Yanmar 4JH3HTE engine for sale
eric freedman
Hi, I am selling my 4JH3HTE Yanmar engine late April. It runs perfectly. There is no damage to the engine. About 6500 hours. Turbo 2 years old as are the injectors nozzles. Burns ½ quart of oil every 24 hours of continuous running.
It will be in St Maarten, however I can ship it anywhere. It will be sold without the alternators. The engine has been completely rewired.
If you are interested in discussing please contact me at kimberlite@... Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

Bill, it's totally fine with me to share the file I created for the AC install we did in 2017 on Loca Lola II. Everything continues to run well. We are very happy with the equipment choices we made. Ian & Margaret S/V Loca Lola II SM153 Bahamas

Re: A54 bow thruster directly to battery or through main switches?
James Alton
Arno,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
No problem at all, thanks for taking the time to help answer my question about the service disconnect switch on your A54. As you correctly point out my bow thruster is a 12V model so the amp draw at the same power is 2X. I believe my bow thruster motor is only about 4.2KW so the amp draw should be similar to yours. I am bringing a Fluke clamp meter to my boat this winter to see if I can better pin down the draw. I sent an email to the manufacturer of the switch to see if they felt that it would work in my application. I want to be sure that the switch would open in an emergency if there were a short in the bow thruster circuit. I like the wide separation of the contacts of this switch which makes me think that this switch might work in such an emergency so long as the contacts did not weld together! Best, James SV Sueno Maramu #220 I believe that this is the original engine service disconnect switch for my Maramu so 32 years old. This is how the contacts looked before I cleaned them up. If you look carefully at the center of the left hand portion of the switch, there is a hole/bearing that the shaft inserts into a hole. This is where the Phenolic had cracks. This caused the shaft to not center correctly so the contacts probably were not mating perfectly. This could explain the reason that "exercising" the switch can sometimes restore function. The problem in my case was apparently this mechanical issue in the switch rather than being corrosion or burning of the contact surfaces which has been the case on almost every other switch failure I have investigated. To open the switch, I just had to carefully open the tabs that were pressed in on each side.

Ulrich I have the repair kit somewhere on my boat. I plan to replace my counter top. but if I can find the repair kit, I will take a pic and send the info on where to order. It was ordered in the UK. it is a two part epoxy type repair kit. I will get looking for it, Cheers, Randall A-54 #56

Re: rub rail insert
Patrick McAneny
Gary, I don't understand the cost of $2686. for the insert/scupper ,Maud quoted me about $798. Euro . I agree a painted boat is much easier to keep clean and shiny. The paint is not porous like the gelcoat ,thus does not hold stains. I will use your time for labor to install the scuppers to negotiate a better price before submitting to my insurance company.
Thanks,
Pat

The material, including shipping (air freight) to Puerto Rico was $,2686 US. Removal of the original scupper is very quick (easily less than one hour), I wasn't present when they inserted the new scupper but did see it done to Liahona's sister boat, "Cloud Street" (Hull # 333 I believe) done a few weeks after my boat was done. I would estimate that it took two workers about 4 hrs per side to install the new scupper material.
Sorry for thread creep: Following hurricane repairs my hull, boot stripe, rub rail, and toe rail (including all hatch surrounds and hatch areas that were matching color) were painted with multiple coats of epoxy primer followed by multiple coats (5 as I recall) of Awlcraft. It was explained and demonstrated to me that re-gel coating damaged areas would lead to excessive porosity and poor outcome. It was further explained to me that Awlcraft was easier to repair than Awlgrip and that is why it was recommended to me. It looks great and my boat maintenance has decreased since I don't have to wax the toe rail and rub rail every couple of months. I choose Awlgrip for my deck-stripe repaint due to it being harder and more abrasion resistant. All the best, Gary S Silver s/v Liahona Amel SM 2000 # 335 Puerto Del Rey Marina, Puerto Rico

ZF25M shifting problem
Hello Amelians,
does anyone already have the problem that the shifting of the ZF25M gearbox is very difficult? It has occurred and the boat has not been used.
Would be grateful someone knows the problem so that I can initiate the necessary measures from a distance. The Morse switch is checked and maintained.
Thank you very much
Arnold

Thanks for the reply Herbert.
I’m new to this job and still unsure exactly how the alignment tool works. Could you give a brief description perhaps? Also any idea of the model of engine mounts? Thanks..

Adding Air Conditioning to '94 SM #117
Steve Bode
Hey, Friends,
I found a 'sponsor' who wants me to add air conditioning to Intention. Is this completely insane? I couldn't find anyone in the forum who's done it. Seems like it would be easier to buy a new boat! At first blush, it looks like I need to do the following: - Buy three AC/Heater units, aft, cabin and forward compartments, cause the heater units that are currently installed there will be replaced - Drill six holes in the hull and add through-hulls and valves, hose to connect the units, Do other boats pull sea water from another inlet like the toilet or something? - what about seawater pumps? Are they needed? What about sea strainers? - Buy 90˚ hard-plastic pipes that go on the end of the units - buy some kinda ducting to feed the cool air into a vent somehow - Build mounting plates and securing bolts to keep the units in place - Figure out how to get 220v to the units - Run control wire up to a thermostat and figure out how to mount that thing. - Add a switch to the 220v control panel that somehow turns off all three units?! Anyone done this? Would you recommend I fake a major injury instead of take this on? -- Steve Bode Capt.

Re: Bow thruster seals
Stephen Davis
Earlier in this thread, Jose Venegas of S/V Ipanema references a prior post in which he posted photos showing his silicone bow thruster seals installed. We’re in the middle of installing the seals now, and searched high and low for his prior post. For those who follow and want to see it, it’s located here and does indeed show the seals installed.

Re: A54 bow thruster directly to battery or through main switches?
James Alton
Bill,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
This is very interesting since the service disconnect switch looks very similar to the Ecans Soderep S190 installed on my Maramu. I recently ordered a replacement from Amel for my original engine disconnect switch that looks identical to my original switch. I was having engine starting problems that I traced to an excessive voltage drop at the engine disconnect switch. Not having a spare aboard at the time, I opened up the switch expecting to find burned contacts but actually they are in almost perfect shape. The problem stemmed from the phenolic breaking around the bearing surface supporting the handle shaft which caused the contacts to sometimes not line up properly. Some epoxy restored the function of the switch and we used it without trouble for the rest of last season. I am mentioning this because I have read that others have had problems from these switches at times and at least in my case the issue was repairable and the switch is not hard to open. I will of course now install the new switch and keep the old one as a spare. It would be great if I could install a third switch like this for just the bow thruster loads. Would you by chance know the exact model of the switch shown in your photo? I would also be interested to know either the wattage/horsepower rating of the Amel 54 bow thruster to estimate the amperage draw to compare to mine. My Maramu has the bow thruster wired directly to the batteries which means that regardless of the switch position the circuit is hot. I would very much like to install a reliable service disconnect switch along with a fuse to better protect this circuit. I considered the S190 but was concerned about the 250-300 Amp continuous rating shown by the manufacturer. The peak load of this switch is however 10X higher so maybe it is sufficient due to the short duration of use? Would anyone know if this model switch would be sufficient for the approximate 4-500 amps that my bow thruster should draw at 12V? I am bringing a clamp meter to the boat soon to get a more accurate measurement. Thanks, James

Re: A54 bow thruster directly to battery or through main switches?
Hi Scott, On our 54 only the shore-chargers are directly connected to the batteries. Everything else is routed via the switch, excluding the battery monitor on the 24 volt panel.
