Ruedi, The Amel 54 Bow Thruster has an internal thermal switch (sometimes called thermal reset or thermal cutout). 10 - 15 minutes is a lot of use and will probably cause the thermal switch to open.

Dear Forum On my Amel-54 I discovered that the bow truster stops working after repeatingly use within 10-15 min timeframe. I used the bow truster a bit more than usual when I practiced some

Kent, I completely missed this message. Sorry about that! We are in Deale at Herrington Harbor North. I do have a few more PCBs available from the first batch that I had made. If you are still

Sorry for the blast. I am not on the boat and would like to buy some parts for a side solar panel project Could you be so kind to confirm the diameter of a SM200 railing: - Horizontal railing

Thank you Alan, Yes the leech of the main is already in bad shape. It tends to fold over when furling. The last 2 or 3 feet don’t straighten out until sailing some distance. I’ve had the leech

Hi Thomas, Are you on the Island at present? If you like we could meet. I’m sure you have all kinds of stories on an Amel 54 Regards, Arno Curacao

Hi Arno, Congratulations and welcome ! We put coppercoat on Garulfo last year. It worked great in the med. In the Caribbean, we were disappointed to get green algae. But no barnacles whatsoever,

To close this topic out – We hadour boat papers, receipts, clearance docs and bonding letter etc. We wentthrough the Green Line, nothing to declare. We were asked where we came fromand how long we

Thanks Dean I’ll have a look Appreciated Porter

Congratulations and welcome to the group Arno. I am using SeaHawk Island 44. It is available in the US only for boats over 75 ft. It is tin based and works great for 4-4.5 years. All the big boats

Hi Peter, I have vertical battens in the main and mizzen. As long as the boom is at 90d, furling hasn’t been a problem. Sail shape is significantly better than without them. I don’t know how

Porter, I have posted some pictures of the winter tent on the Facebook group. (I struggle with the logistics the posting attachments on this forum). Cheers Dean SY Stella Amel 54#154

Thanks to all the people for the advice and congrats. It seems the Micron 77-stuff is the way forward.

Regarding Micron 77, in many (most?) parts of Europe it is no longer available having been replaced by Micron 350. We had Micron 350 applied (Micron 77 no longer available) in April, 2018 at Manoel

I agree my 54 seems good with Micron 77. We just completed our circumnavigation. Peter Forbes 0044 7836 209730 ppsforbes@... Carango Sailing Ketch Amel 54 #035 In La Rochelle

Hello Hanspeter Agree absolutely..I don't see why one should connect the arch to the bonding system. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

Hello Peter, If you take the battens out of the sail you have and try to use it, it will be worse. The standard main and mizzen sails on SMs have hollow leeches ie the line of the leech from the end

Thanks Bill R. I will be experimenting without battens before ordering thenew main. I like that idea, because furlingand especially unfurling have been troublesome at times. Best, Peter de

Arno; Welcome to the group and the Amel family. Isecond Ruedi's opinion. We have used Micron 77 and it has performed well in theMed. If anything does manage to attach itself to the hull after a

Good day Amelians Has anybody run the adventure to take apart the 14x150 mm SS axel from the top of the main mast where the back stay fitting is attached ? I foud it well "welded" to the aluminum
