Hi, I did away with the accumulator tank altogether and installed a Jabsco variable-flow pump two years ago: Jabsco V-Flo 5.0 Water Pressure Pump, variable flow, constant pressure. Model

Hi Duane, I promised Bill and Duane I would post a summary of the problem and have changed the subject line for better results in searches. I emailed Duane rather than posting, hoping to sort things

Hi Craig, Yes, it was from ACMO. Shipping by air to Antalya, Turkey was euros 530. Everything was nicely packed and labeled (in French) on a pallet. Best, Mark Sabbatical III, ASM #419

Hi Mark, Thanks for the data point on price. Was that from ACMO? Did you have it shipped and, if so, to where and for how much? What's an "ASM"? Cheers, Craig, SN#68 Sangaris ---In

Hello Dominique We installed a Jabsco par 4 pump with a Johnosn 2 liter accumulator tank, we thought the Jabsco was to small and the quality did not look great. So fare it works very well. We will

SM 2000 - AMFA pump and fresh water system The pressure tank membrane is punctuated AMEL La Rochelle seems unable to provide and AMFA is no where to be seen but some leftover inventory with

Hi, I paid euros 7497.98 without shipping last year. The price was the same for right or left handed turnbuckles. All one needs to add is nylon spacers and grease for the headstay.

Putting holes in cored deck has been the death of many a boat from water intrusion. Nothing the dull thud of the plastic sounding hammer when it finds wet core to make a sailor's heart sink. It's not

Craig, Thank you for your response and the information. I asked them about the right-hand/left-hand turnbuckle thing, and they stated that it would be the same regardless. Maybe there was a shortage

Hi Paul, I just had rigging replaced in Le Marin by Caraibe for 10,500 Euro. They are the shop that Amel employs in Martinique and uses all original ACMO hardware. They were working on a SM

Paul, Where you are located you have another option. For about 10,000€, including labor, you can sail over to Martinique and have the rigger that Amel recommends do a turn-key job. Gaëtan Rivet

Hi Paul, We bought ours in 2010. Some time ago Gary Silver posted his Super Maramu invoice from March, 2014 and it was virtually the same as yours at 7947€ plus 780€ for shipping (to where I

Craig and Katherine, How long ago did you obtain your rigging from ACMO? I just received a quote from them for a Super Maramu for 7954 € without shipping. I realize a SM would be somewhat more

I went to La Rochelle prior to the announcement of the 54..on my insistence, Amel would have been able to change my engine to Yanmar since it was still legal for another year in the USA. I

Hi Peter, I have put an update to this below.

Hi, Well we finally got to a place suitable to be able to remove the masts and carry out the repairs so I thought I should do an update. Main Mast Compression Post - The main mast defiantly had rot,

Duane, The comments from Apollo do NOT apply to the type of valve used by Dessalator in the watermaker. There is no way the Dessalator valve can mix from the salt and fresh water supplies if it is

Paul, I am glad you asked about this. I have had the same problem when sailing Ipanema on a port broad reach. I like the idea of using the boom to keep the sheet away from the ladder. That should

Eric, Turning off the freshwater pump may not be enough. If you (for example) are on the hard, living on the boat with the seachest thru-hull closed, the leak is small and incremental. If you turn
