Hi Chris, We've done this three times on our SN which has a 6kw Northern Lights genset. Very easy to do with the ship's halyards and then you can swing it over the dock with the main boom - no

Hello to the group, One word about the BT emergency switch. Amel recommended to push (without load)the emergency switch regularly several times to prevent malfunction. There might be a risk of

Dean, When I was troubleshooting my 1 year old replacement BT motor, those were the words out of the mouth of the lead tech at Sleipner USA (IMTRA). They had some trouble with lifepo4 equipped boats

That’s exactly what Amel suggested we do when running the bow thruster. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Heinz, If I understand your problem, when you run the bow thruster, your instruments shut down, and the bow thruster stops after a few seconds. It sounds like the high power draw of the bow thruster

Hi Scott, In an Amel, yes, but not always. A fully charged 115Ah AGM (such as Rolls S12-128AGM) will deliver 67A for two minutes while retaining terminal voltage above 12V. Put 12 of these in a 2S6P

Chris, Not exactly what you were asking for, but hopefully some help nonetheless. Just a couple months ago we removed our MDKD 6.5 KVA generator from our engine room past our Volvo. Before the lift,

Dean, I agree that at higher voltages, current should just go down. That said, lower than 22v is very plausible with normal batteries. Put that big of a load on even a big lead acid bank and I would

Scott, that's an interesting point. The cabling to the BT is 70sqmm (according to Amel drawings), and the run must be about 10m or so? The voltage drop in the cable at say 360A (8kW@24V) will be

Chris, I guess you are the SM owner that I met at Bert Jabin's that had his masts down. If you ever need any pics of your masts I have a ton of them. Just ask me. ;) -- Mark McGovern SM #440

Hmm this picture looks surprisingly familiar--- no wait! that is my mast! lol

Yes, using a piece of the right size steel bar. It was a lot of pressure with a mechanical puller.

Does anyone know the correct size shackle to fit the spinnaker halyard bracket on the main mast on the SM? It's the shackle circled in the picture below: Thanks, Mark -- Mark McGovern SM #440

There was no problem on my Super maramu 2000 I did it in May Heinz sm2000, quetzal, 292 -- Hello Since yesterday when I tried to park in a box in a marina in Auckland my bow thruster motor failed.

Does anyone know if you can remove an Onan Type 7MDKAV-2317 MDKAV 7 kW 50 Hz Diesel out of a later model SM without removal of the Yanmar engine? If you have done this would love to here your

Yes, For the 54 we are finalizing a design that will look like the following. I expect that it will mount slightly higher than the original where there is 10mm clearance between the Cockpit drain and

Dear Bill, thanks a lot for this project. I am interested. But mine looks a bit different (1 connector right of the cockpit drain, 3 (4) left, no connector behind the cockpit drain). That is why I

Yes interested. Thanks Bill \Peter SY Maiken A54 #52

I have created some confusion regarding SMs. Early model SMs have only a Primary Saltwater Manifold. Later model SMs and all 54s have a Primary Saltwater Manifold and a Secondary Saltwater Manifold.
