Weight of ama on DF920

[jerry99]

Does anybody know the weight of one ama from a DF 920 Extreme?

In manual is noted it needs two persons to mount or demount the amas; preferably three. Considering a normal person can hold and lift about 30 - 40 kgs, I estimate 80 kgs for one ama.

Or is it more and I have to ask Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dolf Lundgreen to disassemble my boat

All comments are welcome

Hi Jerry, having had my 920 ashore recently, and having moved the amas in and out a few times on my own on props, without using the control lines…. I had to get underneath, and lift each end with a shoulder in turn. I think your weight estimate is not too far off, I think you might be looking at just under 100 kilos. You’d want 2 big guys for sure, plus another to undo or do up the fasteners, ideally 3 on the lift, bearing in mind theres no resting or going back.

I removed the amas of my DF920e with the help of 1 person.
The amas were heavier than expected and the center of gravity is quite in front, about 2/3 from stern.
