Steve, Another Amel School client, who, BTW is in the turbo business researched this for a Super Maramu TMD-22 client and reported this information: I believe this is the best information

We are making good progress on the pulley project. Attached is a picture of a production prototype of one half of the pulley machined from 6061 Aluminum next to the original cast Aluminum pulley.

I am fairly sure (not certain) that your engine has two-stage injectors...one stage for less than about 1600-1800 and the other for higher RPM. Most of these two-stage injectors I have seen fail in

Kent. Emergency Furler: Regarding the emergency genoa furling operation, it should work if you have crossed the leaves to the deck blocks which are used for the "foreguy" for the downwind poles. Of

Yes, Danny, the line is crossed after it leaves the drum. Do I have to keep a lot of pressure on both sides of the line while furling and unfurling? When single-handing, cranking on one side,

Hello Miles. Many of us eager to help you suspected you had a 46/48’ Amel Maramu because of your mention of a Perkins M60 and a cutlass bearing. Much of the advice you got was in reference to the

Hi Kent, when you run the manual furling line do you cross it after it leaves the pulley on the forestay. If not you are losing a big part if the rope/ pulley contact friction. Regards Danny SM 299

Kent, I had the same trouble with the furler not holding a partially furled sail. My problem was a slightly bent clutch pin (which effectively shortened it) and a pin plate with elongated and ramped

My TMD22 has a Garrett 466770-0006S turbo on it. I purchased a new “cartridge” (compressor/turbine and bearing block) for $300. I’m waiting for the gaskets to arrive from Volvo, so I can’t

Thank you Steve and Bill K, and Vlad made an offer of his spare rebuild kit, too. It sounds like I need to go to Ft L and dismantle my gearbox before I do anything else. If I need help I’ll call

Hi Mark, You mentioned cutlass bearing. What model Amel do you have? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi Dan, I don’t know about the new yanmar engines. However the older engines like the 4jh4hte in later production was available with an isolated ground. If that option is not available, it is not a

Hi Paul, Do you use a fuel conditioner in your diesel tank? Do you have inspection ports that are accessible in the tank? With a contaminate in the tank I would suggest using a finer racor filter.

Miles, If you have a vetus coupling. I think the knocking sound could be caused by the breakdown of the bushings in the coupling. The engine mounts and the C-Drive mounts are also something to

Bill, Thanks, that is quite reassuring. The "sludge" is very sticky - I only noticed it when I went to lift the gauge rod up and I could feel it sticking to the bottom of the tank. What I found on the
