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

To anyone interested, I am selling my 1981 Maramu, hull #91. The boat
is fully equipt for blue water sailing. The boat will be pulled for
bottom paint and zinks the first week in May, so you can save money on
the survey if you are serious! The boat is in good condition and is
currently located in the Hudson River, 30 miles north of New York City.
If you have questions e-mail me at sidecar1@verizon.net. The asking
price is $159,500.

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!!)

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

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.

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.

Hi Lynda,
Can you give me some idea of the price and age etc. of the 53 you sold, whether VAT paid etc. so I can check my insurance
as no one answered my earlier posting seeking help before I over or under insured my 2001 SM.

Best wishes, John

Hi Chris
I have recently sold an Amel 53 and am looking something smaller.
Can you advise what price she is for sale at. Also forward details of her general condition, location in Spain etc.
I am currently in Malaga.

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.

I believe that is the one that Amel is now using.
