Unless that boat was originally sold to North America and probably the USA in particular, it generally would not have a HIN as European governmental registration agencies used the yard build number

James, If you are doing this before buying the boat it sounds like there is not too much you can take apart but if you have concerns about seized valve guides then just removing the rocker cover

On my 1981 boat I have a number laminated into the engine room hull on the port side. It would be obscured if painted over. John Popeye Maramu #91

JPG, I read a bit about the extensive refit you did on Eleuthera, a very deserving vessel to apply money and labour to. I hope that she gives you many carefree years and miles. I will have

Hi, we're would the id # be in a 1983 mango?

Alexandre, Stainless bolts into stainless plate tend to gawl and seize unfortunately. It's why most turnbuckles have bronze bodies and stainless studs. In the event that you actually remove the

OK. I understand the model you have. I think it is better than mine because it is simpler. Try this: Turn OFF the 30 Amp 230VAC breaker on the side. Try to start. Does it start and run OK? If it

Perfect! It was below the port rub rail on the stern. Thank you Gents!!!

Good afternoon Bill, Regarding the “Field Breaker” (check generator) I put a link to the pictures of my genset: http://nikimat.com/onan_mdkal_b_specs_12_volt_kubota_d1105.html For limited

Some older Amels do not have HIN numbers. My 1990 SN24 was assigned one by the State of Maryland. Joel would have better information. Ric Bali Hai SN24 From: amelyachtowners@...

Alex, I am not sure what you mean by "field breaker." Could you explain that further. My Onan has an Emergency Stop switch (breaker), a DC Breaker, and a 230VAC 30 Amp breaker. This 30 Amp breaker is

Hi Jason, The HIN is right below the port rub rail and just a few inches forward of the most aft end of the rail. Steve Davis Aloha SM72 Trinidad

Would a 92' SM have a HIN affixed to the hull somewhere? I cannot seem to locate it. I am not talking about the metal placard next to the companionway stairs. I am looking for the 12 digit alpha

Yes Derick, I check the side, as well as the one in Front. Put them on and off and tried to start… What surprised me is that even with these off, the genset refused to stay on… I am definitely

Alexandre, Did you check the circuit breaker on the aft side of the generator? Also, if the pounding of the waves shook loose some carbon buildup in your exhaust manifold/hose, the exhaust may be

Hi all, As a prospective AMEL owner (hopefully not too long now), I can vouch for all that has been said - potential buyers are active searching every forum, sometime for years before 'going public'.

Good afternoon, The passage from Samana (Dominican Republic) to San Juan (Puerto Rico) was rough (as the waive were in the nose, so lots of pounding. As usual I started the genset to recharge the

Hi all, I will post a photo of the bow thruster drain and chain locker drain and air conditioning condensate drain with associated valves that Walter mentioned. This was installed in SM2K #400, built
