I am installing a fish finder for my nav net sytstem aboard Callisto SM 2000 #369. I need to install an addtional through hull for the sounder. Does anyone...
The fishfinder transponder needs to be located more or less forward of the keel and pointing straight down rather than perpendicular to the shape of the hull...

Suddenly it stops working, usually after the boat has been hosed down with
fresh...
I am in search of a SM or Santorin and I understand that after 10-12 years the ceiling foam padding deteriorates due to the heat and requires a total...
Hello Mr. Stonier, The change from synthetic foam backing that fails with heat cycling to 100% cotton/felt backing which doesn't, occurred on all boats built...

Hi Ken, Yes, that's exactly what happened. I had the thing apart once, fairly early on, and noticed there was water leaking down onto the main drum bearings...
This is the first season that "Sabbatical III" (ASM #419) has been at a marina slip in the US. After running the air conditioning for only a few hours over...
Mark, We had a problem with our AC on shore power while in Trinidad. Apparently a voltage spike or other marina fault was to blame. It fried the big capacitor...
Mark, I had the same problem. The capacitor on top of the raw water pump was fried. I got another one and all has been fine since. Fair Winds, Eric Amel Super...
Hi Mark, I don't want to get in a jackpot with the CLIMA guy here as he is a good fellow. However, the head of CLIMA in Italy was on my boat several years ago...
Hi Chuck, Sounds as though your problem is more serious than ours. After returning to our boat which had been on the hard for four months, we discovered that...
I have found a source in the US for the 3-prong plugs used in the Amel for the fan outlets and the 12 and 24 volt outlets at the nav station. These are the...
Mark, You might find it handy to add a triple 12 volt plug receptacle on the nav station under the radar next to the lamp. It is available from radio shack...

Hello fellow Amel sailors, I own a SM #266, but do not have any of the (Amel)manuals for her. Question: Recently when the sails are furled I can hear the...
Hi Tony: It would be a good idea to get the owners manual for your boat. It is full of very useful information. Amel also produced a CD ROM that has the...
Thank you Gary for the reply. I did obtain an Amel CD. It is for the SM but has a different engine, battery charger and some other things than my boat #266....
Hi Tony Can you not either slacken or tighten the halyard tension so that the mainsail would not be suspended loosely. In the later added goiot (maybe the word...
... My husband suggest you slightly unfurl the main inside the mast, to helps cushion it as well as having the correct halyad tension. Happy Sailing Alex &...
we just removed painted rebearinged and rerigged our main on maramu 192. (1985, 20 yr old rigging) also rebuilt motors and worm drives and rewired. both our...
Hello Eric, Yes I have the outhaul tight. However the furling tube moves and will "slap" the inside of the mast even when the sail is unfurled and has a nice...
-Thank you for your reply. That is an interesting thought. I feel that the best way to remidy the problem is to have the furling tube at the correct "torque"...
