wastegate regulates pressure, be careful or you will
launch the head through the engine room hatch. Of course you can water or propane inject a diesel and as long as the head bolts hold up you can keep cranking out horses but I worry about the 90 degree gear box that is the amel drive. --- agav8ter <agav8ter@yahoo.com> wrote: Hello all, __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

As the SUPER MARAMU has an IRON keel (not steel! Iron) the absolute most important parts of any repair/refinishing is to be sure the solvents in the new coatings don't "melt" the old coatings, cut into the old coatings until there is solid adhesion of the old coatings to the keel, and MOST IMPORTANT, apply the solvent wash and the primer within minutes of blasting/grinding the metal clean and bright. Not within an hour as the directions say, minutes. The reason is iron starts to oxidize in air immediately. Even some micro-oxidation will make your re-coating job fail early. I know from sad experience that this is true. Blast/grind, solvent wash, coat. As quick as you can do it. Get helpers.

Found: Missing RPM (pardon if repeat)
Ag Av8ter
Hello all,
Been a while since I have been able to get on the web. A while back I was asking if everyone that had the Volvo TMD22 and the Amel Autoprop had trouble getting their engines to rev up to the published max RPM in the manual. Well I found my missing RPM, and it was not the prop (although I still think that the prop is overpitched for the engine. I removed the turbo and of course it was plugged solid with carbon and "coke". I soaked the exhaust side in brake fluid for three days and then got a wrench on the intate side of the turbine wheel and dtarted to work it back and forth. After about 30 minutes of this the wheels where loose enoung to spin freely. I put it all back together and took WORLD CITIZEN out for a spin. Results: before max RPM 1800, after max 3,000. I feel that if I adjust the wastegate actuator I could get more RPM and power. Speed went from about 6 kts to a measured 8.6 kts. I am very pleased!! Of course, now I will start complaining about the increased fuel consuption!!! Downside .... after I put it together and decided to run it, I left the heat shield off so I could better watch for leaks. Then I took her out to sea and ran her hard. Of course as I came back to my mooring at a sedate idle all was well until I went to put her in neutral. Opps, not neutral, no reverse. The shifting cable had layed back across the hot side of the turbo and melted itself. Oh well at least I was going slow and did not hit anyone or burn myself!!! Enjoy your Amel's, Tony WORLD CITIZEN SM #266

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Question and advise

Vito,

Vito, I am glad you found it. When I leave the boat for a few weeks I do the following: I turn of the main seacock and remove the cover from the sea strainer. I then put a fresh water hose in the sea strainer and run the following gear. Main engine Generator Both heads Air conditioner Anchor wash This leaves fresh water in all equipment. I am sure this adds longevity to the equipment and reduces the smell in the heads. Fair Winds, Eric Amel Super Maramu #376 Kimberlite

Hi Eric
Thanks for the info. I found the breaker, it was driving me nuts. We are still in New Zealand will start to look for a weather window in the next few weeks to make our way to Fiji. If you leave your boat for a while what works well is putting some blue head liquid in the water manifold and flushig each toilet untill blue comes out. I have left the boat for months like this with no smell.

Then if you look at were the hose connects on to thea larger hose that is attached to the holding tank. It is mucheasier and neater if you disconnect the larger hose where it is attachedto the holding tank and pull the hose out from the top. I have doneit both ways and this is much easier.

Re: muffler question
asm283 <no_reply@...>
Hello
On my boat asm 2000 # 283 the intake side of the muffler is 90mm and the exaust is 75mm. I tried to retrofit a vetus but I did not like the way it fit into the engine room. The main problem was the intake side only swiveled to 90 degrees. I ordered a replacement from Amel. I am in New Zealand so the choices I had may not be as good as what you can get in Europe. Good luck Vito Ciaravino --- In amelyachtowners@yahoogroups.com, "manfred_gans" <gomer2000@...> wrote: type. The engine is Volvo/Perkins TMD 22 P

Some of the paint has come off the keel of Kimberlite and shows bare steel.
What should I do to prepare this for anti fouling paint? Fair Winds, Eric Amel Super Maramu #376 Kimberlite

The breaker for my inflator is over the mid ships bunk beneath the starboard electric winch. I found that the head hoses get smelly if you do not flush the toilets a lot and leave nothing but salt water in them. Where are you now? Fair Winds, Eric

muffler question
Franz Gans
Hi,
I want to change my (coroded) satinless steel muffler to a Vetus type. The engine is Volvo/Perkins TMD 22 P Unfortunately I forgot measuring the diameter of the exhaust elbow, when I was maintainig the boat in Greece, two weeks ago. Can anyone tell me the size? Or even better the model number of the recomended Vetus type and any installation tips. By the way, maintainig the turbo was easy to do, and the turbo was filled up with carbon and coroded.
