Alexandre, Too much trouble for you! I hope you get it all worked out without too many trips to the top! I'm glad we linked up and I appreciate the Bahamas info. Duane Wanderer SM#477

Merci, Olivier, I have not heard that story. I haven't sailed with just the Genoa poled out, and always use the preventer when the wind is >150d. I did sail wing on wing in 20+kts apparent for

Good morning, Since the base of my original tricolor & anchor light was rotten and i could not find a replacement base, I had to put a new system all together. Consequently I no longer need the

Amel Owners, If you have Frigoboat freezers and/or fridge, you have the best and you certainly will want to have a copy of this from our friends at Coastal Climate Control.

Good morning Olivier, Thanks for your reply help. I am single handed (always use a preventer when running), I will definitely remember your advice when using the pole. May I please ask you to

Thanks Olivier. Great explanation!

Hello happy downwind sailors, in 2002 or 2003, a Super Maramu dismasted, without grounding or collision, alone at sea. The cause has not been very clear, but (from what I remember) the vessel was

Kent, I believe that we have covered this before when you quoted the same thing before. Possibly you want to download the user's guide that I am quoting from:

Bon Jour, Olivier, can you comment? Merci, Kent

Bill, The geometry of the rigging suggests to me that having the two short compression “struts” in place that run from the mast to the shrouds could help stiffen the mast laterally and help

Walter, The bitter end of the wire is hose-clamped to the support for the Intercooler and about 6" from the bitter end is clamped to the transmission oil cooler. See the photo I emailed to

Bill, I think I have the Users Guide on a storage drive. When I find it and have good wifi I will send it to you. Charles, The poles aren't that difficult to deploy and retrieve single-handed with

Hi Jim, That 5" end should be clamped on the pole that supports the inter-cooler, therfore bonding it. Bob, KAIMI SM 429

Kent and Bill, The Super Maramu 2000 user manual that came with #387 does not have that warning and its sections and pages are numbered differently. The twin pole system is discussed from page 40 to

Hi Jim, there is a little hose clamp at the fitting of the hydraulic hose - this connects the oil cooler of the gear box to the bonding system. I suppose this will fit to the stripped section of the

On SM 384 equipped with the Yanmar 4JH3HTE, for preventative maintenance I recently removed and had rebuilt the 5 sea water cooled heat exchangers: engine heat exchanger, engine oil cooler, engine

Thanks all for your suggestions. Since the problem occurs with the thruster disconnected from the rigging, I don't think the problem is the rigging. I haven't taken on a drop of water through the bow

Kent, yes. Thinking over what Bill said, it occurred to me that in Amel's theory the use of both poles together would nullify each other's push. Makes sense. It has been stated repeatedly on this

Interesting… That is not in the version of the SM 2K manual I have. No date or version number I can find to compare. The thinking might be that in theory the loads of the two poles cancel each
