Re: Possible damage from transport ships stacks. Has anyone experienced?
Dennis Johns
We shipped Libertad from Thailand to Turkey using Sevenstar and from Panama to Ensenada using United Yacht Transport. In both cases we were advised to remove all sails and canvas which we did. When the boat arrived they were indeed filthy from a combination of soot and misc soils but there was no damage because of the soils. Dennis Johns Libertad Maramu 121

Re: Dessalator fresh water rinse - leak?
You’re an excellent example. Do you leave the boat for any extended period? If so, how do you store the watermaker?

Re: Possible damage from transport ships stacks. Has anyone experienced?
Hi Porter,
Here is Tip #6 of "How to Prepare Your Boat for Transport" from the Speitloff / DYT website: "Tip #6: Protect the outside of your yacht form (sic) soot, salt, etc. with shrink wrap. If your vessel is too large to cover completely, just stick to the most vulnerable areas such as teak and non-skid surfaces. Also cover all stainless steel and chrome fittings or apply an insulator wax to this exposed metal. If possible, remove and store the windshields." They then add the sentence: "If you’re transporting a sailing yacht: Remove sails or protect them with covers..." We shipped ours from Genoa to Palm Beach with just the sails off and canvas removed. After pulling up to the freighter for loading in Genoa, we stayed on our boat for the crane lift (exciting!), then got off onto the freighter's cargo deck. We stayed for a couple of hours to button up our boat and spoke at length with the Captain, taking a look around the ship as we had contemplated taking a cabin for the crossing, which in hindsight would have been fun. Yes, every outside surface of the ship is really dirty but the exhaust is as Bill Rouse describes and not belching fiery ash. Upon arrival in Palm Beach we did have a few globs of heavy grease from the cranes but the boat was pretty clean. I recall only a few of the boats being shipped had shrink-wrap - mostly the power yachts. That our boat was clean may have been partly due to being washed off by severe thunderstorms they had on reaching Florida. Good news / bad news: the boat was clean but we had $100,000 of lightning damage from the EMF of a nearby hit (not direct). The transport insurance covered it but fully depreciates all equipment because you are no longer a "yacht", with "new-for-old" coverage, you are "marine cargo" with a "no betterment" depreciation clause. Thus, for example, all electronics, autopilot, radar, etc. were depreciated to $0.00 because they were the original Amel installed 1992 equipment, the damage was in 2015 and electronics are on a 10 year depreciation schedule. We still came out well compensated as they do cover estimated repair labor and I do all my own work. (The estimates were from Palm Beach Yacht Repair contractor$.) Caveat Emptor - They do not tell you about the depreciation when you sign up! (It may be buried in the fine print.) We happened to transit with another sailboat (similar damage - some 13 boats were hit). That boat's owner was an insurance lawyer - she verified that was indeed the case, as, like us, she had assumed the transit insurance would be the same as her yacht policy and she was not versed in the nuances of marine cargo insurance. Btw, the carrier for Speitloff/DYT is Pantaenius, who also had our regular yacht insurance. Our claim was handled very well, notwithstanding the surprise depreciation clause. Good luck with your transit. Craig

Good morning Brian, I just called my tech support which added a certificate to the site. Should be up in less than 24 hours, therefore it doesn’t make much sense that one site (nikimat.com) is safe and the new one is not…. Please let me know in 24 hours if it is better. If a future SM2K owner, I think you will enjoy the “Tour” pictures I added. Aside from very few addition from the previous owner, it is as original as you can get. Sincerely, Alexandre

Re: Dessalator fresh water rinse - leak?
Mohammad Shirloo
When we were getting familiar with Kokomo, I had discussed when the back flush was necessary with Martin at Dessalator. He stated that it is unnecessary to back flush after making water, if you intend to make more water withing the next 7 days. He mentioned that it is a waste of 25 liters of water. When we are on board, about 5-6 months every year, we almost never back flush since we only fill the tank with dessalator water, and therefore never go beyond the 7 days.
Our original membranes are still functioning fine after 12 years and almost 600 hours of water maker run time. The water made is usually below 250 PPM.
Happy Sailing;

Cheers Courtney Trippin 54 #101 -----Original Message----- Dear Amelians,today I had a wierd situation with my duo D 100.After turning it off, it did the fresh water rinse like usual, but did not stop.I checked for a leak (in the entire boat) but there is no leak and no open tap.I closed the fresh water valve for the water maker, the rinsing stops.I opened the valve, then the fresh water pump starts again (with rinsing).During the process of making water there is no problem, the fresh water pump is not running.Thus now I have to close the valve every time after using the water maker.That is possible, but not like it should be.Btw: If I open the fresh water valve for the water maker again (at least) 1 hour later, the pressure is (mostly) stable, no pump is running.

