June 1994 1.1.1 General information about the ship • Boatbuilder : Chantiers AMEL / La Rochelle. • This ship has been surveyed by Bureau Veritas, through the "CE type" process, according to the B schedule of the regulation. Certificate n°6632-0037 A19 CE RCD from 31 October.
Page 10: Guided Tour Of The Super Maramu 2000
2.1 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 11: Batteries
2.1.1 Batteries CAUTION ! The Super Maramu 2000 is equipped with high load lead-acid batteries. These lead-acid batteries produce hydrogen gas which is easily flammable. If ignited from a spark or a flame, this gas can cause a violent explosion, involve acid spreads, damage the battery and might cause bodily damages.
Page 12 Vent hose Main engine and generator starting Circuit breakers Pict. 1 – Batteries Two equipment are connected straight to the 24 V batteries : the battery controller (located in the galley, see Pict. 5 – 24 V circuit breakers panel) and the 24 / 12 V step-down transformer called "Permanent"...
Page 13 30 A charger Pict. 3 – Batteries chargers AMEL recommends to use the batteries only between 100 and 65 % capacity. As soon as the capacity is below 65%, you must charge them. Thus, they'll have a longer life. The batteries should never be fully discharged.
Page 14: Power Generator
2.1.2 Power generator CAUTION ! 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 19: Ground Circuit And Protection Against Electrolysis
Change anodes every year, maybe more often. Electrolysis depends on the environment of the boat, ands especially if there is a metal boat close-by. The Super Maramu 2000 has got in standard 2 ground plates on the rudder, used by the SSB system.
Page 20: Main Engine
2.2 Main engine 2.2.1 Engine CAUTION ! User's manuals for the main engine and the hydraulic gearbox content safety warnings that must be respected. Refer to these manuals before use. Any mechanic or electrical work should be done by skilled staff, using appropriate tools and equipment. Warning 1 : some drops of oil could be seen in the bilge below the engine.
Page 21 While sailing, the hydraulic brake prevents the propeller shaft from turning and makes it possible for the propeller to feather.

Page 25: 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 26 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). When lifting the bow thruster, wait for the red light to show before switching off. ON / OFF Starboard/Portside Bow thruster...
Page 27: Amel Rudder
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.
Page 28 The emergency tiller is located in the saloon, under the starboard berth and made of 3 parts : the rudder stock extension (steel square tube), the fastening jaws, the hand helm (aluminium). Refer to chapter 4.14.1 for fitting instructions. Hand helm Rudder stock extension...
Page 29 CAUTION ! Before any inspection or work, make sure nobody operates the rudder system. For safety reasons, have this system checked by skilled staff. Any work should be done by skilled staff, equipped with appropriate tools and protective gear.
Page 30: 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.

Page 33 On the passageway's ceiling, one hatch gives access to the circuit breakers for the main sheet winch, starboard jib sheet winch and 24V outlet for the dinghy inflator in the lazaret (for use with the batteries only). Another gives access to show the starboard winch motor. The circuit breaker for the portside electric winch is located in the engine room.
Page 34 The winch to operate the main sheet traveller is located in the cockpit, on starboard side. 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. If no move is requested, this winch can be locked on both ways.
Page 35 AMEL sails furling systems CAUTION ! 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 37 When sailing, if lines appear on the mainsail, harden up the port halyard using the winch and to the traveller (see Pict. 26 – Tightening the mainsail halyard). Lift the clutch pin and turn it ¼ of a turn to unlock the traveller, move it and take up the halyard on the winch. Pict.
Page 38 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 39 Ÿ The electric clew on the boom can be released too, unscrewing the screw on the top of the block. Pict. 30 – Release of the electric clew’s motor Now, the clew can be moved by hand with a rope in the sheet traveller ; after the mainsail is trimmed, take a turn at the notched cleat of the boom, and sheet the mainsail using the furling system.

Page 41 Ÿ 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 42 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 (see Pict. 34 –AMEL’s jib sheet traveller remote control and Pict. 35 – Locking pin).
Page 43 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 160° off. When the true wind is more than 20 knots, furl jib and ballooner together.
Page 44 Backwards, the pole's block is set on the base of the stanchion. Pict. 38 – Aft stowage of the pole To set the poles, you need 3 coloured (blue, yellow and red) ropes and a white toping lift.
