Re: Long block failure on a Volvo D3-110 Amel 54-152
Thomas, do you have a suggestion on where to get a workshop manual?
I’ve had no luck with Volvo, or the ‘manuals-online’ sites.
Cheers
Dean

Thanks Thomas
I really hope so. I hope you’re right and think you probably are. However i am a skeptical believer. In nearly everything.
Thank you for the hack on the codes! I will try it for

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Maramu pole setup
Ian,
Good Stuff...and add this:
If you bring the pole in, hook it on the inside of the rail and use a loop of the red line (aft guy) to tie it to the rail without uncleating either end.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Anchor Chain twisted in the locker after using some times
Rueidi,
I believe that I have bad news for you.
The "ISO standard" 10mm chain has a "pitch" of 30mm and the "DIN standard" 10mm chain has a pitch of 28mm.
Pitch is the distance inside the chain loop

Yes, I have the WASI Power ball swivel installed.
Here the measurements, the long inside of a link is something between 27.8 mm and 28mm. Hard to measure, but I think it’s 28mm.

Hi Ruedi,
I have heard it said that the twisting of an anchor chain is sometimes a feature of a vertical windlass , now more widely fitted on all yachts ,as opposed to the horizontal windlass such

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Long block failure on a Volvo D3-110 Amel 54-152
Thank you Danny . Good to know.
Teun was very helpful. He’s down on this model of D3 and got a new/different one. Smart man. The warranty for us only covers a new long block. Which seems realistic.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Anchor Chain twisted in the locker after using some times
Ruedi,
Your Amel should have a Wasi Power Ball swivel at the connection between the chain and anchor. Does it?
Also, 10mm chain and gypsies come in 2 different sized links, called pitch. Carefully

Hi Dana,
Good luck with the re-power project.

I would love to have an ‘old-school’ motor

Anchor Chain twisted in the locker after using some times

Re: Maramu pole setup
Great explanation. First advice I got, and which we still do, is to leave the pole end just below the rail height. Also cushion the rail either with a fender (bumper) or cockpit cushion. Just
