Good morning Gary, If the Marina was cleaner, I would dive myself, but it is so dirty... Not much clean water in "Clear Lake", but I think I should make an effort and dive far in the bay. The

Good morning Eric, I like your idea to put some zinc near the anchor!!! I will give it a try once I clean mine! I just posted the pictures on the forum, last night... not sure where they are

Hello Alexandre, The first company I went to could not do it, the second was a big commercial galvaniser used by manufacturers of all sizes of iron goods and so their hot dip tank must have been huge

Alexander: A couple of thoughts: Find some clear water, dive on your prop and visually and tactilely verify for yourself that the prop is bristol clean!. I hired a diver once to clean mine due to

Alexandre, What name are the photos listed under? Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376 Kimberlite _____ From: amelyachtowners@... [mailto:amelyachtowners@...]

Hello Kent, Well I read may previous post of bushing Vetus bushing replaced with ceramic, etc. Personally I prefer to stick with Vetus original equipment. Thanks again!!!

When I had my boat repowered in Puerto Rico, the bushings were noted to be worn quite a bit.  My mechanic had some new ones made at a local mechanic shop of polypropylline (Sp?) which comes in

I don't fully understand the two-charger scenario, Bill, but when I replaced both the old chargers (one failed in Trinidad, the other when I got back to the US) I was told that I could run both

Hello again Danny & Forum, Sorry to bother you again. So, I looked at the Vetus flexible coupler and noted some play, so I have to change it. It doesn't look too complicated, just intimidating I

Dear Richard & Amel Forum, I just check and there is some play in the Vetus coupling... According to the posts I read, this is a Vetus Type 6, does any one know where I could get the bushing, bolts,

Good morning Bill, Always nice to hear from you. About the battery chargers, on the owner manual, section 2.1 it says (in a red box): -At the Harbour: 30 A charger -In the open sea: 50 A charger +
