Re: Head sail furling
Hi all, Happy 2019!!!
We finally got away from the Chesapeake just before Christmas. Now in Lake Worth to visit friends. Our jib furler failed to hold while shortening sail in 20kts of wind. The motor turns but sounds like the gears are grinding. After a few turns it gives and the sail unfurls. I just bought a new line for manually furling, 150’ of 3/8” StaSet. It doesn’t hold the sail furled part way, the line slips in the drum. We managed to get it furled (loosely) completely, by augmenting the manual furling line with short bursts of the motor. I think the gears are stripped or out of alignment. Does anyone know of a place in Palm Beach or Ft Lauderdale that might be able to do repairs? If not, will 7/16” line hold better on the furling drum until we can get to Amel Caraibes? Any other suggestions or thoughts? I don’t want to disassemble the gearbox unless I’m pretty sure I can complete repairs before heading out again. Thanks in advance for any help, Kent & Iris Kristy SM 243

Rough engine at idle
smiles bernard
Hello fellow amelians
In the canaries our engine purred nicely When we arrived in the Cape Verde’s it was a little rough on idle On first running since the roughish Atlantic crossing (40-45kts during last 5 days) its even rougher still I have a Perkins m65 with around 3k hours It starts on the button but vibrates lots until the revs are increased. Would be great to hear thoughts on any simple things I could try. I don’t think I can adjust the idle speed on the engine. Perhaps I could via the throttle cable but don’t want to make matters worse. I’ve bled the fuel I’m currently in Barbados where I can’t seem to find a diesel mechanic Next stop Martinique where I’m sure I’ll find good professional We ran the prop shaft alternator on the long crossing for 2 weeks straight. I started to notice that in the higher winds towards the end of the trip the noise from the rotating prop would change to a less regular sound at speed - almost a knocking sound I think perhaps the prop shaft alignment needs adjusting. Perhaps the two issues are related although if so I’d imagine the vibrations to get worse with increased revs rather than get better Any thoughts most appreciated and any pointers to good mechanics in Martinique would be great too All the very best Miles

Engine Repower for Super Maramu
Dan Wilcox
Happy New Year! This spring I will be repowering Feierabend, our 1992 Super Maramu which currently has a very tired Perkins Prima 80. I'm in the pacific northwest, and looking at putting in a Yanmar 110hp. The yard I plan to use has repowered another SM, and are well aware of needing an ungrounded engine. Their concern is the other Yanmar 110hp they installed was modified to be ungrounded., but not sure if the new Yanmars can be with their electronics. They have contacted Yanmar to see if this can be done with the new electronic version. This has spurred on a couple questions: 1. I've read through some of the previous conversations, but don't have a good understanding why the Amel requires an ungrounded engine. With major rewiring and replacing many of the electronics the boat has required, is there a point where it would no longer need an ungrounded engine? 2. There is currently a Kohler 8EoZ generator that is original with the boat. Is this also ungrounded, or is that not a consideration for the generator? Thanks, Dan SV Feierabend SM #86

Genoa sheet cars
smiles bernard
Happy new year !
We recently arrived in Barbados after fast crossing from Cape Verde’s The boat was great but I noticed a few things that I now need to address The port Genoa sheet car is worn at the point the shackles attaches. I think it’s an original mid 80s a goiot car. It has a stylised seagull shaped ensign. Does anyone know a suitable replacement for a vintage Maramu car and also how to remove / reinstall? I presume then come off the track fwd end. There is a stopper bolt head at the fwd end of the track so I presume I remove this and just slide the car off the track. Space for removal of the car looks really tight with a stanchion base though. If anyone has replaced their sheet cars any info would be very much appreciated All the very best Miles

Caramelle for Sail!!
pjn.mccallin@...
Thanks to those who posted how I should send messages, , so for the deal of the century my address is pjndot Mccallin at gmail dot com
Sorry for the confusion,I’m open to sensible negotiations, so if you’ve yet to sell your present yacht it’s perhaps not your opportunity to buy a time warp AMEL. P S I’ve just fitted new wheels to the passerelle exactly the same as when delivered new, some might think I’m excessive!! As for the leather work, treated with kid gloves!!! Patrick.

This is quite interesting. On Patrick's original post the email address shows up in proper format. But for all the replies that include his post the address is truncated. (I'm on my iPad.) Go figure. And here's hoping for great sailing in the coming year!

Thomas Peacock
I’ve noticed the same thing.
I believe that if you read the posts on the Yahoo webpage, it does indeed mangle the email addresses. If you use a built-in mail program (I use Apple’s built in on my MacBook and iPad), then the email addresses remain intact. So Yahoo doesn’t really strip it, it just displays it on its own webpage in a most unuseful form. So, probably safest to do the “at” routine, even though it’s a PIA.

interesting. I'm using WIndows 10 and Chrome on an HP laptop. His email shows as pjn.mccallin at dot dot dot. It is colored blue like a link and when clicked attempts to go to email, but, of course, fails because of the invalid address. So, as you note, writing out ones email address with at and dot seems to be the ticket. Cheers, Craig ---In amelyachtowners@..., <brentcameron61@...> wrote : Happy New Year Craig (and to all Amelians), I’ve noticed that people often say that but his full email showed up fine (and as a link) for me so I wonder if it’s yahoo or your email program that strips it out. I’m on a MacBook and usually read these from one of my iDevices so not sure if that makes a difference. In any case, it still probably makes sense to also spell it out as you suggest. I often will do that just to make sure webcrawlers don’t scoop up my email and add me to their spam list but I’ve never had that happen with this forum. Brent Cameron, Future SM2K owner

Re: Caramelle for sail!
Patrick, You'll want to re-post using the words at and dot in your email address instead of the characters as Yahoo strips those out and no one can reply to you.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Outhaul gear box - Outhaul Drive Shaft bottom shoulder bolt
Thanks, Bill and Eric. I am not sure if my client's bolt at the bottom of the outhaul gearbox driveshaft was original, but his bolt does have a shoulder. It seems logical to me that you would engineer this bolt with a shoulder in order to keep the threads from damaging anything as the driveshaft turns. Hopefully someone who knows his bolt is original will respond.

As usual marine suppliers takes 4times more money than the manufacturer of the part. The Vetus price is about 40 Euro while the manufacturer takes about 10 Euro for the same piece. Gerhard Sharki #60

Thanks Peter,
I will try it with tight Vectran at the end of January and report back to the group. I am fairly confident, after reading the email Mike received from Bernard, that it will be OK. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437
