Lisa The transmission on the Santorin is the same as the Super Maramu, well the big ‘C’ drive. I presume you have the Perkins Prima M50? They have a Hurth gearbox between the Drive and the engine,

John Don't look too hard for the water flow sensor that Eric spoke about. If your Onan is original and if nobody added one and also changed the PCB, you will not have one. I am not sure of the year

What goes in must come out. A couple ofhelpful hints: Use dishwashing soap to install new impellers. Also the added benefit, when you seebubbles off the side of the boat you know the sea water

Hi John, There is also a sensor in the intake water hose to the raw water pump. The hole in the sensor is small and frequently becomes clogged with rust, It is easy to remove, it just unscrews. It is

Liasa, I do not know anything about the transmission on a SN. However the last thing in the drive chain is the transmission. My guess I that your transmission is slipping. I would have someone

Hi All, I case anyone hasnot seen this before. Started the Onan7KW generator after a passage and it turned off shortly after starting. It gave the seven blinking light troublecode. My manual

I just was plagued by the exact scenario. Make sure the transmission fluid dipstick has an excellent seal. And my issue: i had changed the filter and thought i’d seated the filter cap well, but

Lisa, I am just guessing but it is possible that the transmission on the engine is beginning to slip. How does the transmission oil look? Also is the transmission running hot when this problem

Thanks Craig. We’ve been investigating all day. Nothing on the prop and it looks good and clean. No black smoke or any other symptoms coming from the engine. The prop spins while we are looking at

Bill, Thanks for your input and opinion. It seems that most of the Amels that I have seen to date seem to be down by the stern at least some but on the other hand I don’t hear many complaints

James, I could speculate about the effect of minor changes in fore and aft trim, but it would be just that--speculation Some boats have a very carefully calibrated bow immersion, any deeper and they

Chuck for the bottom Lee, the Dive Guy is great his cell number 912 399 9512 Courtney 54 Trippin'

Hi All, Can anyone who has stayed in Brunswick for a time recommend a boat caretaker in my absence. Someone to do the regular planned maintenance and checks. Cycle things flush the watermaker e.t.c I

Bill, I appreciate your speculation and think that you well might be right about spreading the weight out being a bad thing on a more modern hull. I did however want to point out that I have good

Good morning Lisa, Have you dive to see how clean was your hull and propeller? If not, is your boat may be more loaded than before? Sincerely,

Hi Lisa - that's the same prop my SN came with, and I'm quite sure that's what was originally installed. The prop itself is not bonded and there is no bearing inside the prop, so that's not the

Danny, I haven't done the experiment of moving heavy things from the middle of the boat out to the ends as a sailing experiment, and not sure that will every bubble up to the top of my priority list.

I own a 1997 Amel Santorin with what I believe is the original propeller, which is a 3 blade bronze propeller. As you may know, there is no manual in existence for the Santorin, and the boat

Danny, This is an interesting area of discussion that can affect the way that we use our boats. I understand the simplistic explanation that you provided but I think that there is quite a bit more

Hi James I haven't fiddled with weight distribution in the Amel to see changes but in my racing days, a lot. Weight in the bow, in my experience worsens pounding. Take a stick a yard (metre) long,
