It is my great pleasure to announce that Olivier Beaute will present at our first ZOOM Meeting of 2021. It will be held on 16 January 2021 20:00 to 21:00 UTC. Details:
Many members of the Amel Yacht Owners Group trained on their new Amels with Olivier in La Rochelle. Many of us relied on Olivier as the manager of Amel SAV. And, a substantial number of our Group have used Olivier's surveys when purchasing their pre-owned Amels. As most of you know, after a long and successful career with Amel, Olivier Beaute went into the survey business and established ATLANTIC YACHT SURVEY.
The topic of Olivier's ZOOM Meeting will be "An Amel Survey." His presentation will last about 30 minutes with 30 minutes for questions. Tilo Peters will monitor, queue, and ask Olivier your texted questions.
This meeting will be very good for all of our members.
I suspect that this meeting may book to capacity and urge you to register soon. Topic: AYOG January Gathering: An Amel Survey

Re: Engine Battery Drain - Is it the Prop Shaft Alternator?
Clive Chapman
You could try disconnecting the engine start battery and see if the voltage drop continues. That would establish if the continuing volts drop is actually due to a dead battery or because there’s an unexpected load remaining connected to the battery
(alternator exciter coils maybe? Alternator regulator failed?).
I don’t know the Amel electrical systems so am basing this on a reasonable knowledge of car electrics.

Engine Battery Drain - Is it the Prop Shaft Alternator?
Alan "Woody" Wood
We're currently in a marina, on shore power with the battery charger on.. and the starter battery (2 year old Victron 110ah) has suddenly died - showing less than 2v! and reducing 0.01v every 5 minutes).
We had our Valeo prop shaft alternator bench tested recently by a local electrician and put back. When he replaced it, the switch for the generator had been reversed.. ie 'on' was now 'off' and vice versa. I suspected the diode had been reversed or damaged in the re-istallation so disconnected the prop alternator hoping this would stop the drain - it didn't - so maybe it wasn't the problem. The Mastervolt Chargemaster 24/100 has had intermittent display problems lately although still keeping the house batteries at 100% throughout.. could that be related? I am at a loss at what investigate next - any suggestions? Cheers Woody SM 1997 Mothership

Last time I changed the fresh water pump i had to prime it. I just dropped water through the exit hose. You might have rust in the pressure tank going into the diaphragm. Envoyé de mon iPhone

FEIT Freshwater Pump Troubleshooting
Our FEIT freshwater pump won’t stop cycling. I have tried: - adjusting cutin bolt spring When I tap it with a rubber hammer it stops. But then starts again when a tap is opened and won’t stop until another tap of the breaker is switched off. The only thing left to try is the Accumulator tank pressure. Tomorrow I will pump it to about 12 PSI.

Re: ULTRA anchor 45KG or 35KG
Hello Jared. All I dd was to cut part of the fibre glass under de bow pulpit inox plaque. With just that centimeter in the aft part and also another cut of fibre and inox in the outer forward side, the shank of the anchor fits perfectly well. I am sending picture. If you need more explanations, let me know. Victor

Re: Replacing C Drive mounts while boat is in the water.
Thank you Craig, Mark, Eric and Ian (and Alex). I really appreciate your help.
I also have the extra alternator for generating power while under sail. It looks like I can remove it as one unit by undoing the two bolts that attach its framework to the C-Drive cross frame/beam.

Hi Alan,

I do have some turn on/off knobs. If you don’t pull the cover plate out when grilling you can melt these. I am currently offering all spares as part of the oven sale. Will let you know next week if I keep them. Best. Barry

Hi Barry, I would love to get your spare parts especially the switches as a previous owner melted a couple of ours. Could you send me a picture of the spares so I can make sure they are the same.

The Eno oven cooker is in perfect working condition and has had very little use. If any Amel owner could use this oven, make us an offer. Have arranged with the Amel Caraibe Le Marin workshop to store this oven for an Amel owner if needed. I have spare parts - jets, switches etc. Also have 3 x 23.5 litre fibre glass (can visually see the gas level) LPG bottles which fit securely in the gas locker. I have many different Countries connectors to self refill these bottles. Please make us an offer if any Amel owner could use this gear.

I asked her for a quote for the parts to replace the standing on my Amel 55 and it was about 12k euros.
