I also have twisted chain after being at anchor all Summer. The twist makes the chain jump on the gypsy every 5 meters or so. So the fix is to find deep water and calm seas and let the chain and

Thanks Paul. It has just been sold. Perhaps we'll still cross paths in AU/NZ! We plan to be there Nov 2020 or thereabouts. -- Scott 2007 A54 #69 SV Tengah http://www.svtengah.com

Thanks Bill, Alan and Tom Fisher (offline) for your help, I was able to remove the inner sleeve (my terminology might be not accurate) by soaking the unit in kerosene over-night and using a vise to

You did not state whether you have a swivel, which could account for some of the issue. The other thing that you should take into account is that SS chain will twist easier. The links of galvanized

Congratulations to you. I am in the market for an SM and looked at Nunky a few times online. The deck looks simply amazing for her age, (redone in recent times perhaps?) and attention to detail was

Does the PCB in the control box look like the one in the picture below: -- Mark McGovern SM #440 Cara Deale, MD USA

Hi Mark; I second Bill’s remarks. Nicky has replaced rigging and performed other work on Kokomo. He is as conscientious and fast, as they come. I would highly recommend him. Happy Sailing;

Since buying Wilna Grace in July I've been progressively working my way through her, one job being to take out the lovely stainless steel chain and inspect it. What I thought would be a quick job

Hi Mark and Congratulations - Suggest you do it yourself for 3 reasons: you'll do it right, you'll learn your rigging, you'll have fun. Oh, and you'll save money. FWIW, Craig

Congratulations Mark! Our SM, It's Good is #105 also from 1993 and we love her, she has been very good to us. Welcome to the family, or the cult! :) Mark and Jennifer Garver SV It's Good SM #105

Mark, I am very happy that this worked out for you. I have a Preferred Vendor in Malta who often travels Europe to install rigging. I highly recommend that you contact Nicky Sammut to install your

Andrew, he probably has the older version. Eamonn, There is a micro switch inside the control box which should be controlled by the rod and attached arm. Here is a photo of part of a page from my Amel

Hi thanks for the diagram. It does not show the numbered wires in the box, but it might help. I also contacted Amel to see if they can provide the correct jack screw. Eamonn Washington Travel

Mangia, right? Friday? ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Hi Mark , Welcome to the Amel world . We used the riggers recommended by Amel’s Hyeres office . They really know their stuff . Can’t remember the name of the company but a call to Sonja in that

Hi Andrew, We are very excited. We kissed a few frogs before we came across Nunky but it was worth it. I am looking forward to participating in this community. I should be able to add quite a bit
