The cause is very likely the jamming when furling or unfurling. Most often it is caused by the addition of vertical battens on a SM. I will send you a page from my book on the step-by-step procedure

Stefano, You should have an Onan parts manual on your SM. The correct gauges for your model Onan will be listed in your parts manual. The gauges will not be the same for all model Onans. If you don't

Dear colleagues My Amel has one Steyer motor 140 hp. The waste gate is stuck and the turbo specialist tell me- " no way- you need replace the all turbo ". I try contact the Steyr motors ( sales ,

Hello Graham, originally, there is around 20 cm of foil left at the top, above the swivel, with the original lashings (top and tack). This means that in the foil's life, cutting off the bottom for new

In my opinion you may be able to drop the whole thing down about 10 cm or whatever the depth of the gear, if necessary you could shorten the top lashing between the sail and the top bearing. But to

Hi Graham, I would say you are fine to drill a new hole and drop the foil. As to cause I will lay odds that the bearings in rhe swivel at the top are full of salt making it hard to turn and that

Thanks Bill Rouse, would you please send a link where we can find Onan instruments? Thanks again Stef

Mike, I think you will discover that SM 23 has been modified by previous owners. Best, CW Bill Rouse Amel Owners Yacht School - www.AmelOwnersYachtSchool.com 720 Winnie St Galveston Island, TX

Two things: Onan sells the instrument add-on. It is plug and play. The Onan sensors and pcb control are designed to shut down the generator before damage. Best, CW Bill Rouse Amel Owners Yacht School

I’m following this topic with interest. First, the seacocks need to be bonded and protected by the sacrificial anode. I’m a new Amel owner and learning about its electrical system right now.

Thanks guys! Glad to hear the arch and panels were set up properly. I think I'll remove the MPPT grounding to the generator and call it a day. I was unsure of making that connection in the first

SM Main mast furler foil sheered at base just above the gear box (see pictures). This metal fatigue event rather spoilt our Chinese NY cruise yesterday. The actual sheer occurred when furling the

Thanks James! I've looked into all of those things except the internals of the injection elbow. I'll definitely check that as soon as I can. I'll give the muffler a double check while I'm at it. I'll

Terrible! We went in there for fuel. It seemed like a great hurricane hole! I guess the best protection from a CAT 4 or 5 hurricane is about 100 NM............ ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

will do! Haven't decided how long I will stay... minimum 1 week, but if I find a reasonable place, longer to sell the rest of the boat parts...

Not sure the attachment will show, here are a few pictures post Irma. You can see how destroyed what this marina. Reminder: Irma was a Category 5 and it was a direct hit.

Please drop by Kimberlite, possibly Betty and I will be on island at that time. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi, I am very happy leaving Kimberlite at Island Water World marina. It is inexpensive compared to other marinas, Currently there are 2 Amel's there. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

Being new to my SM2000 I was surprised at the lack of instrumentation for the generator. Having had 2 generator equipped boats that had oil pressure, temp. and A/C load I am curious if all SM are
