Mothership Maintenance
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 22 ก.ย. 2020
Sailboat DIY repairs & maintenance are a BIG part of boating life, and like most old boats, our Amel Super Maramu needs a lot TLC. So I have created this TH-cam channel to show the mechanical mishaps, breakdowns and marine upgrades I have experienced. From outboard repairs to solar installations, from diesel engine maintenance to rigging repairs - real world problems and solutions in a real world environment with top tips, and equipment reviews.
We're a UK family travelling the world by sea and video blogging as we go. Our main TH-cam channel 'Mothership Adrift' follows our travels and adventures, the wonders and frustration of 'living the dream'.
I hope you find these blogs helpful and might even see you out here one day!

There were strange noises coming from the electric genoa furler on our Amel Super Maramu, so we decided to investigated. What started as quick inspection ended up with our forestay foil going overboard!
In this maintenance blog I remove the detach the forestay at the turnbuckle in order to remove the furling mechanism. In the next few videos I will be stripping down and completely rebuilding the electric furler gearbox and having the motor brought back to life from almost certain death!
If you're a professional, expert or even an old salty sea dog with some good advice on how to repair an electric furler on a sailboat.. or even how to remove and replace a forestay, then please leave any constructive criticism, insight and advice in the comments below the videos.

Amazingly helpful
Must be somewhat irksome to have drilled those two large holes into the Dishy housing when the newer versions of the app allow dish horizontal configuration via software. But no harm done and it working is the important part.
Oh wow, that escalated quickly ;) But we feel your pain. Our ASM hasn't had time yet to throw some really good surprises & plot twists our way (I'm sure they'll happen when we sail her from Samos to the Netherlands in a few months!) but we're both long time liveaboards, each on our own sailboats until recently, so we know what it's like sometimes ... Just wanted to say we very much appreciate you sharing all your experiences - including when it doesn't go as planned. We can all learn a lot from each other this way! 🤗
We did this on a berth to repair a damaged forestay and extend the foil that a PO had cut down due to elongated holes at the motor end. Can't imagine doing this at anchor or on a mooring!
fkuk youre lucky the stick never fell ontop of you!
Buen trabajo Woody . siempre se complica algo al final !!!!! Un gran saludo a la Capitana Irenka y los niños desde Argentina !!!
Caw strewth Woody. It deflates my yachting ego when I watch your maintenance vids and depression sets in. They should be X rated 🤪
Yeh, when you upload videos it asks you to flag content that might upset viewers. I think they need a whole section on boat maintenance!
wouldn't a gyroscope eliminate the rolling and pitching?
Very well done and good shots...thanks sooooo much
Appreciate it! Glad it was helpful.
Sexy overalls guys what a palava 😮
Sexy sells ;)
Hey Woody, is the turbo and exhaust elbow ok to be done in isolation of the heat exchanger and oil cooler? Presume space a little tight but just need to drop the exhaust box hose?
I guess it depends on the design of the engine but on the TMD22, yes. I clean the elbow and Turbo maybe once every two years but only done the heat exchanger and oil cooler once in the last 6 years.
@@MothershipMaintenance legend thanks. Added to the long list of boat jobs. I've got the same issue with the TMD22 peaking at about 2,000rpm, despite a clean prop and a relatively new turbo.
It's a schitshow of an Idea, this
Did the engine speed go up after cleaning the turbine carbon? Does it emit black smoke when the turbine is running at high speed because of the carbon buildup? My boat has similar problem.
Well it was running below par before this and went back to normal afterwards, so I wouldn't say it sped up, but it definitely improved things!
Saved my day and sanity with my black water waste problem...THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO
You're welcome! It's a grim job though :/
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Quick question: the Quick 1200w Heating Element F/B3 comes with two gaskets. One is larger and flat, and the other is round and smaller in diameter. Do you use both gaskets or just the larger flat gasket for model B3 40L?
Same question here. Did you find out yet?
Use one or the other. I made that mistake the first time I changed mine and put both in.. thinking the more the better. Got water everywhere! I guess they put two in depending on the design of the housing. From memory I think used the flat one.
Enjoyed a real hands on... however would it not be simpler to just shit in a 5 gal bucket? Asking for a friend
It has been done!
Very good and clear explanation. Thank you, I will now do the same with mine. Fair winds!
That charger is now 3800!
Inflation seems to have sent prices through the roof in the last few years.. especially electronics!
liked you're fiber glass work ( :
Thanks for that ours is leaking the same but now I am thinking we gotta clean the whole thing instead of just replacing a washer 🙄
Well done
Danke, das war sehr hilfreich. Liebe Grüße aus Germany, Ela& Frank.🙋♀️🙋🏻♂️
Man, I thought rv maintenance was an ordeal!
Well done. Very easy to understand explanations.
Hi again, I notice you have anodes on your rudder? I’ve never seen this on any other Super Maramu’s? Usually just the 2 anodes on the rudder as the keel is connected to those via the bonding strap in the bilge.
On the keel you mean? Yeh it already had those on there when we bought it. The bonding strap was broken so I wondered whether previous owner noticed some galvanic corrosion and added them without checking the bonding strap. Anyway I reinstated the bonding strap but kept the extra anodes. Another manufacturer with a similar keel.. Maybe Colvics or Contest (?) recommended adding extra anodes to the keel so I figured it’d do no harm so kept them.
Hi Woody, can I ask is there a reason why you shortened the pole from the end that takes the sheet, rather than the end that connects to the smaller jokey pole?
Either end would have done the job really but I noticed the rivets needed replacing on that end anyway.
I have this same job to do, but forward where the eye bolt is for attaching the block to where the pole fore-guy connects. Would you say that G10 board I’d strong enough to tap and the bolt hold there?
Yea definitely. I was a bit unsure as I’d never worked with the stuff before so was a bit shy with it and didn’t really add enough. I would have doubled the thickness in hindsight and saved myself a lot of fibreglass layering!
Thanks!
Appreciate it Hugo.. thank-you 👍
Thank you. I’ve just bought a new me boat and there is a 25lt version to check over.
Please tell us you did not use welding cable. They are NOT suitable for marine use
If you’re referring to the untinned copper, I replaced like for like as the previous cabling had been in the boat for nearly 25 years.. so figured it was good for another 25.
@@MothershipMaintenance Your insurance company will most likely disagree. And the sheathing is not suitable for a marine environment
Thank you!
Welcome!

