Page 11 Dear customer, Here you are on your wonderful and brand new Super Maramu 2000, and I would like, in the name of all the AMEL team, to welcome you aboard your yacht, and to thank you to have chosen the AMEL Shipyard to build it.
Page 13: Guided Tour Of The Super Maramu 2000
1.1 Electric power from the AMEL point of view Most of the electrical equipment in board of the Super Maramu 2000 works with in 24 V DC. This energy is stored in batteries that need to be charged regularly. Ideally, charging should be done promptly produce when needed.
Page 14: Power Generator
1.1.1 Power generator DANGER ! Read carefully the generator’s manual before use. It contains warnings concerning your own safety while operating and doing maintenance. Any maintenance work on mechanical or electrical parts of the generator should be done by skilled workers, using appropriate tools and protections.
Page 15 Control panel Picture 1 – Generator About the exhaust circuit of the generator : It is fitted with a muffler were the exhaust gas is mixed with seawater and therefore cooled down. When the generator is running, make sure that seawater flows out of the exhaust discharge outlet on the hull.

Page 24: Amel Bow Thruster
Any maintenance on the bow thruster should be done in a harbour. Since 1985, every AMEL ship is fitted with our bow thruster. Its design is very reliable for every underwater part is made out of GRP and therefore not subject to electrolysis. An electrical jack moves it up and down using cables and pulleys.
Page 25 Then, you can use the bow thruster. Don't use it more than 30 seconds in one push. Don't reverse rotation before the propeller has stopped (about one second). It is made only for harbour use; never use it during navigation, or for another use than it has been designed for.
Page 26 It is possible to replace the prop without diving or having the boat taken out of the water, using a special tool that one can buy at AMEL'. When the boat is on the hard, switch off the main circuit breaker (on the 24V panel) to avoid any accident, and disconnect the plug inside the autopilot shelf, above the sink.
Page 27: Amel Rudder
Picture 2 – Plug to disconnect when the boat is out of the water 1.3.3 AMEL rudder The rudder blade is made out of fiberglass, reinforced with stainless steel plates. It is hollow and a hole has been drilled at the bottom to let the water go when the boat is hauled on the hard.
Page 28 Opening the aft cabin berths' hatches gives access to the linear driving of the automatic pilot. Rudder stock Picture 10 – Rudder stock and automatic pilot linear driving unit DANGER ! Before any inspection or work, make sure nobody operates the rudder system. For safety reasons, have this system checked by skilled staff.
Page 29: Amel Rig And Sail Furling Systems
The Super Maramu 2000 is equipped with 2 electric winches (type LEWMAR 58 CEST) for the jib sheet. Under the mizzen mast is the electric winch (LEWMAR 40 CEST) for the main sheet.

Mainsail in mast furling control Jib furling control Mainsail Jib sheet winch outhaul control twin controls Picture 13 – Sails controls Warning : beware of loose halyards that could get caught in the jib furling system, especially by the top of the mast.
Page 32 The winch to operate the main sheet traveller is located in the cockpit, on starboard side. Don’t hesitate to loose the main sheet car before to move it, and be careful of your movements. A locking pin can be set to starboard in order to move the traveller to starboard, or to portside in order to move the traveller to port.
Page 33 AMEL sails furling systems DANGER ! Don't let fingers, hair clothes or ties touch the winches during operation. The rotating parts may cause severe injuries. Before operation, make sure no tool or towel is lying on the winch. Don't leave children unattended while operating the winches.
Page 34 Notched block Guardrail ‘s blocks Picture 15 – Using the jib manually The mainsail electric furler controls are in the cockpit (see Picture 13 – Sails controls). When unfurling in the mast, bring the outhaul backwards as well. When sailing, if lines appear on the mainsail completely unfurled, harden up the starboard halyard using the winch and to the traveller (see Picture 16 –...

Page 36 To use the mainsail mast furler manually, first put a winch handle in the furler and loosen the 4 fastening screws that hold the motor. Then move the motor downwards in order to free the clutch pin. The mast furler is now ready for hand use. (Caution : do not tighten too tight when reassembling parts).
Page 37 The electric clew on the boom can be released too, unscrewing the screw on the top of the block, and having set a rope in the embedded cleat, to maintain the clew. Picture 20 – Release of the electric clew’s motor Now, the clew can be moved by hand with a rope in the sheet traveller ;...
Page 38 About the sails : The AMEL Shipyard recommend to : don’t hoist the jib to windward, to avoid the jib lifting above the deck and against the mast, hoist the mainsail and the mizzen between 0 and 40° of wind, to avoid their rubbing against the mast.
Page 39 Both booms of the Super Maramu 2000 can be fitted out with a supplied preventer (equipped with a jamcleat), to limit the movement of the boom at wind free running. Don’t forget to establish them when needed, especially to avoid gybing.
Page 40 AMEL jib sheet traveller remote control The AMEL jib sheet traveller remote control allows the crew members to move it from the cockpit. Use a regular winch handle to operate it. It is fitted with a locking pin that can be left open while handling. It is easier to use if the sail is not completely hardened.
Page 41 2 pairs of poles and jockey poles are stowed on both sides of the front deck when not used. The AMEL twin pole system allows to sail wind free up to 170° off maximum. Jib and ballooner must imperatively be rigged on the same tube (of jib furler). When the AMEL twin pole system is used, pole and jockey pole must imperatively be used simultaneously on each side of the boat.
Page 42 Backwards, the pole's block is set on the base of the stanchion. Picture 28 – Aft stowage of the pole To set the poles, you need 3 coloured (blue, yellow and red) ropes and a white toping lift. First, set the pole on port side in order to sail with the jib while you set the pole on starboard. Each pole is set as follows: hauled forward with the blue line hauled backward with the red line...
