Antonio, I have posted 2 pictures of my fuel line setup. It would seem you do not need the "T" off your Racor at all. Just keep your original water separator as is and simply insert the Racor in the

Hi Porter, I always thought black smoke was indicative of an injector issue, ie too much fuel being dumped into the cylinders, not a "lower end" issue that a long block change out would address.

Gentlemen (and any ladies), Once again I need your sage advice. The situation exists as follows: I’ve found what appears to be a great boat, for what I think a reasonable price with a quite

I bought one on Amazon . Slightly larger than original. $6.00 SUNS IL4E-240E-G-U6 LED 1/2" Green Indicator Light Raised 240V Wire Ideal Sold by: SUNS International, LLC Ben Driver S/V La Bella

No need for surgery of the existing lamp. These are industry standard panel indicator lamps to fit a 12mm hole. They are easily available in a wide range of voltages and colors (if green shouldn't be

I cut the light socket open with a very fine blade ( a jewelers saw). I then removed the led and the resistor. I put 2 new LED’s in parallel for more light and soldered the resistor back in place.

For the 220V panel, does anyone have a source for the green "AC Power Available" light? Maud says Amel doesn't have them anymore. The best solution, a Blue Sea AC Amp/Volt meter ala Bill R/Bebe, is

+1 That would be sweet!

Hi all. So it's looking pretty good for us to finally become real Amel owners. The 1986 Maramu we're looking at needs the cutlass bearing replaced. This is not a job I've undertaken before.

Gary, My engineering opinion is that going with the 3/8 thickness will be just fine. It's 96% of the thickness of the original, and it is not like 3/8" material was available in France and rejected

Hi Gary, I replaced my windows in St Martin last year with a tinted acrylic and they are much better than clear on a sunny day and nite time vision is not an issue. However, after requesting 10mm

Gary, We used 10mm Plexiglass brand because it supposedly scratches less. We picked a gray tint. We tried to pick a tint darkness about the same as a 54 or 55. Yes, visibility is slightly changed, but

Hi Bill and all: I am preparing to replace my dodger windows due to crazing. I measured the existing plexiglass (aka acrylic, perspex) and it is 10 mm thick (equivalent to 0.3937 inches thick. The

For some time we've kept some Amel manuals on the Island Planet Sails website for people to download. I think what's happening is some people aren't actually downloading the manual but opening the

Hi Pat, I forgot to mention that rig rite seems to think this stuff is made of gold. Budget Marine in the Caribbean and Caribe Marine in Martinique have Goiot gaskets and parts for a lot less money if

I second this view of Qsails. I received my sails last spring and they were of excellent quality. I would certainly buy from them again. Mark Pitt Sabbatical III, ASM #419, Carloforte, Italy

Just checked with Rig Rite , prices seem a bit crazy, gasket $8 /ft. , hold open mushroom knobs $29. each , set of 4 plastic washers per hatch to provide friction to hold open hatches $35 per set of

Bill, I purchased mine from the USA Goiot distributor, and they have a Goiot part number. It seems to me, they are made by Goiot, and you stated they were not made by Goiot. At any rate, my only

Steve, thanks for the link. It looks like they carry the screen inserts (Maud told me Amel didn't have them--1+ year ago) So are the ports on our SMs Traditional Ports # 34.14 (Lens size) 339x135mm
