Stuart, I would try the following if the pump runs continuously. The cause is likely a lack of pressure in the Accumulator tank. At the tank, there is a blue cover which you can remove and where you

Our 1993 Super Maramu has the same fix except that the battens are white. It looks like it was tedious process to fit but the result is perfectly acceptable. I am not near the boat at the moment so I

Hi Matt, I don't think that's right. Our ICOM setup, setup according to the installation instructions, has a heavy green yellow/wire from the SSB ground connection to the AT130 tuner. Then there is a

Hi Chip, Trilogy (1990 SM23) needed a fix for its failing headliner when I bought her in November 2017. First attempt was to remove all the old, toxic junk between the vinyl and fiberglass. It was a

Stuart, There could be several possible issues, but I suspect that if you are not losing water and only losing water pressure, there is a problem with the one-way valve on the freshwater pump. This

Bill , Being a newcomer to the Amel Yacht Owners Group I am not sure yet how to post a question and so I hope you don’t mind uf I address it to you. We have a lack of pressure in the two bathrooms

The SSB radio transmitter ground is different from the antenna tuner ground. They should not be in common. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Our ground for the SSB is connected to the tuner that is located as far aft on the starboard side of the boat as you can go. I think we have had some modifications to our boat in this area but ours

And Scott, one more thing. Thanks for that suggestion about having a backup 12-volt starting battery. I have never had a problem, but as they say, never say never. I might add that I will be trying to

Scott, a lot of great comments and thanks for being so detailed. That really helps us all out here in Amel land - learn from other's mistakes (er. success I mean)? My approach is to do the breaker

Hi all. I had an old Sharp drive motor on my Raymarine autopilot on Maramu #42. It fit nicely in the space just below the Morse control on the dash, but has finally died after many years. I then

Hi Miles, If your boat is like ours, which I assume it is...... On the skeg is a sintered bronze plate which is the ground for the SSB radio. The wire from that should end up in the nav station area

Thanks for your reply Kent Hmmm confused still. Which bit in the photos is the ssb grounding plate connection? I have 0 ohms when I test between the copper strap In the transom locker and the rudder

You are seeing the grounding plate)cables for the SSB counterpoise. The copper strap in the bilge is the keel connection to the bonding system and zincs (assuming it is like the SM) which connects to

Hello folks I’m just in the process of replacing the keel bolt bonding strap on my 1985 Maramu. It’s led to some head scratching re bonding and grounding and the wiring runs on these lovely

Joel, WOW I knew there were health risks associated with the removal. Did not know it was that bad. Your first hand knowledge of this is very powerful, thank you for that response and warning. I

Here is some helpful information regarding the headliner with the foam backing. FIRST AND FOREMOST. THIS STUFF IS DEADLY POISONOUS AS IT IS MADE OF POLYURETHNE. IT TURNS INTO A FINE DUST AS IT DRIES

The issue wasn't that they used foam. The issue was the type of foam and the process of adhering the foam to the vinyl. This is the reason that the problem doesn't exist in later Amel SMs. Best, CW

Many boat manufacturers used similar, foam-backed vinyl. All had sagging issues as a result. None should be using it today, unless they don’t care what happens 8-10 years down the road, after
