Duane, Alternatively, conflict with the cockpit drain can be solved by shifting the tank a couple inches outboard (to port). This is simpler than modifying the tank and cheaper than buying the tank wi

Does anyone know the manufacturer and model number for the furling motor for the Genoa on the SM2000? I thought I read a thread about this motor a while back, but now I can't find it. Many thanks, Ste

Duane, I just replaced the water heater on our Super Maramu 2000. Here are a couple of thoughts in case you have to replace yours. But keep in mind that Amel may have made some adjustments in the layo

Does anyone have a drawing for the wearing out bearing (WOB) for the prop shaft for the SM2000? I would like to have one machined, but do not have the off part with me. I checked the drawings/pictures

Alexandre - thank you so much for the quick reply. My SM2K is about 1/2 year earlier and has the Guest fixture, not the AquaSignal, so the wiring may be different. However, given your information, I w

I am away from our boat -- S/V Hanalei, a 1999 SMM -- and do not have access to the masthead unit or the wiring diagrams. I would like to buy an LED masthead/anchor light and bring it with me back to

Eric, Wow! That was fast. Thank you. A couple of questions: When you say "they ordered the parts", are you referring to Amel or Leroy Somer? Also, the reference to "roller bearings" is confusing as I

Ian, I had this problem on Delos, SM2000 #303, albeit less dramatically. It was discussed in a set of messages around #861 (yeah, a little while ago). I solved it with some epoxy at the recommendation

Oh for goodness sakes! A cricket pitch is a sort of side-arm throw in baseball which makes the pitcher look like a cricket, hence the name, "cricket pitch". Why this has anything to do with a "cable",

Spent about a half hour on-line at JC Whitney looking for the paint striping tool mentioned in various posts on the subject dated around 2006. I finally got an on-line sales associate to confirm what
