Re: : [Amel Yacht Owners] O-ring
Alexandre,
Sorry, I' m not on the boat. 37-40 C is not our cup of tea, so we retreat to the mere 20's of London for July and August.

Re: : [Amel Yacht Owners] O-ring
Good morning Ian, thanks for the information.
Do you happened to know the size of the O Ring? I had mine measured, but not sure if this is accurate...

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] B&G Sonic Speed
I think small debris and whirling or whipping current will cause what happened. I experienced abarnacle on one of the sensors which basically shut it down.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] B&G Sonic Speed
Hi Alan
Your experience is exactly the same as ours. We haven't been out sailing for a few weeks now but ours did similar things over a period of a couple months (perhaps only 20 hrs sailing though)

Hi Alexandre,
The first time we changed the oil in our propeller leg it was done by an Amel engineer at La Rochelle. He advised me that the O rings that came already

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] B&G Sonic Speed
Hi Alan,
The same happened to me in Teneriffa last year.
Now my Sonic Speed is still working without repair. I think there was some current in the harbour.
Hope this helps

Hi Paul,
I would have to agree with Alexandre’s statement. I had a few things made by the turkeys in Turkey and regret it.

I would think twice or more about having parts made elsewhere.
Even with the best intentions of the Turkey maker, the specs will not be the same.

Re: : [Amel Yacht Owners] O-ring
Ho now I understand your question.
I had it measure once at: 39.5 x 3
Therefore, I don’t think this is necessary to have spare as you will need to change the entire bronze fitting every 2 years and
