have your order and remember they do NOT accept AmEx for payment..

Embee striper #1100
John and Anne on Bali Hai <annejohn@...>
Hello Eric,
I failed as well so googled the above heading and got some hits. Try www.misterart.com They do both the sinle and the double line model. They are in Houston and their toll free no is 800-721-3015. They will not ship outside the US so were no good to me. Good luck this time, John SM 319

After Sales Support
Patrick McAneny
I have e-mailed the Amel After Sales Support twice over the last 2
weeks ordering parts and requesting information. I have not heard back from them after requesting confirmation of my order. I used the following e-mail address, sav@amel.fr to place the order. Does Amel After Sales respond to these e-mails with confirmation? I purchased my Amel just a few months ago and this is my first experience with ordering parts. Is there some other method I need to use to contact Amel to order parts? Thanks for any help. Pat Shenanigans SM #123

Re: deck striping
rbenven44 <no_reply@...>
Hi Eric,
I'm sorry, I can't remember the size of the wheel I used! And I've since given the set to another Amel owner (in France) who has used it to do his decks. But I found that a wheel half the width of the deck grooves is just right. You do one pass using the right edge of the groove as a guide, then another pass using the left edge as a guide, and you're done. The two stripes you lay down just overlap in the middle of the groove. If you try to use a wheel that's as wide as the groove, you'll find that it puts down too much paint, plus the grooves aren't uniform in width. By the way, the striper comes with a guide (a metal rod sticking out the front), which just gets in the way. I removed it prior to striping. The unit you ordered is for double stripes. It might work if you don't use a spacer between the two wheels. Try to find a single line striper with interchangeable wheels, if they sell one. I ended up with the kit because I wasn't sure what size wheel to use. Once I found the best one, I never used the other wheels. (But I don't remember which one I used!!)

Galley sink debris strainer
Back in January Ian & Judy on Pen Azen posted a note on how they solved
the problem on preventing debris from entering the bilge from the galley and head sinks. Another method that I'm trying involves using a 'leaf catcher' that's installed right below the galley sink drain. I purchased it at Pinch a Penny pool supply store for $35.99. The unit is clear lexan so you can see what's collected and the o-ring gasketed top is easy to open to remove the basket for cleaning. I've posted a couple of photos in the folder "Sink Strainer".

Dolphin Battery Chargers and Embee Striper No 1100
John and Anne on Bali Hai <annejohn@...>
I have a 30amp plus a 50amp charger. They are It seems to me programmed
sso that the 30 should be turned on first and the other after a minute od so to let the charge rate stabilise. The 50amp one does not take the volts up to 28.8 and indeed does nothing much once the volts reach about 27 whereas the 30amp one will take them up to 28.6. At one time Amel told me that the output can be increased by carefully scraping the red locking varnish off the left hand trimmer in the middle and near the bottom of the board and turning it clockwise to increase the volts. I tried this and broke the trimmer...perhaps I should have asked a technician to replace the trimmer in the first place. The chargers are standard models altered to meet Amel's spec. I sent mine back to the Reya's factory in the south of France and asked them to repair it and also to change it back to the standard spec. which they did and all has been well since. The contact is an Irish girl whose name is Lucy Kelly lucy.kelly at reya.com Eric, After spending a long time Googling I have found a supplier for the striper. contact louatantiqueboat.com and specify Embee Striper Model No 1100 for $29.99.

Re: question on the SM engine vent loop
rbenven44 <no_reply@...>
Hi John,
Sounds right to me. The water comes out of the engine exhaust loop, not the generator exhaust. It is meant to reassure you that the intake seacock is open and that the impeller is working, without having to look over the side at the exhaust. Your observations are consistent with my experience.

Hi John,
With great interest I followed your experience with the "Algae-X Fuel Filter". It sounds terrific! However, after studying the respective web-page I still have no clue what size unit I will need for my SM 143. Would you be so kind to help me? Thank you in advance.

question on the SM engine vent loop
john martin <symoondog@...>
Can anyone tell me how much, if any, water is normally supposed to come out of the little pipe that vents out of the engine room from the top of the anti siphon loop above the engine, and vents/drains into the cockpit drain area just forward of the line locker for the mizzen mast ? When my engine is idling a very small amount of water comes out, and when I push the rpm above 2000 rpm, quite a lot of water comes out. When I run just the generator alone, no water comes out.

2 topics: Algae-X and the SM aft cabin vanity
john martin <symoondog@...>
Id like to thank the gentleman on this net who wrote a few years ago about installing an Algae-X fuel filter in his SM to eliminate the constant black streak problem from the engine exhaust. I bought one a year ago and have not had to clean the side of the boat since. I dont know how it works, but you just install it and forget about it, absolutely no maintenance. The best $170 I ever spent !
I also want to offer a belated response to emails some time ago about the aft cabin vanity. We never used the vanity and it occupies a lot of volume so we decided to make a cabinet out of it. See photos on this site in our folder Moon Dog. The little seat removes very easily (and can be reinstalled easily as well). We put one shelf inside, made of 16 deep household variety plastic coated wire shelving) that rests on the conduit ridge molded into the hull and is screwed to the existing bulkheads. The cabinet front is just a pices of varnished mahogany plywood, with 2 doors similar in style to the Amel doors (although we need to stain the edging dark to match the rest of the boat). We left the carpet in and the cabinet front is screwed in on each side through the existing bulkheads. All our improvements can be easily removed if needed. My wife loves it as it is a large cabinet that can hold bulky items such as linens, blankets, and many, many pairs of shoes as well. We also installed some very simple book bars in the cabin cubbyholes. We got tired of all the books dumping out whenever we had a somewhat rolly passage ! See photos on this site in our folder.

Re: hot water
Ken & Judy <goldendaze@...>
I replaced the old water heater with the 11 gal. Force 10.
You can have Chuck at Sailorman order one if he doesn't have it in stock. It is 110V and engine heated. SS outside box, with aluminum tank. It is also higher and shorter, thus giving space between the heater and generator for storage. The existing hoses from the Perkins reached, with no modification. I put a epoxied plywood base to sit it on. Because of the height, I had to cut and pop rivet one corner of the ss outside box to wiggle it into the space. Whether engine or 110v water will still be quite warm the next morning. At the dock we usually only turn it on in the morning and maybe a bit in evening, rather that leave it on all the time. A big improvement over original. We also used the Force 10 three burner stove, although you have to do some cutting to get it to fit. Also much better than the old stove.

Hi,
I also just replaced my hotwater maker by a isotemp heater. Amel Hyeres did recommend this type and I have red a product evaluation where that came out as best product. I think that is acutally one of the best you can find. Best Regards Paul SM 227 --- In amelyachtowners@yahoogroups.com, eric <kimberlite@...> wrote: required.
