Hello all, my ST 60 Tridata Raymarine instrument finally stopped working on the SeaTalk bus. Worked with Raymarine and did the troubleshooting and they said the unit was bad. So I can replace with another used ST 60 Tridata or and I50 Tridata instrument and get it back on the seatalk network. So I am looking to see if anyone has an old ST 60 Tridata or I50 Tridata that is fully functional they no longer need. (Maybe someone that upgraded their entire system). Prices online are high for the i50 and not sure if the ST 60's online are fully functional. Thought I would ask my fellow Amel family first.

Re: Dessslator HP hoses
Eric Freedman
The JIC is a designation of the connection. It does not necessarily have to be reusable. Most are not. I will bet that a hydraulic shop can make you the hoses with stainless steel fittings permanently pressed on. Did you bring a hose to a bigger hydraulic shop?

Re: This should interest all members, especially Amel yacht owners
My Amel just took us here, right now! What an amazing adventure machine! And I just raced my buddy from Raiatea in his new Leopard 48. It blows his mind that a monohull is faster than his cat!

We’re all aware of the definition of “Cruising”. It applies to Amels and ALL boats!

Re: VP MD22L
Patrick McAneny
Bernard , On my Volvo TMD22a the heat exchanger has a rubber cap on each end, the caps seal around the heat exchanger tube and also seals around the heat exchanger vessel or housing that contains the antifreeze. So the caps serve a dual purpose and the cap is tightened around the exchanger (tube) and the vessl with s.s. clamps. If that clamp is not tight or the cap is in poor condition then salt water can get into the coolant. Its not a great design and I have always worried about a failure resulting in what you have. I just replaced the caps because they were old ,dried out and lost their flexibility ,thus their ability to seal . I might add that I had an overheating issue for years and finally discovered that there was a rubber o ring seal that slide over the tube that had gotten old and broke apart. That o ring insures that all the coolant flows thru the heat exchanger. If you should buy new caps don't buy them for a Volvo ,but for a Perkins , assuming your engine is a Perkins as mine is ,same caps are $340 from Volvo ,$35 from Perkins. Hope this helps,have any questions...

Great to read . The Amel yachts and the Amel understanding of cruising at sea add up to something extraordinary which enriches the lives of everyone who owns or aspires to own an Amel. We do not consider it a hyperbole to acknowledge that owning 3 Amels
for the past 30 years has been a central part of the enjoyment of living those 30 years - with many more to come .
A significant part of that enjoyment has been the camaraderie of others owners , not least yourself , through this website .
Long may that be so

This should interest all members, especially Amel yacht owners
All owners and all non-owners interested in the Amel Brand:
In the month of July, we added 31 new members to the Amel Yacht Owners Group. There were 20 new members who were "Interested in buying an Amel." There were 11 Amel owners, including several Amel 50 owners and one Amel 60 owner (he has not received his 60 yet) Also we currently have over 1,000 members who receive each of our postings. It must be daunting to those "Interested in Amel" to see all of the postings regarding maintenance issues. I hope they understand that when a group has this many members, there will be a substantial number of maintenance issues that we want to share. That said, I am sure that 99% of the owners consider their Amel the best and safest ocean sailing yacht available. Please consider the fact that someone asking you a question may not own an Amel.....YET!

Re: VP MD22L
Bernd,
So sorry, I read your problem too quickly and thought you were losing coolant. I just re-read and see it is becoming contaminated with saltwater. You are in the right area. Keep hunting about the heat exchanger! You will have a eureka moment. Hopefully sooner, rather than later.
With best regards,
Mark

Re: VP MD22L
2 answers at once.
1st pressure check done with a compressor. Meaning compressor to one side of the pipes and sealed on the other side. 2nd Will reinstall tomorrow. Seals seem to be good, will check to have them tight enough. crack in the engine block. Can not imagine how saltwater would enter the sweat water circuit if the engineblock would have a crack. Exhaust fumes are clean. Please keep fingers crossed. Don’t want to buy a new engine... But at some point.... how much do you really want to invest in a 25 yo engine...

Re: VP MD22L
Brend,
As others have already suggested, the heat exchanger is the most likely culprit. You have a hole somewhere. Either in a seal or a failure in the exchanger itself. This would be your best case scenario. Else, you might have a cracked engine block. This is unlikely but possible.
With best regards,
Mark

Re: VP MD22L

Hi Bernd, It will be a seal that separates the two water streams. The TMD 22 volvos and different heat exchangers on different engines so cant be definitive but investigate all the seals Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean pearl

Bernd,
Seawater should only come in close proximity to coolant (sweat water) inside the heat exchanger. There has to be a leak in there somewhere. How did you conduct the pressure test? -- Mark McGovern SM #440 Cara Deale, MD USA

Re: washing machine and dryer for Amel 54
Martin Bevan
We replaced the original Bosch machine in 2017 when it started to trip the power out. The replacement was as in the previous post, a Beko. There are very few half depth machines available and Bosch no longer make one. Our original machine was held in place by two bolts attached through the back of the machine which go through a panel at the back of the machine space and are secured by two Amel style wheel nuts. These are accessed via a panel in the port side double cabin. We fitted these bolts to the new machine.
The old and new machines just fit through the companionway doors. On the the subject of tumble dryers, ours got a large amount of use, especially for drying towels when at sea. The main issue that we had was with the grill at the end of the exhaust pipe blocking, solved by removing the internal grill. Martin Bevan Previous owner of Caduceus A54#56

Re: washing machine and dryer for Amel 54
Scott SV Tengah
I replaced my washing machine with a Beko 6kg 1000rpm one that I found in Spain.
It barely fits, but the nice thing is that it's 50% more capacity than the original Bosch. Securing it was a pain but possible through the "shipping plugs" in the back of the machine. I'm not aboard now but will return to the boat around the 12th, so if you want the model number, I can post it then. And if you go for this machine, I can walk you through how I secured it. The boatyard tried to secure it and well, their solution resulted in the machine falling out at an inconvenient time. :) -- Scott 2007 A54 #69 SV Tengah www.svtengah.com

Just to clarify the tridata instrument works when powered up, its just causing problems with the seatalk bus. Also I am not asking for a freebee, just would rather purchase one from this family than a complete stranger...
