Well, Peter, you were almost correct....it didn’t quite take one day but just a few days to agree the sale of Balthazar! There was a lot of interest from wonderful folk around the world and I

If you grab it in the middle you will find it moves enough to cause the entry to go up and down with the vigorous movement, creating a pump action. Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Thank you all for the really useful information. I had thought about a rebuild but a lengthy article on Morgans Cloud convinced me that repowering is the better option. The overall conclusion was

Hi James, This is clearly not a standard part that can be sourced in the US, but just take your lowering mouse to any machine shop and have them make an identical one out of delrin, but with a notch

Hello everyone - I would like to ask if anyone can recommend a US source for a replacement plastic ballooner halyard hook (for hoisting). This would be for a Super Maramu 2000. Alternatively, I'll

I had a similar problem, wherein the chain counter would count on its own, regardless of the anchor position. I had Alban in Martinique look at it and he cleaned the magnet. It worked for awhile and

There are two versions of the elbow sensor on Onan generators on Super Maramus. Some Onan models have part 309-0295-01 which is Normally Closed. Other models have part 309-0295 is Normally Open.

We have recently been through the process. Couldn't justify the dollars to make the Volvo tmd new again. Oil leak. Turbo rebuild. We have installed a new beta 60. Plenty of power. Lots of torque.

Hi Mike, I believe if the exhaust temperature at the sensor exceeds 230 degrees F. the genset shuts down. I will do an experiment one day and disconnect one wire while the genset is running and see

We just had this problem. It was a rusted magnet. It's very easy to open up the windlass and see the magnet on the gypsy. On A54 #69, we have two windlasses, so I just took the gypsy from the port

The magnet gets rusty. You may test the system , take off the gipsy and hold/turn a magnet above the reed relay and observe the counter Wolfgang Weber SY Elise Amel 54#162

Nick, You had me fooled. Your original post stated Amel 55, and the 55 furling assembly does not have a worm! I believe that your Amel 54 #19 has the earlier version of the mainsail furling motor and

ok many thanks Arno

Hi guys, I am leaving it overnight soaking in diesel. I tried a puller earlier to push out the shaft but nada. Tomorrow I will apply heat and the puller. If that fails I guess it will need a press. I

I believe the Beta 85 is the best engine to repower the SM or 54. There are lots of reasons...here are a few: Beta understands the isolated ground Beta 85 is Kubota powered Beta 85 has no computer and

Hi Paul, It may give you more choices in yards not to limit it to soda blasting as conventional sand blasting is fine on the keel, masking off adjacent fiberglass, Enjoy City Island - we sailed out of

Paul, In the southern Chesapeake we have used Severn Yachting Center for most all of our repairs including haul outs. Not sure how many Amel’s besides ours they have worked on, but I will say they

Nick, Assuming that the worm gear and the shaft are both metal... I would try heating the component ( I assume this is the worm gear) with the hole to expand it while cooling the other part (the
