James, The Quick unit uses a different sensor technology than the Amel OEM unit. My understanding of the original sensor is that it is an inductive sensor where the moving magnet generates a pulse of

Ian, Dave Huffmanknows Amels very well and did our survey at purchase: http://www.huffmanmarinesurveys.com With bestregards, Mark Skipper Sailing Vessel- Cream Puff - SM2K -

Does anyone have contact info for a knowledgeable AMEL surveyor in South Florida? I need an insurance survey done.

Hello Amelians - I have been trying to figure out how to install a new chain counter display on my 2002 Amel SM2K. The original display from Pochon functions, but the LCD screen is barely

Take a look at the file "Changing ball bearings ...". We had the same problem on Lady Annila a few years ago. The file I reffer to shows all parts and what was wrong with ours. Maybe it could help

Hello again, I read Craig's post and my last message was probably not clear enough. Once full of water (as per the test we made at AMEL) a Super Maramu's cockpit (when we unplugged the drain holes)

Bill Kinney, Thanks, that is exactly the information that I was looking for. I don't mind changing the lip seal when the flocking wears away. The non silicone wax also sounds like a great idea

Oliver, Many thanks for the confirmation of the drain holes for the companionway slider box being part of the original construction. When I first got my Amel, I noticed that a small amount of

James, The original seal was what the autobody people call a "dew wipe" for a car window, the part that is supposed to squeegee off film of dew when you roll the window down. As Mike described, they

Hi all, I bought an ARC GlobalFix Pro with the SeaShelter mounting bracket (the kind that auto-releases if the boat sinks). It's designed to mount to a vertical part of the hull... aside from not

Olivier - truly amazing! Thanks for the background. Out of curiosity, did you measure how long it took to drain the cockpit with the regular cockpit drains not plugged? In your test I assume that

Hi James, You won't get any argument from me! Enjoy your Amel! Cheers, Craig SN68

Hello proud owners of AMEL dry boats, from Sharki to AMEL 54, the companionway hatch slides into a wooden "box" that collects the potential water that could flow between the rubber "licker" seal and

Hi Craig, We like to keep cans and tools in the normally dry main bilge forward of the companionway slider so even a gallon of saltwater from a leaking companionway slider could do a lot of damage

Hi, As I have said before My companionway slider is varnished and I use furniture polish on it. The polish I use is Neopol original cream polish and I have had no trouble re varnishing. My rubber

Hi James, Wow, that's some scary arithmetic, which I'm sure is correct. If you've got a 1 foot head of water on your companionway hatch for an hour (let's see, that's like over the cockpit seats), uh,

The belted weather strip from Rockauto was "flocked" over the rubber so it is a felt-like material that touches the sliding hatch. Slides with much less friction than the original rubber against the
