It is true that two wider seals will fit, but you will lose the double protection of losing oil that was designed by Amel. You know me...stick with the original design unless it is an emergency, or

Welcome Michael, I am sure the administrators will have you sorted soon.

AR stands for arriere/the rear in French. The one up in the forecabin says AV which stands for avant/ before or in front in French. Don’t be hard on yourself. Enjoy your Amel. JOEL F.

Hi Mark, Got it, although you may be crediting me with more naivety than I possess. Cheers, Craig (with a "C". No prob, just don't call me late for dinner.) ---In amelyachtowners@..., <mcerdos@...>

Dear Sirs, I own a 2016 built Amel 55, hull number 47 called LIBERTÉ. I would like to join your group. Best Regards/Michael G. Chalos

Can someone please remind me of the dimensions of the 3 shaft seals that go on the Wear Out Bearing? I am not on the boat, but want to order spares to take back with me. Bob Gallivant Amel 54 #31

Rule 5 says : Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper look out by sight and hearing ..... How can you do that if you're not at least in the cockpit, or better, at the helm ? Dangerous not to

Not just BAD advice in practice, but illegal as well. The ColRegs require you to use "all available means" to avoid collision. If you are on a boat and are involved in any kind of incident and the
