Hi Dean,
Bad luck with the shaft brake. It is very likely you have terminal damage to the plates in the gearbox. However start with an oil change. The drain plug is under the box. Run it until its

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] engine cruising RPM
Yeah. Water injection would have been nice. Our naturally aspirated 2-stroke diesels, running at constant speed of course, never carboned up.
But the turbos on the EMDs were a mistake

I know your feelings Alex.
It’s just such a loss to everyone on the forum as well to not have you Sailing, and so selfishly we all push. I hope things go well with Arno!!

Thanks for the tips. My best guess is that the leak is at the forward end of the main run, which is the bottom-right of the photo. I'll try to confirm with some dye -- good idea! The

Good morning Porter,
Replying off the forum.
I am in Martinique helping a friend (Arno, new on the forum) to purchase his 54. I mentioned you to him a few times.
I don’t know about another boat…

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] engine cruising RPM
I have worked also many years as chief engineer on cargo ships. Main engines has often been 2-stroke Diesel with turbos. To clean the turbos they was feeded from time to time with a water injection.

Re: leak in saloon drain hose
I'm concerned my photo didn't appear correctly because I can't find it on the Yahoo site, so I'm attaching it a different way this time. Hopefully this makes it more clear what I'm talking about.

Re: Genoa electric furling gears
Kostas,
Could you post the plans Maude sends you in the files section? As time goes on Amel will be less and less likely to stock them and the plans will help a lot.
Much appreciated,
