Duane, I have seen it on an Amel boat, but I don't remember which one. It was toolbox with a flat top that can be used for some work. It fits perfectly under the first step of a companionway. It was

Ben, Frank is the electrician for Amel in Martinique. I am sure he can get you these capacitors. And I am now 99% sure that was your problem. There is a photo in the Photo section of the Owners Group

Hi Olivier, Is there a leak detector on Kimberlite #376 built in 2002? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Derick, Like the toolbox mount too! A good place on the boat for something heavy. Bill Kinney SM160 Harmonie Port Canaveral, Florida

Duane, I plan to buy small comercial portable workbench that fits under the comanianway first stair. It is made out of wood and it has good features for working and tool storage. I belive that it is