Alexandre Uster von Baar
Dear Amel owners, It is coming on 3 years NIKIMAT was lost, I am slowly moving on and eventually will use the domain name for another project. Therefore, I do not want all the illustrations to be lost, so I put them on a new site called: www.SuperMaramu2000.com (With a bit of sadness selecting the pictures) I added a “Tour” (when I took possession of the vessel and completely emptied it). Despite many information being missing, I hope future owners will enjoy the pictures, seeing the inside of the cabinets, some of the features, etc.
The links or page names will remain the same, for example: www.nikimat.com/bow_thruster_overhaul.html becomes www.supermaramu2000/bow_thruster_overhaul.html If you see dead link / missing pages, let me know (forum or direct email). Nikimat.com will stay up for sometime, but start referring the new domain name. Note: I have SuperMaramu.com for sale for $100. I still keep an eye on the forum and hope to continue to meet and see again some of you. Sincerely, Alexandre

Re: "ISOLATED GROUND" for Main engines and generators
I changed the subject of this thread. I answered Marco below. Anyone else reading this thread, please note that this mistake is commonly made by yards and mechanics changing engines. It can also happen when a mechanic "repairs" a "no-start problem." Many "no-start problems" are the result of a failed 12-volt negative solenoid, which is part of the Isolated Ground system. I know of too many situations where the mechanic by-passed this solenoid, invalidating the Isolated Ground system. Marco, no I do not have a schematic of the Amel Bonding (yellow/green wire). Also, it is important to note, that Amel refined and changed this wiring and what was connected over many years with many changes. This bonding wiring schematic was not documented in any detail until the Amel 50 manual, which seems to be very complete and designed in such a way that a novice can understand most of the detail. When discussing this with your mechanic, it may be useful to tell him that the Amel Bonding system and the Main Engine and Onan Isolated Ground (12-volt Negative) is similar to what many boat builders use when producing an aluminum boat to prevent the aluminum hull. from disintegrating from electrolysis. You will know that you have the wrong mechanic if he tells you that this is not necessary. If he installed a non-isolated ground engine, I believe that you should make changes to the 12-volt connections engine, and until you do make changes, you should maintain a good anode on the propeller as well as the rudder.

Re: Possible damage from transport ships stacks. Has anyone experienced?
I have only one experience shipping and that was through Pirate Alley and up the Red Sea. There was no ash on any of the 18 yachts on the deck of a BBC ship (German company) that had been chartered by SevenStar. I am amazed that the story you quoted included ash and smoke debris inside the yacht because the yachts are not left open. I think this marina manager has retold this story multiple times exaggerating what he is told, and maybe he has a "friend" that is a delivery captain. First, let's logically examine this: The stack is at the aft of all transport ships that I have seen and it is some unusual conditions that the wind will blow from the aft forward and down to the deck while the ship is cruising at 22kts. Secondly, a fact: The exhaust of transport ships is checked and analyzed in many ports in the world looking to collect a fine for excess carbon at a micron level. The only ships that risk this huge fine are certainly not the ships used by any legitimate operator. Thirdly, and for what it is worth, personal experience: I have spent many days and hours on the decks of cruise ships that have their stack(s) forward of the stern. The only time I ever experienced any similar situation was at a dock in Mexico where a Carnival Cruise ship was burning what smelled like garbage while tied to the dock. I saw the smoke and smelled it, but no ash. Fourth, if something like the marina manager described were to happen, SevenStar provides you with an insurance policy. Bill

Dear Bill thanks a lot for your valuable information. I will go thought with the mechanic it and I let you know.

Do you have a schemE of the SM GROUND LINE, I MEAN the cable that connect all the metallic objects on board and that end up on the rudder axis? I don’t remember if in the engine compartment the ground line exist as a wire or it is substituted by the steel frame on which is ploughed the engine and then the ground line continue as a wire in the aft cabin untill the rudder axis . On the other hand I remember that the aft keel bolt , the C transmission are connected to the engine frame. Do I remember exactly ? really thanks for your support . It will be a pleasure sailing with you in the Naples Bay . marco

Re: Possible damage from transport ships stacks. Has anyone experienced?

We have shipped many yachts around the World, superyachts and our own Amel. We have experience with top loading and float on/float off shipping.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
No matter what, cover and protect everything you can, the exhaust soot does stain the boats, so too the rust fragments from the exhaust stacks. Rust stains will be all over the gel coat.
The ships are old, have done thousands of hours at sea, they are cargo ships and thus are not spotless and or clean running.
The special shrink wrap plastic we use on all the transported yachts does leave a residue and you will need to have your yacht detailed and or very well cleaned at the destination, but it saves on the damage to the gel coat. If your bimini is in good condition
you should cover and protect it or remove it and cover the cockpit. Even remove your sails and pack them in the lazarette or inside the yacht, to be sure they are as safe as they can be.
Vacuuming down your possessions inside the yacht is also recommended. We always covered the carpets however, I have not personally experienced any interior damage, just a heap of exterior mess to clean up upon delivery to the final destination.
The shipping company are never forthcoming on telling you about the exhaust issues, unless you actually ask them.
On the Super Servant the deck crew wash down all the boats each and everyday, but they are shipping superyachts, sportsfishers and sailing boats and still you do get a dirty yacht at the end of the voyage.
Trust this helps, none of the above is second hand, as stated, we have a lot of experience with shipping yachts!! Good luck.

This is second hand so take it for what it's worth. My wife and I encountered an Amel owner in the Carib 7-8 years ago who had shipped their boat and suffered tremendous damage from smokestack ash throughout the entire boat (inside and out). It had been unfortunately positioned downwind of the ship's exhaust for 3 weeks. The boat was permeated with soot....they claimed even inside the compass (which I find not believable) but they were knee deep in litigation. Sorry for painting this image for you.

Possible damage from transport ships stacks. Has anyone experienced?

Ladies and Gents.
A quick question if you would. We’re in the midst of shipping our Amel out of NZ with Sevenstar. Incidentally the delivery skipper encountered the marina manager who relayed multiple horror stories of transport ship’s smokestack ash and embers causing severe burns to sails, canvas sailboat decks etc. Needless to say I was taken aback. This was never discussed in our pregame !!! Has anyone else encountered such issues? I’d really appreciate any input. Many thanks. Porter A54-152. Excuse the errors.
