My name is Rosario Romano, I am Italian and happy owner of “FINALMENTE’ 1989 Amel Sharki no 173.
I am coming out from 18 months shipyard works for masts repainting, new rigging, new holding tank, new wc and general maintenance.
I have just put the boat back in the water and unfortunately I found the bow thruster stuck in its top position. It is a model Bison of “Propulseur d’etrave Martin”.
Apparently there are no longer spare parts available and the company disappeared. I have written to Amel Med, but the secretary is on holiday. I hope in a answer in two weeks time.
I wonder if some other "Amelien" or "Sharkien" can help with experience, information and whatever you can provide.
