What this video covers

The owners of an Amel Maramu 46, currently stored in a boatyard in Plataria, Greece, returned to the vessel to assess its condition after two years of storage.Watch The primary maintenance issue involved the interior headliner, where the contact adhesive failed, causing the PVC-backed foam to detach and sag throughout the cabin.0:42 To resolve this, the owners plan to source pre-laminated PVC and foam material from a factory in China to replace the existing interior finish.4:22 During the visit, they also measured the standing rigging for a future replacement and cycled all through-hull valves to ensure they remained functional.8:54 The engine started successfully after a year of inactivity, and the lithium battery bank, totaling 600 amp-hours, maintained a 63% charge.11:16 Due to new boatyard regulations prohibiting overnight stays, the owners must now secure alternative accommodation for their planned return, which complicates their budget and project timeline for completing major refit tasks like installing a stern arch.13:35
