finally removed it. what you need is a puller, a hammer and 6 hours :-) . alignment was easy then using the tool. santorin owners with a shaft alternator: the "special tool" should be 45 mm longer tha

Hi Amelians, I am working on KALI MERAs Genua Top Swivel. It does not slide up and down easy, sticks to the foil under load. I cleaned the foil and used rigging lubricant, but still it does not go up

Thx Ann-Sofie, I found the file - very good documentation!. Unfortunately the SN Swivel seems to be different. I cannot see the inner plastic-tube, also the two other parts look different. does anyone

I love this group! @Hans: I did the same now, cleaned the foil several times, and it runs fine again, seems to be ok now. Next time we hoist the genua I will do this again. cleaning, cleaning, cleanin

forgot the foto...

after aligning the engine with the "special tool" it runs smooth without vibrations. It took me 4 hours to lift the engine, do the alignment... and 6 hours to get the vetus coupling of the shaft. Beca

here in Mazatlan, Mexico. They do good canvas work here, Ruben is the guy. herbert

We had it made buy a machine shop in Turkey, I think they used Lexan. maybe less than 50 Euro SN120, herbert

Hi Joerg, in my opinion there should be no need of adding additional ground, make sure that the connections are clean, no corrosion on any contacts, from tranceiver to tuner to antenna!, and also chec

to be more specific: Your ground is the sea. So you need a good electrical (HF - high frequency connection) to sea-water. This is done by your dynaplate. If you connect your bonding system you will ma

HF shall do no harm neither to the Amel bonding system nor to all connected metals, even if transmitting with high power. It is the DC connection that has to be avoided, and this DC connection will be

Joerg, * what cable did you use for connecting the antenna with the tuner? should be a GTO-15 and no coax / copper cable. This is sometimes the problem. * make sure that this cable is away from other

Alan, good video! thx. SSB installation and troubleshooting is sometimes tricky. I made my engineer's degree in electronics and telecommunication and are an active HAM radio user since many years, but

Hi Volker, Amel uses now SAE90, 15/40 is also ok, but no ATF! ATF is used for the gearbox, not for the drive. herbert, SN120

Hi Joerg, you have the best equipment available installed. all parts are first class. Of course you can check it with an SWR meter, but I am not sure if that will help you identifying the problem. You

Woody, having the Amel shaft alternator you should make the "alignment tool" longer as you have to take away the shaft alternator pulley for doing the alignment. It works if you have the tool accordin

attached you find the fotos of the alignment tool with the shaft alternator. it works, - but if I would build the tool again I would make it longer. fair winds, herbert

Woody, search for "alignment" in the forum and you will find a lot of information, also what kind of mounts you need a summary with info from Olivier: in order to re-align your engine with the C-drive

Bernd, the SN tank (I assume that SN119 is exact the same as SN120) has about 5l fuel (or a cocktail of fuel and water...) at the bottom of the tank that will stay there if you run it empty. I know it

KALI MERA is from 1995 and still has the original headliner, no signs of getting loose. Does the new material look different? Can anyone post a picture from the old / new material? fair winds, herbert
