Re: Ultra Anchor
I'd be careful, depends on your roller. A good friend of ours with a sm 2000 (Victor, Alendoy) got one and had to grind out some inox to allow the fatter "puffier" ultra hollow shank to fit. Not a big mod, but defo not always a perfect fit out of the box.

Re: Swivel head

Hi Greg, I will measure the SM mainsail top swivel for you as soon as I get back to Heinz's Quetzal in early January. Are there any other critical dimensions you need measured besides ID and OD? I can provide photos and whatever else you may need. Hopefully this becomes a workable solution for you and other Sharki owners.

So a 45kg Ultra fits the bow fitting on an SM without problems / modification?
Thanks for a picture if possible. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437 |

Re: Bowthruster - damaged hex-nut
David Vogel
Yes, agree! It is when the rust gets a hold – perhaps due to the leaking compression and lip seals – that the hex-bolts and motor-spline interfaces become a problem. If ever there was ever a case of “a stitch in time, saves nine”, then this is one of them. I was keeping an eye on things and thought that, in the absence of any leakage into the bow-thruster compartment, that everything was all OK. And it was, until it wasn’t …
BTW, the set of multi-spline extractors arrived just after we splashed back, and now we’ve left Perigee (for the first time in 5 years) for a Christmas ashore. Upon our return in the New Year, we’ll try again to budge that recalcitrant hex-head bolt with the new tools … In the interim, expressing thanks for all the help and assistance received from our cohort of AMELians over the past 12 months, and wishing you all the very best for this Festive Season, and beyond.

Re: Swivel head
Gregory Shea
Heinz,
I have spent almost as much on parts to repair my Sharki swivel as Amel wants for a complete SM swivel.
There are two more Sharkis that are following my progress and if a SM swivel will fit, they may be better off to buy a complete SM swivel from Amel. Until your posting I was not aware that Amel had replacement swivels for any models. It would be amazing if
the SM swivel could be used on a Sharki or Maramu.
Thanks for your help with this.

Re: Swivel head
Gregory Shea
Heinz,
My foil is 35 mm also, so a SM furler may fit a Sharki. Is it possible for you to measure the inside and outside diameters of your swivel?
Do you still have your old one?

-- Hello
Since yesterday when I tried to park in a box in a marina in Auckland my bow thruster motor failed.
If I turn the beam to the left or right the whole power supply breaks down for a moment. After that the power is back.
I took the rudder off and it can be turned perfectly by hand.
But the same happens with the engine. No power for a few seconds, all instruments off, no rotation of the motor.
Does anyone know this problem.
Does anyone know how I can find out if it's the motor or maybe a relay that doesn't work.
Can I test the motor without a relay, maybe on the 4 cables marked D1, D2, and A1, A2?
I am grateful for a quick answer.

Re: Forever Young / Standing rigging
Hey Nicolas, Delos did a series of three videos on YouTube about them re-rigging Delos in Thailand. (Go to YouTube and search "Delos rigging”). They show the difficulty with the front turnbuckle, how the cables are swaged and how they replaced the wires with the mast still standing. Not for the faint of heart but certainly possible with some help. It would be a lot easier with a prebuilt kit like ACMO ships with Bill’s discount as well.

Re: Forever Young / Standing rigging
Hello Bill Again a very interesting post for me. In the new year I will have to change my rigging and will follow your advise and go ACMO with the new turnbuckles.

Re: Super Maramu wall lamp shades
The previous owner of Elyse replaced most of these with a rounded glass, which actually looks very smart.
I have a whole bunch of the original shades in a cupboard in the saloon. I could send them to someone that wanted them, BUT because of Covid, I am in Australia, Elyse is in New Zealand, and I can't get there anytime soon. BUT anyone that wants them, keep that in mind. ONE day I will be reunited with my beautiful boat. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437 |

Re: Ultra Anchor
Ulrich Michael Dangelmeyer
The best choice ever. We changed our original Bugel on a 45kg Ultra and its incredible how quick and strong it holds, we Are in Greece with lot of Meltemi and gusts. No problems with the bowrollers. Just change the anchor. Highly recommended also the Ultra swivel! Ask UltraMarine Europe, Kris Teaotea, for Special offer for AMEL owners, as we got it last year. Best and Merry X Mas.

Re: Bowthruster - damaged hex-nut [count on drilling out that bolt and re-tapping the hole + TORX]
Bill Kinney
Nicolas,
The lip seal and “donuts” are the seals that keep the ocean from coming in where the thruster shaft goes down through the hull. They are critical maintenance items and should be changed every year—two at the most—to avoid unexpected leaks. These times are not governed by sailing hours since the failure mode is when the foam rubber in the donut seals compresses and hardens. This reduces its ability to properly maintain a seal.
