Hi Michael, Valved manifolds are a great idea. We have a ball valve between the Dessalator feed and the manifold (don't know if all SMs do) and that is useful for 2 reasons--1) when you flush the

Hi guys, So u change only the reenfoced ones or all? How much is the stays from ACMO? OLIVER from Vela Nautica in Portugal Sent from my Huawei Mobile

Hi Nick I just got my new rigging from ACMO and it is a straight swap. That means the pin for the new 12mm wire, that replaces the current 10mm, is thinner than the others 12 mm wires pins. I

Gary Late model SM Bow Thrusters do capture any sea water seepage and drain that to the gray water bilge. This change was done sometime in 2003. Best, CW Bill Rouse Yacht School - Supporting Amel

I see the point in using jumper wires but for those with or contemplating lithium: I would suggest using copper bars. When I changed to lithium, the electrician installed jumper wires between the 12v

Not sure exactly where we will be. I am happy to do the job myself thanks. Nick Amelia 54-019

I did not get the dishwasher option but am reconsidering. It is the Bosch SKR 5102. Anyone have experience with this dishwasher? I assume it’s the same on the 54? I understand you cannot run it

Looks like we have a few 54s in the Ionian. FYI, we are flying Nicky from Malta to Corfu to replace our shrouds on or around June 24. If you feel the timing will work, I can talk to Nicky to schedule

That’s good to know, thanks Nick Welcome to Greece! I made your trip from the Canaries last year and haven’t left Greece yet! Incidentally, Sami harbour on the east of Kefalonia is currently

Thanks guys, it looks like if I order from ACMO then it is a straight swap. So that is what I will do. I have thought hard about all this and at the end of the day I do not want to have that niggling

Hello Nick; We are currently going though the same process and we have just released the order to ACMO. If ordered from ACMO, you will receive the entire parts required for the upgrade. This

Nick, Not an expert but I know that via many rerigging jobs that with Imperial sized wire end fittings that a range pins sizes will be available for a given wire size. I am not sure but suspect

Further to my email below, ACMO just sent me an email explaining that they provide a specially made product with the same pin sizes as the old so it is a case of just swapping the stays over. Kind

Further to the news that the Amel 54 should have 12mm aft lowers not 10mm and that the intermediates should be beefed up from 8mm to 10mm. I am now seriously working this out. On the face of it I can

My bow thruster will not leak to an exit to the bilge. It will be stopped at the forward head where it must be dealt with manually. If you have a situation where seawater has a direct path to the

Thanks for sharing your own methods. I am going to install a valved manifold to allow me to close off different water circuits. Thinking of additional point for the flushing hose. Michael Elaine

Hi all, I've seen a ONAN part list on this forum very recently, but for some reason can't find it with the search function. Anyone willing to share that again? Thanks a lot, Alex SY NO

Hi Davi, Thanks for asking. We don't flush engine, generator, etc after every use. When we do flush things in fresh water depends. For example today we are at Renaissance Marine (very nice, BTW) in

Hey Paul, if you do manage to order some small quantity I wouldn't mind an order of 4 as I have 2 lights that are out. The rockers are broken so I'd like 4 of the rockers and 4 switches just in
