Yes FKG did the mechanics. I did all electrics myself. Haven’t been out sailing yet but they seem to have done a good job. Arno Luijten SV Luna A54-121

Thank you Gary. Yes, I experienced a bit of sticker shock with the St. Thomas rates. -James

For reasons once explained to me but long ago forgotten, not all Amel boats of any model are sequential by hull number. Many are while some are not. I have seen boats of a "newer/younger"hull number

Thanks Mike, You would have to remove the pulley block at the fwd end of the track also. What is it that holds that on ? Is it the eye bolt in the pulley axle ? Thanks for your

Hi, My hull is #17 and I have the 6.5mm fitting. Will let you know next week how I get on with Amel. Barry

Hi Arno Did you use FKG to do the job? Alex Gesendet von Yahoo Mail auf Android

Alex, Thanks for the update. I made a note of this in my 54 files. Best, Bill Rouse 720 Winnie St. Galveston, Texas 77550 832-380-4970 My Calendar

It seems AMEL changed the stem fitting right after Jeff's Hull #14. I own #15 and was lucky to find out that my 54 has the 20mm stem fitting. Sorry to hear about everything Jeff had to go through

Woody Mine's a Santorin, so my socket is 12v and is for an electric dinghy pump. I have a few cables going through that conduit; aerial cables for SAT phone and Navtex and cable and earth wires for

Hi Woody, I have a 54 but used the same conduit for my solar and wind generators. That 24v socket is live on my boat and is for an electric dinghy inflator! I believe the conduit is for a SSB antenna

Yes, the conduit was for a SSB installation. Amel did some verynice things to aid in after-factory SSB installs. This was one of them. Theaddition of the dynaplate on the rudder is another plus saving

Pretty sure the conduit was for the SSB connection from the nav station to the tuner. The outlet is for a dedicated 24 volt dinghy inflation pump. Amel took two 12 volt pumps, wire tied them together

Holy cow! It’sno wonder the marinas in St. T where empty when we were there. I guess you don’tneed very many boats if the fees per boat are so high. Don’t forget aboutPalmas Del Mar Yacht

Hi All While exploring ways to run cable for solar from the aft of the boat to the battery bank, I discovered an empty conduit running from near the nav station to the aft locker. It's siliconed up at

I know that in St. Thomas things will be expensive. Crown Bay Marina came in at $4.15 per foot per day, with our a slight discount for monthly rates. Yacht Haven Grande is higher and I'm not sure

Hi Danny We had a double whammy in that there was gel coat cracking under the track where (we think) the backing plate had expanded AND the car inserts had disintegrated and needed replacing. We did

Hello Alan, We replaced the cars on Aletes last year. Methodology was to disconnect the stanchion at the forward end of the track and push it aside sufficiently to slide the car off the track. The

Thanks Bill, I now have a couple of sets of the sliders. how did you go about replacing them ? Did you need to take the car off the track? If so, how did you go about that? There's been some talk

Hi Bill, Thank you for your continued support for current, past and soon to be again Amel owners. Could you please include me in the group. Kind Regards Peter -- Peter Buckley 83 Twelfth
