Thanks Danny. The box is apart right now so easy to tap in a grease nipple. And I’ll go ahead and tap in a plug on the other side, just to make sure. Mike SM#240 Aletes Chesapeake Bay Sent: Thursday,

We do not know the manufacturer of the headfoil system on our SM 2000. The 8 aluminum pop rivets between the drive wheel and the foil have now failed twice over the past 6 years. Has anyone found a mo

Hi Pat, We just had a turbo overheat incident (insulated cover started smoking) that we believe was the result of reduced cooling water flow through the mixing elbow cause by obstruction on the intake

Jason, Welcome to the Chesapeake. I echo Pat's comments. For us the northern part of the Bay is somewhat limited by depth. We kept Aletes at Georgetown for 6 years about 1 hour up the Sassafras River

The approach that worked well for me to remove the race was to drill and tap 3/16" threads through the race and hub, insert short 3/16" bolts from either end until they touched at the interface, then

Gary, As I recall I used a cobalt drill bit for the hole in the race. Titanium might also work. Photos are posted in the album "Aletes SM#240" which may help clarify the process. I was not concerned a

Gary and Robin, Welcome to the Amel family and forum. Your new vessel can take you anywhere in the world in safety and comfort. And as you have seen, there are a number of Amels right here on the Ches

Maybe an Amel rendezvous this summer on the Chesapeake is in order! Mike Aletes SM2K #240 From: amelyachtowners@... [mailto:amelyachtowners@...] On Behalf Of john martin Sent:

Pat, Tom and I moved Aletes to North Point Marina in Rock Hall. It's in the northern bay, not central, but the marina is ideally situated for getting together. It's located at the breakwater with a ni

Hello Pat et al, Pat, you have done a yeoman's job putting this event together and offering up Shenanigans for gatherings. I'm happy to take a little burden off your list and offer dinghy service as w

Let me add our thanks to all who attended this year's rendezvous. It was truly a great time, both socially (wonderful and interesting owners) and educationally (the amazing yet sometimes quirky machin

Always surprises when sailing. Glad your creative solution worked. It is a concern that the mouse would fail. I would have thought the mouse would be virtually indestructible given its critical functi

Indeed, in Amel fashion managing the ballooner is highly practical, ingenious and novel. Probably too tricky to try to explain in words, but here is the essence. The beauty of the design is that the h

Sorry about not contacting you about the SSB. We were having too much fun sailing to mess around with the SSB on the way back. Will let you know next trip to Rock Hall. Also while you have your jib sw

Hi Pat, Not to confound you with additional information and another opinion, but facing this issue with Aletes we are currently talking with Mike Sipala of Sipala Spars & Rigging in Rock Hall. He just

A quick call to Sipala to talk about cover stipperiness and cover options might answer the question. We found polyester required some additional work to reduce slip. From: amelyachtowners@yahoogroups.

Patrick. Our watermaker has been "pickled" off-line for 10 years. How long was yours not in operation and how much time/expense/aggravation was/is involved in bringing it back to function? Parts other

Kent, I think you nailed the scope for a one day class curriculum. Turbo issues should be part of it as well. Could be fun over Rendezvous weekend, or a nice getaway during the winter. Thanks for work
