I am looking to exchange my furling motors and gears for the main sail on our 1987 Mango. Unfortunately, I dont find any numbering on the motors at all. I do have a spare motor for the genua furler, t

This is a bit funny, we have exactly this issue with our Mango #67. We never seem to be 100% horizontal... Is this an Amel thing?

What about backstays? I would expect that this was required, at least in heavy weather?

I did actually manage to upload the drawing to the group. If you go to Files, you will find it in the Mango folder, with some other stuff. If you can't find it let me know, maybe I can send it to you

When I changed the bearing on our Mango, I found it to be a standard bearing, available in any well-equipped marine shop. The change was very easy, I also froze it down prior to installation like othe

Bill, That actually makes perfectly good sense. We have a rotary unit above the galley, and the noise from that one is quite annoying. The idea of having a spare allready installed is very apealing fo

Why is it that you want a second unit at all? From all the replies it seems to be quite common? Bent S/Y Karma, Mango #67

When the bottom is clean and the motor is doing 3000 rpm, the only fault I can think of is the mechanics of the autoprop. Maybe the blades doesn't reach the correct position when going forward? Do you

Do you have data on those cables? I would very much like to exchange mine too..

On my Mango there are twomgrease points, but the upper is facing intomthe hull, and is not accesable. I am thinking about drilling a small hole from the cockpit to be able to grease this one.

I am also a new Mango owner, # 63 of 1987. I would be interested in any info about the bow-thruster as I believe this to be a somewhat "weak point" or at least a high-maintenance issue. Did you exchan
