Hi Ian, Do you have an AutoProp? My understanding is that they are ver persnickety about growth. I'd take PenAzen out for another trial and if all is OK, I'd probably opt for "if it ain't broke,

Thank you Jeff. Will have the transmission cooler tested. Regards, Peregrinus SM2K N. 350 (2002) Hyères

Hi, I had a similar problem on my Amel 54 with Volvo 110hp turbo. Thought it was the turbo but it turned out to be the sensor which measures turbo boost pressure. It is located on starboard side on

Hi, I suggest you get an injector puller. Not sure on your set up but if the injectors do not thread in but are clamped in then the puller is a rod of steel with a nut welded to one end that threads

Hi All, I thought this subject had been reviewed so many times that there was nothing else to know. However..... Last year our 78hp Volvo was partially rebuilt by the Volvo agent in Hyeres. Not a

All, I did some research on using Mineral Spirits and Paint thinner on Plexiglass to see if my past experience in working with these materials seemed to be accurate. I found that there seems to

All- last week Alban (Amel Martinique) made me this halliard which I installed. It's 50 meters and I'm happy to send photos of both ends of the halliard if anyone cares to see

Hello Amelians- Would love to get advice, so please indulge me. Situation: I'm in Martinique, three weeks from heading to Bonaire for hurricane season.........then Aruba, Columbia, Panama, and through

Ryan, Well I have used mineral spirits/paint thinner (for oil based paints, not urethanes) on Acrylics for 40 years on countless boats without any obvious negative effects but that is the only

Bill This looks excellent. Our 100amp Charger seems to be on the blink. Could this be a reasonable replacement? Seems so. Did you end up getting one? How was the install? I used victron for

Silicone RTV. If you get any squeezed out when screwing down, cut it with a razor and peel it off. Let the screws do the securing and the RTV, the sealing. The next owner will be thankful. Best, CW

I never do any silicone work anymore without

Pat and Ian, that might be a workable idea, but it would be a lot of work. Getting the masking tape right to paint the edges (to cover the sealant) was a huge job, and this would be the same

Hello everyone in the Group I have a Furuno AIS Receiver (passive) and I'd like to upgrade to a Transceiver (active). Now since I plan to go to Raymarine Electronics sometimes in the Future

Ryan, If you want to use the butyl tape, just get some longer screws, pins or even some drill bits that fit the holes in your window panels. Next locate a few corner holes in your frame. Insert

You could try fitting the windows and then stick masking tape round the edges on the front. Then if the sealant does squeeze out it will peel off on the masking tape. Ian Ocean Hobo SN96
