Main sail outhaul motor
|
Kaplan,Andre
I have a 1988 Mango no.71. On recommissioning this spring, the electric outhaul for the mainsail is not working. A quick look by a yard worker suggested the solenoid might be bad. Can someone give me advice on how to approach this problem? If the solenoid is bad, how can I replace it? Is there a standard solenoid that can replace the original? If so, what is the model that I need? Must I get the replacement from Amel? If the outhaul motor is bad, how and where can I get a replacement?
Thanks for any advice. Andre Kaplan Renaissance 2000 Mango 71 88 |

I am unsure if the solenoid is the same on the Mango as the SM. If it is, it is a product used in forklift trucks. This should help you find one (not sure where you are located). Perhaps you can post a picture. That said, it is not usually the solenoid that fails. They are extremely heavy duty. More often the motor burns out due to the operator putting too much strain on it. If you hear a click as you work the outhaul switch on the control panel, it is not the solenoid. Stating the obvious, have you checked the breaker?

Hi Andre, my outhaul motor on my Mango # 67 87 is burned out beyond repair it seems. Trying to find out what make it is and to locate another one.
Thanks for any info you might have. |
