Today I replaced my teak passerelle steps with this plastic teak like
material. The material was 1x 4" worked perfectly. I had this material on my last boat and it held up a lot better than teak. They cut grooves in the material at the factory. Took less time to make the steps than refinishing the teak material. Fair Winds, Eric Amel Super Maramu #376 www.plasteak.com\ <http://www.plasteak.com/>

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Maramou, freshwater under fwd head
Roger Banks <roger.banks@...>
Hi Mike

You're reminding me now of some more detail. Our shipwright had to take out the shower tray and renew the inner layer of the double skin bulkhead from the shower tray downwards. At that stage we were attributing the compression post rot to shower activity dampness working its way down the side of the shower tray. Maybe it was a combination of factors. I recommend you do some testing of the post and bulkhead with a screwdriver blade without delay. We did not have to take down the mast, however. A couple of acro-props were used to bridge the load of the mast down to the hull while the compression post and bulkhead were cut away. Whilst it all sounds rather frightening, it proved to be a fairly straightforward job for a competent shipwright and not too expensive, circa $2000 Australian. Regards, Roger, Mango 28, Zorba

Mike Gough <mahili_au@...>
G,day Roger,
Thankyou for info, design under main mast sounds the same and I think water ingress from base of mast is most likely as was the case for your Mango. I have noticed water draining into the head by way of a special water trap as you described but this goes into the shower bay. The walls are lined with the usual Amel vinyl lining and I am wondering if somehow water could be moving down between the vinyl and wall proper? I think I may have to consider lifting the mast one day to resolve. Incidentally, I managed to mis spell the model name. Should be Maramu! Thanks again, Mike Gough Roger Banks <roger.banks@mac.com> wrote: Hi Mike I've had the same problem with my Mango no. 28 (the direct precursor of the SM). We had rot in the compression post under the main mast which our surveyor did not find. The problem did not become clear at first (i) because the forward well also houses the water speed transponder which leaks a few cups of water each time the transponder is put in or pulled out, and (ii) the plumbing to the basin in the forward head was leaking when under pressure and needed pretty much all the clips tightening (you may want to check this). However, water kept pooling in that same place. After some months of ownership and following the repairs, a guest spotted, when it was raining, a small line of water coming down from the mast, through the small hatch where (on the Mango at least) the mast lighting switch box can be opened to reveal cables coming down the mast, on down the compression post and into the forward well. I'm told by the shipwright who made the repairs that water down the mast is a fairly common problem and difficult to arrest, and he had applied a good amount of glass around the base of the compression post to waterproof it for that reason. I've tried as follows. I found an inspection of the mast revealed few obvious holes; any found may be sealed with a small amount of marine Sikaflex. This made virtually no difference and I was left puzzling how else water would enter the mast. I've recently put a fillet of Sikaflex around the base of the mast where it sits on the step, because it looks like some of the water running down the outside of the mast may find its way through the coachroof via the step. This has reduced the flow but I'm still looking. For the time being, I'm reluctant to block the mast completely with a filler for obvious reasons of future access. I have a similar issue with the mizzen, where we also had to repair extensive rot in the compression box system which conveys the forces through to the bulkhead. I notice water is still seeping through and drips down at the aft end of the engine room, directly beneath the mast. I cannot see yet how this is happening but I'm on the case. Good luck and do keep in touch about it.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like a very good idea to me to increase options of point of sail and to save wear on the genoa. Glad to hear it can be easily rigged on this model boat. Judy

Maramou, freshwater under fwd head
Mike Gough <mahili_au@...>
G,day all,
We own Maramou # 147, and I wish to warn owners who may face this problem: after heavy rain we find fresh water in the hold under the fwd head. (Still unable find where it leaks in). The consequence of this leak can be disasterous. I found fresh water to have caused dry rot to form at the base of the compression post and centre bulkhead. It was a huge job to cut out affected areas and replace! If anyone has an idea of where to look for the leak I would be appreciative.

NMEA 0183
hns154es <hns154es@...>
Dear Richard, Gottschalk and John
Thanks to all of you for helping us, to connect NMEA of the B&G Hydra 2 to the other instruments. Once you know how it works, it is easy: As a resume of all your infos: The NMEA FFD is used to connect the Hydra 2 system to a NMEA device. To do this, the NMEA FFD has a 9 core cable of which brown, blue and violet are used for NMEA. NMEA Input Signal - Brown NMEA Input Return - Blue NMEA Output Signal - Violet NMEA Output Ground - Black Safe sailing to all of you und immer eine handbreit Wasser unter dem Kiel :-) Hanspeter & Nathalie Wehrli Sm #158 "NatHape" http://nathape.sailingsite.org

Hallo Hanspeter,
die Formatierung der letzten mail hat nicht geklappt, daher diesmal die Belegung im Anhang!! ist eigentlich kein Problem. Ich bin leider nicht an bord und erinnere mich nicht genau. Es gibt entweder beim FFD oder am "Computer" einen Ausgang mit NMEA Ich glaube es war am FFD ?? ;-)) In der Betriebsanleitung ist das ersichtlich. Ich habe alles (GPS, Radar, Autopilot Bedienteil, Autopilot Raytheon Computer, B&G und Notebook über einen Multiplexer vernetzt. Das kann aber etwas Probleme machen und die Übertragungsrate wegen der vielen Daten ausbremsen. Hier in der Anlage die Belegung des FFD. damit sollte eigentlich alles klar sein (im Anhang). Es macht natürlich keinen Sinn die Daten eines Gerätes, die im Multiplexer mit anderen zusammengefügt werden wieder an das Ausgangsgerät zu schicken!! Da muß man ev. am Multiplexer die Daten-Eingänge und Ausgänge umprogrammieren, so daß nur die richtigen Daten zum jeweiligen Gerät kommen. Oder man nimmt eine direkte Verbindung vom sendenden Gerät zum empfangenden unter Umgehung des Multiplexers. An einem Datenausgang können sicher zwei bis drei Geräte angeschlossen werden.
