Duane, IMPORTANT DISTINCTION: I am fairly certain that John Clark is describing the Climma engine room mounted AC compressors found in early model SMs with Climma 2-part ACs. The Heat Exchanger (HX)

We had the boat put on the hard when Hurricane Florence was off shore, not knowing if it would create storm surge, or even impact the Mobjack Bay area because we were back in Texas. I got back to the

John, Based on the Amel Appendix sketch of seawater flow, if the aft cabin AC unit heat exchanger was plugged, then the other two units would not get any flow. Also, if the AC HX was blocked, would

I am sorry , I failed to mention that the leak is on the Onan Gen engine ,not the Volvo. Thanks, Pat

I have discovered that all three nipples screwed into the high pressure pump are leaking around the threads. I have a Volvo TMD22a . I could only get a wrench on the one on the end and tightened it a

Hi Alan Thanks for those comments which make me wonder if this is just a prop grease issue??? Let me explain ... Firstly I should say that this boat has never been cruised before Lauren and I set off

Hi Colin, i don't know where that information came from about later SMs having Maxprops. Elyse is 2004 and we have the Autoprop. i changed the bearings 4 years ago, even though there were no issues.

Same with me...on the waiting list Jean-Luc Mertz posted pics of a plastic pulley just recently, but no information about them. Jean-Luc can you share some information about these pulleys? Is it

Hello to the many, like me, is search of the elusive toe rail pulley (aka headsail car drive pulley). Inquiries to Maud at SAV Amel since August have yielded the same response – €214 each, not

Colin, If I was starting form a bare prop shaft, or from a fixed prop, my preference would be the Maxprop, but in your case, you have the Autoprop. I definitely agree with Bill Rouse that the

Hello, Is it still possible to get the original anchor wash pump for the A54 (Reya A66)? Are there any good alternatives that might be easier to source? Thanks, Thomas GARULFO A54-122 Curacao

Wolfgang, It can be a leak in the solenoid. It happened to us a couple of years ago. We replaced it but there is a page on the Amel Club website that explains how to dismantle it and clean it. It’s

Hi Thomas, Starts by itself- I don't known Why. Perhaps dirt in the waterline, shocked by heavy weather ? Von Samsung-Tablet gesendet -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "'S/V Garulfo'

Hi Wolfgang, I was going to add information on what started that saga. I had left the port hole of the aft head open and a downpour happened while we were away. I can only guess that somehow triggered

Hi Thomas, Our forward toilett did 2 Times start toilett flush and did Not stop - on the way toilett empty the watertank.the same time the freshwaterpump did Not stop, because voltage /Battery were

Mark, I was too, until I was told differently by a respected person at Amel. Attached is the PDF I sent him. I am expecting an answer tomorrow. Best, CW Bill Rouse Admiral, Texas Navy Commander

I'm in the series plumbed camp as well. The AC unit in the v-berth has one hose in and one hose out and Amel's own documentation shows that at least the SM2k's are plumbed in series. See the

Hi Miles On Air Ops the previous owner added large eye bolts to the aft lifting plates so we use them to run a spring line aft. Then I have a line with a large attached carabiner that we hook onto the

Hi Colin, As you shop I'd recommend you include in your cogimitations the AutoStream (not Autoprop), by Seahawk, Australia (available worldwide). It is similar to the MacProp but beautifully made in

About your remark to the system to prevent the pump running dry. There is a shop on curacao that sells a slightly different pressure switch that will prevent just that. When I bought a new pressure
