Re: Fw: Deck repairs for an SM ( and other Amels )
Germain Jean-Pierre
Hello Judy and Ian,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Eleuthera is SM007. Being a few years older than your vessel, it had exactly the same problems. However upon purchasing the boat some six years ago, we used a product called Captain Tolley’s creeping crack cure. Still a good solution many years later. One caution; when you do the work ensure you follow the application instructions. Otherwise you’ll end up with some residue on the decks. Don’t ask... Kind regards, Jean-Pierre Germain, Eleuthera, SM007, Opua NZ

Re: Where do you send the grey water from a washing machine?
Karen Smith
Nothing to add on the drain arrangements, the normal bilge is where it should be going. On the question about the water pressure, it is useful to remember that all of these machines are designed for, and mostly used with normal household water systems. Pressures from 25PSI to close to about 80 PSI are "normal" for city water systems, although I have seen higher pressures in some places, close to 100 psi. Anything I'd expect to see on the boat should be well within the design range.

Right the gray water bilge in the engine room, not under the floor in the galley. ;) John Clark SM 37 Annie St Thomas USVI

Re: Any SM owners use a Beta engine??
Dan Wilcox
Happy to contribute in any way I can. This group has helped me a lot as I make significant upgrades. Let me know if there is any additional information I can provide. My project starting Saturday is to install a Diesel hydronic heating system from Sure Marine Services. Thanks, Dan Feierabend SM #86

Fw: Deck repairs for an SM ( and other Amels )
ianjenkins1946 <ianjudyjenkins@hotmail.com>
Hi Folks,
Pen Azen is 20 years old and has about 65,000 miles under her keel. On the faux teak deck she has a number of hairline cracks, hard to see unless in sunlight and about 1-2 cm long. They are in random places, a few clustered around the point where you step
off the deck into the cockpit on the starboard side. They are not structural but should be filled as otherwise water can penetrate and damage the balsa.
It's a tricky job to enlarge a crack sufficiently to fill it and the result will never look perfect.
The chap who is going to do this for me asked Amel what fibre glass they had used originally but cannot get a reply.
Has anyone carried out such repairs ? if so I would be interested to hear if they have any tips as to what they used and the finish that they managed to achieve.
Ian and Judy, Pen Azen, SM 302, Kilada, Greece

Re: Super Maramu later model with a Secondary Saltwater Manifold
Mohammad Shirloo
Thank Bill for all your efforts.
Happy Sailing;
Mohammad and Aty B&B Kokomo AMEL 54 #099
From: main@AmelYachtOwners.groups.io <main@AmelYachtOwners.groups.io>
On Behalf Of CW Bill Rouse via groups.io
Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2021 8:50 AM To: main@AmelYachtOwners.groups.io Notification <main@amelyachtowners.groups.io> Subject: [AmelYachtOwners] Super Maramu later model with a Secondary Saltwater Manifold
The folks at SOFOMARIN in France (supplier to Amel for PVC manifolds for the 55, 50, & 60) and I have been working on a PVC Secondary Saltwater Manifold in PVC for late model SM's.
The original Saltwater manifold looks like this:
The Secondary Saltwater Manifold we are designed looks similar to this, but assembled by gluing and welding. In the photo below parts are taped together.
What I would like to do is to have 1 or 2 SM owners order and install the above design (see attached proforma). I am 99% sure it will work, but you never know. In case there are any issues, it would be best if an owner of a SM located in France or Europe is the first to try. The cost of the manifold complete is 437.36 euro less 15% or 371.76 euro. This includes 1 meter of 35mm wire reinforced hose to replace the secondary manifold to the primary manifold is included. That hose is hard to find.
Please let me know if you will be the first to try this.

Re: Any SM owners use a Beta engine??
Dan Wilcox
Hi Mark, I did end up moving the motor mounts. The ones closest to the "C" drive remained basically in the same place. Center pin is approximately 2" aft of "C" drive body. Both sets of new mounts are centered 18.25 inches apart. The aft (towards stern) are 39" back (on center). Forward I used the HY150, for the aft I went to the HY230 (This takes bulk of weight from engine and 24v alternator). Note: I did this install myself and in no way consider myself an expert. There is a slight vibration when idling in neutral, but smooths out completely when placed in forward or reverse. I'm guessing that is normal. Thanks Dan Feierabend SM #86

Hi Dan, Sorry to resurrect this old topic but the installation didn't go well because the fitter failed to install new engine mounts meaning that we have excessive vibration and noise. I am going to have the mounts changed. What mounts did you end up using please? I can see they are different to the originals. Were you able to put them in the same place as the old mounts without alteration? Thanks Mark -- Mark & Nicky Barter S/V Nunky SM 110

Re: SM spare halyard on main mast
Miles
Hi Bill,
For interest you are correct. Amel did change the mast top along with many other things. When I bought Ladybug, my SM 216, from Amel, they offered the extra halyard holder as an expensive option. I accepted. It was a beautifully crafted plate of stainless steel that was fitted to the top of the mast and had over hangs on the front two sides for halyard blocks. I am not at the boat now (the boat is in Le Marin. I am in Newport), but I will take a photo when I return in an two months or so if anyone is interested.
Regards,
Miles

Re: Where do you send the grey water from a washing machine?
On our SM, the washing machine grey water goes from the drain pipe to a tee in the hose that runs aft to the bilge in the engine room. It works perfectly. The washing machine you have might be different but ours does not require a fresh water pump with PSI above 30. Ian & Margaret S/V Loca Lola II SM153

Re: Fuel line exiting fuel tank
It seems you can see and access the copper line where the hose attaches. good luck!

The copper pipe runs under the starboard engine rail and is virtually invisible without removing the Yanmar's muffler and first 6 ft of exhaust hose. I was hoping someone who owns an Amel (like me) has spare fuel line and knows the measurement to save this effort.

On the Super Maramu the water of the washing machine goes into the bilge. By the way the lye will help clean the bilge. Juan de Zulueta +33680895892 sent from my Ipad. SM#32 Ophelie X

I have the same mast head on my SM#32. Using the hole at the front there is a big eye as per the picture attached on which you can put a block for a spinnaker or genaker halyard. Juan de Zulueta Ophelie X SM#32 Envoyé de mon iPhone
