Bill! The hub and propeller was from a common friend in Turkey, Nothing wrong with the hub, but the propeller has obvious gone into pieces, as it was still three nylon screws intact on the

Alexandre! It was the propeller itself, the nylon hub with the screws was total intakt except three of he nylon screws that was broken Paul on S/Y Kerpa SM#259

Alex, I know that you know this, but you did not mention the stainless steel pin that goes through the hub. If that pin was inserted through the Delrin® hub and thruster shaft before the propeller

Sounds interesting. This would be a great opportunity. Could you ensure the new owner would be comfortable with such a thing? Also, see if my wife could join or just me. Also, could you be more

Greg -- thank you so much for the response. I truly appreciate your input.

Thanks every one. Don, did you use the 300A fuses ? Thanks Kent

Good morning Paul, I haven’t posted the detail on the forum yet, but I found both propeller with the 6 nylon bold still attached to it… there was also nothing in the water to cause the

After Mr Amel passed away I think the company tried to accommodate too much buyer idea of what their boat “should” be, often these people making mistakes. To me Amel have always been offshore

Ken, I have an Amel 55 with a single aft owners cabin, there are two designs of aft layout, but would suggest get the single aft cabin as I agree with you about a bow cabin being less comfortable

Hello! Alexandre I also lost my bow-thruster propeller after overhauling the whole thruster with new bearings and lip seal. When in the water I used it less than 5 seconds and suddenly the revs went

Re Amel 55 layout et al. Kenneth, I am very much in agreement with your assessment of the 54 vs. 55 layout. If it can be of any help in forming your own opinion, or confusing you thoroughly, I

Hi everyone, I live on my Super Maramu but am also a broker for Northrop & Johnson representing Amel in Asia. The 55 can be configured either with two aft cabins both doubles or one huge owners

Wow! Great timing for me. Thank you so much. I have to agree with your over-all position that marketing must have gotten too much power after the Master passed away. Although I have yet to own

I certainly like the way Amel designed the SM, or I would not have bought one. And this does not apply specifically to my boat, because the previous owner installed battery terminal fuses to cover

I'm a believer, Bill, but I need insurance. Kent

Thanks Alan, I was looking for a battery terminal fuse block with max amperage of 450A or so. The highest amp ones I can find are 300A max. If I can avoid mounting a fuse block somewhere, I'd rather

I have too agree the 54 was Amel Yachts at their best and maybe the last true yacht Henry himself approved. The 55 is more modern and arguably the better sailing vessel. The interior seems to fall in

Yep, I get it, and I get the reason, which makes sense to me. I've got two insurance companies now telling me that I have to comply with the recommendations of the surveyor. The old insurance

Hi Kent, Blue Sea have fuses up to 750 A... see P45 of http://assets.bluesea.com/files/resources/reference/Quick_Guide_to_Blue_Sea_Fuses_and_Circuit_Breakers.pdf Cheers Alan Elyse SM437
