re: [Amel] Battery Plan for Amel 54
Won't be sailing again this season. Giving my back a chance to heal, dealing with family illness, and working extra to try to get her paid for. Glad to hear you're getting to do what you enjoy. Dawn says Hi.

Re: [Amel] Battery Plan for Amel 54
Hi Duncan. They were $2.59 to $2.99 apiece for the smaller ones and ~$6.75 for the bigger (3-5") ones. I'm not sure how many we'll need but I bought 20 ea of three smaller sizes (5/8-2 1/2") and 10 ea of two larger sizes (3-5"). I'm hoping to get to the boat this wkend and will report on what I used.

Bad odours coming from the A/C
Sailorman <kimberlite@...>
Our forward head started to smell after about 3 years. That is the one used
by my crew. To see if the smell was coming from the hose it was recommended that I take a hot wet rag and hold it around the pipe for a few minutes. If it smells after that, the hose needs to be changed. I regularly used white vinegar in the heads. When I changed the hose hundreds of small crystalline balls came out of the pipe ( I assume urine). As an experiment I put some of those in a glass container in pure white vinegar –after a week no effect . I came to the conclusion that the crew was not flushing the toilets enough (especially at night when other crew are sleeping). I now insist that the heads be flushed for the slow count of 10 and for the last 7 years I am using the same hose without odor. Due to the length of travel, the fluids stay in the hose unless the head is flushed in that manner. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376 Kimberlite’ _____ From: amelyachtowners@...

Trip of a lifetime
Sailorman <kimberlite@...>
My friend Eric Forsyth lost crew due to family issues. If you do not know of
him look at www.yachtfiona.com He is a CCA Blue water medal recipient and has over 250,000 miles under his keel. I believe he has made this trip twice before. Also, 2 circumnavigations and the northwest passage +++. If I could get away, I would go with him. He is currently in the Canaries on his way to Brazil shortly. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376 Kimberlite 376 CREW CALL FOR THE ANTARCTIC LEG, URUGUAY TO SOUTH AFRICA. I am looking for two reasonably experienced yachties to help cruise Antarctica during the brief southern summer. The plan is to leave Punta del Este in early November, 2013, and arrive in Cape Town in mid- February, 2014. We will stop at the Falklands and the Antarctic Peninsula. The exact route to South Africa depends on the ice conditions, with luck we will be able to sail west along the coast using the prevailing easterly winds. If ice extends too far north we will sail to the South Shetlands, South Georgia and Tristan da Cunha. This will be Fiona's third Antarctic cruise. I cover all of expenses of the cruise and in certain circumstances I may assist with air fare for well qualified persons. I think this is the chance of a lifetime for adventurous sailors who may never get the chance to sail Antarctica any other way. A detailed schedule for the cruise is posted at www.yachtfiona.com <http://www.yachtfiona.com/> .

Re: [Amel] Battery Plan for Amel 54

Just spoke with Richard, at length and he confirms your remarks. Thanks for
the help. Possibly you have heard, but he recommends that I remove all hose clamps on the Amel 54 as they have a mild steel screw that has rusted and the clamps have come loose.

Hi All,
We also had the problem of smell from the bilge going to the heads through the bilge pipe. I fixed it by putting a down facing elbow where the bilge pipe enters he bilge sump, then a short length of tube, and two more elbows to create a mini p trap. problem over. When I am home in a day or two I will photograph the system and post it.

Re: [Amel] Bad odours coming from the A/C

Hi all,
On the Amel and all previous boats the key to non smelling heads is as simple as long flushes. The flush must be long enough to remove the waste from the pipes and just leave water in them.

Hello all,
Has somebody cleaned fuel tanks on Euros 41? Access seems to be very limited or is it impossible? Regards, Üllar |

Re: [Amel] Rope to use in the carriage located in the boom of the mainsail
Bon Jour JeanLuc
Are you asking about the outhaul line on the main boom? If so there are previous discussions that should be found by searching "outhaul line". Amel uses a kevlar line, I believe. It must be an extremely low stretch line that isn't too slick. I don't remember what it was that I finally bought on the recommendation of this forum 5 years or so ago, but it was too slick. On another forum recommendation, I sprayed it with contact glue which made it work until it had weathered enough to work without glue. If that's not what you are asking about, I'm unclear.
