Hi Peter,
Yes i have a 55kg Spade, and i am very happy with it.

Yes, i know it´s big but i´m into "when your neighbors starts laughing , then it´s big enough". Now the tricky question, does it fit? Has anyone experience or have seen such on a 54? I did come across a pic which looks like a 44 or even 55Kg on a 54, Amanin (see below). When browsing the forum i see that Mr Halidun Karagoz has been around here and maybe still is.

Rub Rail insert
Patrick McAneny
I contacted Maud about buying a new rub rail insert ,she cannot provide an estimate for shipping. We are thinking it may be much more than we first estimated. Has anyone had the inserts shipped to the US., and tell us what the shipping cost were. The inserts are less than $900. I fear the shipping could be more than that.
Thank You, Pat SM Shenanigans

Re: Buying a Sharki
marklesparkle59
Three problems I am addressing on Sharki#96 right now are the headlinings and the bulkhead in the aft cabin. The 9mm bulkhead rots because water gets in between the plywood and the fibreglass of the cockpit, from the pocket behind the Mizzen in my case. First signs were a dark patch in the middle of the bulkhead. The water sits in hollow pockets, I think for years. Headlinings have been discussed on the forum recently and can be kept up with batons. I am replacing mine with a softer fabric and adding 5mm of insulation. The wind, depth and speed electronics, (B and G hornet 4) has expired after 36 years. The gelcoat on the deck will need attention . Mark Porter Sea Hobo Sharki#96 Sent from my Samsung device

Re: Buying a Sharki
Once you have a good once over for general condition (pay attention to how it is kept) be sure to focus on drive shaft thru- hulls mast and rig. Mine looked great and I knew what I needed to replaced from the onset. The general condition will give you clues where to focus. Caveat Emptor as they say Bon chance Aras Sharki # 163

Re: SM2000 - Have you replaced your dishwasher by a fridge/freezer?
#galley
We ”replaced” our dishwasher, I built a freezer using polystyrene panels 10 cm in the sides, 15 cm in the bottom, in the top we used 13 cm. Total volume about 40 liters. As liner we used a ca 1 mm Polyethylene sheet that was easily formed with a heat gun. the compressor is cooled by circulating the freshwater, works excellent. Have not measured the energy it draws, but we notice that the compressor runs significant less time than the compressor for the front opening fridge. Temperature in the freezer around -10 C, can easily be down to -18 if one so wishes Paul on SY Kerpa SM #259 -- Skickat från Gmail Mobile

We are not using our dishwasher which is just taking space.
Have you replaced your dishwasher by a fridge/freezer? or something else? Any experience greatly appreciated Thanks Dominique Guenot sv Viva #374 Papeete, French Polynesia

Re: Beam IV : A55 ; Bonaire , [AmelYachtOwners] A55: fresh water pump system
The air pressure to the accumulator tank should be about 10-15% less than the pump cutoff pressure as noted on the pressure gauge of the water pump.

I ‘l follow that protocol , thank you . Bill’’s suggestion is really useful I’l follow up on that & report back. Good too to have the further suggestion which we’ll keep in mind . There should be plenty of bicycle pumps on this Dutch island... Stuart

Re: A55: fresh water pump system
Yes, the lack of flow is caused by a lack of sufficient pressure. In my experience, the lack of pressure can be caused by:
6 & 7 will probably result in zero pressure and no loss of freshwater 8 & 9 can result in no pressure to partial pressure with no loss of freshwater 10 will probably not be your issue because you said the pump is running constantly with insufficient pressure Stuart, the reason I did not go into detail in my first response is that you did not mention any loss of freshwater. The accumulator tank allows your freshwater pump to cycle less and have longer non-running periods. The tank allows for the accumulation of water pressure because of an expandable internal bladder which is supported by air pressure on one side. If/when the internal bladder fails or air pressure supporting the bladder reduces, the pump will cycle more often. I hope this clarification helps. I am sure that you understand the accuracy of remote diagnosis, especially with limited information. Best,

Re: A55: fresh water pump system
Paul Stascavage
Stuart,
Welcome to the forum my good friend. You will find a wealth of information here as well as some incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and helpful people. Just an FYI. It is best if you include your boat name, model, hull number and location below your signature line. This information will assist those who respond as there are variations among models and hull numbers. Additionally, knowing your location someone can often suggest services of suppliers or contractors in your area.

Re: Headliner fix
Mark Barter
Our 1993 Super Maramu has the same fix except that the battens are white. It looks like it was tedious process to fit but the result is perfectly acceptable. I am not near the boat at the moment so I can't post a photo.

Re: Bonding and grounding on Maramu
Hi Matt,
I don't think that's right. Our ICOM setup, setup according to the installation instructions, has a heavy green yellow/wire from the SSB ground connection to the AT130 tuner. Then there is a heavy green/yellow wire from the AT130 tuner to the bolt connection in the lazarette which has copper tape connecting that bolt to the sintered bronze plates on the skeg. If you don't connect it like this , where does the ground for the SSB transmitter go? ... certainly NOT to the bonding system. In our ICOM SSB, the transmitter ground is internally connected to the 12V negative supply line, hence the need for an isolated power supply so that there is no connection between ground and 24V negative, which would compromise the bonding system via the seawater path between the sintered bronze plate and the anodes.

Re: Headliner fix
Mike Longcor (SV Trilogy)
Hi Chip,
Trilogy (1990 SM23) needed a fix for its failing headliner when I bought her in November 2017. First attempt was to remove all the old, toxic junk between the vinyl and fiberglass. It was a brutal task and a serious health risk as Joel makes clear. We tried 3M headliner adhesive spray hoping it would stick with the disintegrating foam layer removed. We tried this in just the bow first. It didn't last more than a month. The solution we ended up with was 1.25" wide x 0.25" thick strips of wood screwed into the ceiling about 1 foot apart. The wood we found was from an old wooden boat (marine quality and a good color match after some new varnish). We used this solution everywhere and it's holding up very well. Only if you reach up and touch the vinyl can you tell it's not really attached. I hesitated doing this at first because I wanted an original look and didn't want to put all those screws into the boat. Looking back, I wish I skipped the torture experiment in the bow and went with the wood strips first. There are other ways to tackle this issue, but these strips saved us a lot of time and money. Stay safe! Cheers, Mike Longcor SV Trilogy SM23 Opua, NZ

Re: A55: fresh water pump system
Stuart, There could be several possible issues, but I suspect that if you are not losing water and only losing water pressure, there is a problem with the one-way valve on the freshwater pump. This valve is important to build pressure. When it is leaking, defective or blocked by debris, the pressure will not build and water pumped by the freshwater pump will return to the tank. The one-way valve is a brass fitting on the output of the freshwater pump. It looks like a simple brass connector, but inside is a valve. The photo below isn't your exact setup, but similar. I suggest finding the one-way valve and removing it for inspection. You did not say where you are located, but many plumbing shops will have this valve. Again, everything above is based on the fact that you dod not say that you are losing water and that the pump is running continuously with some pressure on an outlet close to the pump. There could be several other possibilities...the above is my guess based on what you wrote.

Being a newcomer to the Amel Yacht Owners Group I am not sure yet how to post a question and so I hope you don’t mind uf I address it to you. We have a lack of pressure in the two bathrooms and the fresh water pump runs continuously except when turned off on tbe 24v board. There seems to be plenty of pressure on the transom shower. Might there be a filter in the pump or a pressure switch at fault? Stuart
