I'm wondering if your machine drum froze in place and refuses to turn by hand - if so, I may have the fix for you.

You do realize that Yahoo! strips out email addresses from the body of postings. Only the first few letters of each email address are visible to readers of your postings, so it is impossible to determine your new email address or your text-only email address.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Maramu and Santorin ceiling padding deterioration
amelforme
Hello Mr. Stonier,
The change from synthetic foam backing that fails with heat cycling to 100% cotton/felt backing which doesn't, occurred on all boats built after September 1, 1992. If you search this sites archives, there are some postings on this problem. Good luck, Joel F. Potter, AMEL 54, hull # 14 - HOLLIS

Maramu and Santorin ceiling padding deterioration
restlessmen <john.stonier@...>
I am in search of a SM or Santorin and I understand that after 10-12
years the ceiling foam padding deteriorates due to the heat and requires a total replacment of the lining which Amel charges Euro 12,000 for. Can anyone corfirm this, and from what date and build number, particularily on the Santorin, is this no longer a problem. Presumably Amel used a different material from then on. Is there a cheaper fix for this ? Are there any other maintenance issues I should be particularily aware of while looking for a used Santorin ? Many Thanks, john Stonier

Chain Counter Problem
Ian Shepherd <ocean53@...>
I have been having an intermittent problem with my chain counter readout.
Suddenly it stops working, usually after the boat has been hosed down with fresh water. Given a day in the sun, it works normally again. I have checked the wiring and it is completely dry and corrosion free, and professionally sealed. However, on the left side of the black coloured sensor that is attached to the windlass, there are two uncovered holes, which I suspect may be where water is getting in and causing the trouble. Can anyone tell me whether these holes are covered over on their boat, maybe with rubber bungs? The forward hole has an orange plastic surface behind it, but the other hole has what looks like Alan screws or something similar. Maybe these holes are left uncovered for a good reason? Any thoughts? Ian Shepherd SM 414 Crusader

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] THROUGHT HULL FOR FISH FINDER
Roger Banks <roger.banks@...>
The fishfinder transponder needs to be located more or less forward
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
of the keel and pointing straight down rather than perpendicular to the shape of the hull (otherwise the depth inaccuracy due to the offset can be quite material). Being a single skin hull, even though quite thick, the reception of signal is quite clear, so a thru-hull may not be necessary. If mounted internally, the transponder needs to be glued to the hull with a rigid compound like epoxy, not a flexible material which would absorb signal. Before, gluing, test the position by placing the transponder in water, and we found that a plastic bag filled with water and placed over the top of it worked well. Regards, Roger, Zorba, Mango 28

Hi Thomas,
Check with Complete Yacht Service in Fort Lauderdale (954) 462-6977, the local Perkins dealer.

Lauderdale and need to replace the manifold and oil cooler. It appears so far that the only source of parts for the engine, Perkins Prima 80T, are from UK. The parts are close to the price of a new engine. I was wondering if anyone has repowered here in Ft. Lauderdale, what engine they used, and a reputable yard to do the work. If anyone knows of a rebuilt or surplus engine locally that would be even better. Thanks for any assistance. Thomas --------------------------------- Groups are talking. We´re listening.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Looking for a Super Maramu 2000; available Spring 2007
jboucharla@...
Hello Charlie and Ruth,
So you are stepping ashore! I have eventually sold my own SM last week and she is on her way to Sweden where her new owner lives. The second hand market hasn't been too good over the past two or three years but owning a "2000", as opposed to a regular SM, should be of some help. If you contemplate selling in Europe I would recommend that you contact Michel Charpentier, whom you may already know. He has been specializing in Amels for years and is both very competent and pleasant. All the best Jean
