Volker Does the electric curled work at the moment. If 'Yes', then do not change it. Use it for a while before deciding. The original Genoa is pretty big - 150% and weighs a fair bit. It can be

Hello Santorin or Maramu Owners, I own a Santorin (SN 27) from 1990 which I am planning to overhaul. I bought the boat about a year ago, however due to Covid I was so far not able to do anything with

We used poly flex mounts, these were set up via poly flex as they can be made to order for specific weights. I moved the water pump to a nice location away from the alternator. Remote mounted the

We have had a nightmare fitting the Beta 85T to our 1993 Super Maramu. The fitter that we employed took the Perkins out and it was only when it was put next to the Beta that he he realised that they

Hello a few more tips, I did this job last year. The backing plate on SM#387 was iron and very corroded from moisture that had run down inside the stanchion. I had to break and grind enough of the

Hello, how about PTC II, is it sending and receiving? On my previous boat I had IC802 with tuner and Pactor SCS. How far were the boats you have been testing the transmission? What happens when you

Hi All, I will not pretend to be an expert on HF/SSB because I am very far from it! On my Amel 54 I have an IC-M801 SSB with SCS PTC II Pactor modem. I seem to be able to transmit just fine

Another way to skin the cat - tape plastic over the inside of a large area like windows, put in a hole and blow in air from small shop vac, Leave air running and spray diluted dish soap on outside and

FYI, The Belden Cable I recommend is round and is .222" or 5.6mm in diameter. Available on Amazon in 50 foot and 500 foot rolls. I think I bought a 500 foot roll and ran out.

Also— consider some food coloring to help identify sources of leakage :)

One bit of advice- finding a leak on a boat would be easy if it never heeled or stressed during sailing. But since it does, the path of the leak can appear uphill or circuitous when moored or at

Good day Amel lovers, Thank you very much for your response. I am afraid that the Beta 60 will be removed from the range. I just think that our Maramu and the Beta 60 can form a good couple. Bill, I

"Alternators are highly reliable". If that were the case you would never see alternator/generator repair shops. I've had my Maramu for 19 years and have replaced the house alternator three times.

I believe the Beta 85 is a good choice for the SM or the 54. This engine does not have a computer with multiple sensors and is made with a reliable Kabuto 4 cylinder diesel engine. Several of my

Dirk, I can't think of a good reason to have two separate 12V alternators. Charging a separate engine battery and a house battery bank can be handled in many less complex ways. Alternators are

Many of you attend or later watched the Jimmy Cornell ZOOM meeting in October. During that meeting, Jimmy explained his newest project, the Elcano Challenge, Aventura Zero. Jimmy had to abort in the

Good day Amel lovers, We are also planning to replace our perkins with a Beta 60 on our Maramu. We also plan to replace our batteries for 8 x 100 Ah lithium batteries. Is it sufficient to have one
