Re: Useful addition to Volvo D3-110 engine's sea water circuit
I was looking a bit more in detail at this strange difference in having a filter or not and later it became clear to me that Volvo Penta only issues this filter to engines connected to AquaDrives, a special tailpiece for planing motorboats. These things have the waterintake integrated in the sterndrive. This why VP puts the filter after the pump.
Nevertheless the filter is still a useful addition for inboard engines with a normal strainer. Regards, Arno Luijten SV Luna, A54-121

I’ve uploaded the recording of the Zoom call. This one includes subtitles: https://youtu.be/5rNdGuOm3P8 I’m working on assembling the Q&A into a document that we will post here. I’ve also assembled a playlist of YouTube Videos with info about Lithium Iron Phosphate installs and Amel boats: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU9o3Ph9NZqGRT0ciLUsk3PYNqdnCpi7v. If there are any videos you think should be added to this playlist, feel free to send me the links. Best, Tilo

Re: Bow-thruster repair at anchor
I’ve read about that repair dozens of times but it was never very clear to me what they were talking about without having it all apart in front of me. Noe seeing your video makes it all very clear. Very well done. The two parts that you were wondering what the English names were are the Shear Pin and the Shaft Key (counterintuitive I know) but it’s still very clear what you meant. Your video will help a lot of new owners so thank you for taking the time to put it together.

Re: Cook top dimensions
I suggest that you look at probably the best stoves available at GN Espace https://www.gn-espace.com/ Be sure to look at their storage and cooking containers which are simply genius. They just introduced the OceanChef 3 Induction Stove, which is a 53.5 cm wide (gimbal tip to gimbal tip) - 3 zone induction cooktop/electric oven and grill for monohulls. Both of their OceanChef 3 and 4 burner LPG cookers and the new OceanChef 3 Induction/electric cooker, are all direct replacements for the ENO/Force 10 stoves. I believe that there is not a better product for Amels than all of the products made by this company. If this interests you, I have negotiated a discount for my clients. For more information on the discount write to me at Bill@...

Hello, Why don' t you install electric heating elements in the existing oven? You may even install them additional beside the gas heaters. So you can use both. Oliver from Vela Nautica A54#39 Martinique

For the oven I think we'll take a company-shaped oven from the household area that should fit well in there Hot air consumes least energy Von meinem iPhone gesendet

Re: Cook top dimensions

Many thanks Elja, 590 should work perfectly.
I am currently locked down away from my boat.
Yes, I am also converting my oven to electric.
My idea is to insert 2 small ovens into the current oven space inside the existing stainless steel gimballed frame. If you like I can send you a photo in the next day or two of how the two ovens look together along with dimensions. Each oven draws a maximum of 2400W.
Regards

Cook top dimensions

Hi all,
Can anyone give me the dimensions of the gas cooktop on the SM 2000 as per the pic. Looking to retrofit an induction cooktop which is 574mm square and hoping it will sit on the existing s/s ledge. Thanks in advance. Bryce Seamaster II # 467

Hi Gang, great Zoom. But due to bandwidth problems, I missed a considerable period. Was it recorded and archived for later viewing.
