We have had a failure of our galley faucet on our Sharki. It looks like the new one Andy on PALADIN purchased from the German catalog would be a great replacement. The posting is from 3 years ago --

Hi Gary, I can confirm the Tradition and Cristal hatch models. I replaced the lens over the forward head with clear plexiglass, cut locally to match the old lens. I scuffed it up with a random

Gary, I just bought a large roll of semi opaque material that I applied like a decal, floated on with water ,squeegeed on to my main cabin hatch. Looks identical to the other hatches. It cut down on

Hi Gary. Not sure of anything except Amel sanded those two hatches, with a jitterbug, to opaque those hatches for privacy. Pretty sure your guesses on the colors are correct. All The Best, Joel JOEL

Hi All: First post on the new site. Really great search engine here, but wasn't able to find this info. Doing the research to replace a couple of lenses on my Goiot hatches as they are starting to

There is a recent episode of Delos where Brian shows you how he repacks the rudder gland. It one of the episodes where they do boatwork on Grenada,

The point is that I wanted to also the EM boxes available as a backup. Also I wanted to protection to work both on furling and unfurling. I did think about the argument that the majority of power is

Hi Thomas, As an opinion, I would not relaunch before getting a solution. So it works on launch... how about in 2 years?? Good luck

Yes- I removed all three rings.....probably original to the boat. When I put three of the Amel supplied rings in, the nut won't grab the stuffing box. I'm going back in the water soon so we will see

To Bill and his exalted team of tech cronies, fantastic work. Just got a few minutes today to play around with the new AYOG and it is a clear improvement in every way. Thanks for your efforts.

Hello Thomas, Did you remove all the old stuffing material? There should be 3 rings with the ends butting 120 degrees apart. I also use plenty of waterproof silicone grease when installing the

Was down to my last quarter turn on the plastic nut so decided to repack the stuffing box while on the hard. Quadrant was seized and needed 6 hours and a custom made puller tool to get it off. Then

I don't get the confusion on the new Bamar furler electronic connection. I just did the change to the new EJF1. The wiring scheme on the (if I remember correctly) 7 pin plug was 2 thermal leads to 2

To Bill and his colleagues who moved this forum to groups.io... I would like to extend my sincere thanks for your efforts in this endeavor. This platform is far easier for me to use and has opened up

An alternative connection scheme: I ran into this problem when changing over to the new Bamar about 7 months ago. After several conversations with Paul and him communicating with Bamar’s engineers

Hi Alex, Well, planning 10 months in the the future is almost impossible in the Caribbean but nothing spectacular happens (like a Hurricane or so) I will be happy to help. It will be interesting to