That's what I do lol
Many thanks. I'm just about to go through this whole process and found your video. I feel a lot more confident doing this now. Cheers from Sweden 👍
Thanks!
Welcome!
The 3 pole 40 amp circuit breaker you put in between the AC Outlet on your inverter & the load, was it a AC or DC circuit breaker?
Woody, arent there big cable exiting the engine room at the floor and mid way up by the filter? But, then they are all in the cabin step... how do they come together? I am trying to route the WS500 cables and am afraid of hitting one of those big cables.
They just all squeeze together behind the insulation. It’s not pretty and tricky to get in there.. you just have to fish around with your hand in the engine bay while someone wiggles them from the other end!
FYI the type of thermometer you used to check the thermostat cannot give accurate readings of liquids or wet/shiny objects.

BUEN TRABAJO CAPITAN SALUDOS DESDE LATITUD 34 S. ARGENTINA Y BUENA PROA !!!
We kept our old water lock from our Onan generator! Just in case anyone wanted one!!
So much extra work due to a simple seacock mistake. I hope it works out in the long run
Thank you, great video, but I find the language difficult. I hope that if you have time in the future, you will bring these elements above the long one, how they are connected to each other and their role in cooling. I am weak in English.
Ka-Ching. More money 😮
hello mate from the other part of the world :) some suggestions from me :) 1 make another sea cock to have the genset separated and easily used for the main engine in case of emergency ;) 2 see if you can manage to rig that stop solenoid to the alarm system as this could have been easily avoided , that onan is equipped with 3 shut down alarms, low oil pressure , high coolant temp and high exhaust temperature, these only work if the system is connected to a functional shut off solenoid :) if that is not possible to fix or too expensive (ask me how I know ) you can always order a temperature gauge with alarm and install one on the exhaust and another on the engine coolant , whilst you are at it an oil pressure alarm and its all set , sure you can find on ebay or aliexpress etc , keep it up and if you need you know where to reach out :) fair winds and say hi to all :)
Easy error to make. I've done something similar and now always hang a key or a tag on the start switch when I do anything to the engine so I know to check everything before just mindlessly starting it. It doesn't always work with new people who might not realize what the tag/key means but at least you will get a bit of a reminder. It's saved me from having to McGyver in remote locations (which you are exceedingly good at). Glad you got it sorted out and that you didn't have to dive in Salty infested waters to find that adapter!
Thanks Steve.. I actually had masking tape over the engine starter.. but stupidly overlooked the generator starter :/
Here in Switzerland you can have two cars and one registration plate. Of course it's easy to drive off without having changed the registration plate - potential big fine. So I have a sign saying 'Don't be stupid!' on the steering wheel of the car without the registration plate to remind me not to dive it without changing it. Since then there's been a 100% reduction in stupidity. Well, number plate stupidity.
GRAN TRABAJO WOODY !!!! MUY BUEN VIDEO !!! TE MANDO UN GRAN SALUDO DESDE ARGENTINA
The only issue to be aware of, and I am sure you would know this is condensation on the outside of the freezer when in warmer climates, they just don’t have the amount if insulation that your old fridge did.
