Hi to all, I'm considering to sail next January from Venezuela, Puerto La Cruz, to Puerto Rico, Hispagnola and Cuba south coast and to return at the end of May to Venezuela. The main question is

Dear Members I am considering the installation of a second DRIVE UNIT for my auto helm---to be located under the aft bunk. I believe this has been done on some of the Amel Super Maramu boats . It

Greetings, We own hull #29. Does anyone know if the older Maramu's were fitted with a tang for the staysail on the mainmast? There is a small tang that I'm guessing is for a topping lift and I don't

Deb, Thanks for the info on Hydrovane; looks like a good product. I will check them out. I also plan to speak with Scanmar, who make the Monitor as well as a windvane similar to the Hydrovane

hi gary we have our maramu now the second hurricane season in a row in trinidad due to unforseen longer 'homeleave' - well rather a 'babyleave'. our MELMAR Y is on the hard at power boats, more or

Howard We have been researching wind vane steering. I personally will only fit a steering system that provides a seperate rudder. I have used Sailomat in the past with a water driven servo arm and

We'd also be interested as well in hearing owners' wind vane solutions. Our previous boat, a Caliber 40 LRC, was fitted with a Monitor wind vane, a servo pendulum device. The Monitor "saved our

Does anyone have a part number or supplier information for the flat ridged belt that drives the prop shaft alternator? I am disconnecting the shaft from the gearbox to replace the old stuffing box

We currently do not have a mizzen staysail at the moment and are looking to sort that. Does anyone have the size or sizes of any sails flown from the top of the mizzen (staysail, chute.. whatever).

Hi Anne & John: Glad to hear that I wasn't the only one who had a hard time getting the outhaul drive shaft out. I used a two pound sledge for several hours with no success. I too found no

I do not want to labour the point but I wonder if anyone in the group has fitted wind vane it would be good to hear how you found it Many thanks Deb and John Orion1 <woodsdeborah_56@...>

Thanks Ian and Judy You are right we have noticed that when on anchor the wheel can move a little particularly in a swell we will give your suggestion a try... we think the Maramu is a lovely boat

Thanks for that Joel I am suprised that only 10% have had wind vane steering. The system that we are considering would provide a second rudder shoud we lose the first but point noted and we will have

Hi Deb, When we had a Maramu ( wonderful boat!) we fitted a U bolt just to the right of the wheel so that we could clip our harness on whist still below. If you position the U bolt at the height of

Hi Gary, We are onshore at Peakes, next door to Coral Cove. Everone recommended an aircon unit as a means to avoid mildew etc ( the rainy season is from now till Xmas, apparently). We have put one

I agree with Joel, for a circumnavigation two drive units are highly desirable as they work very hard and may fail. See my previous posts and take spares as well. A spare computer for the autopilot

There is no anode in the 4-154 cooling system .I had a client put one in and it never got any smaller even years later .Perhaps it is a good thing to consider that less than 10% of the Amels that

Deb I had my Perkins 4.154 rebuilt last September and the mechanic when asked told me there was no sacrificial anode on the engine or cooling system. I have an engine manual and could find no
