Hi Tony Thank you. I unscrewed and checked the space behind the Panel. How did you replaced? There is very little space behind to access, I can even not get a Hand in! Did you accessed from the

We cleaned the water tank on our 54 shortly after purchase. We know Amel did not build all boats the same but I cannot believe they would make a significant change such as going from one to three

Also if you get a chance to spend a few days in biscayne bay, its a really pretty place to hang out and sail, and plenty of good anchoring spots there. If you come into the bay take the stiltsville

Hello, I got same setup. Its mandatory to get bets matching the small pully belt disk size and that are possible to get tighten over the back. Some lawnmower belts do that. I got now some OPTIBELT

Hello, I got the same problem. I could imagine that dishwasher detergent might do a better job than chlorine. This dishwash detergent has chemicals that break down organic matter from the algees or

I have a 175A 24v alternator on my 54. With twin pulley v belts. It is the set up with the alternator to port and separate from the 12v alternator and raw water pump belt. I know some 54’s are set

Thanks to all of you. The chemical mace is usually not my favorit. So I will try to dismantle the kitchen locker with the freezer completely. If this is successful and discovers some secrets I will

Hi Ruedi, Should have checked that hose when we were together. Nicholas at Dessolator gave me the fitting needed to retighten these hoses. My hose covers peeled off last year. Nicholas actually made

Success this morning. Voltage sensing cable to regulator had a loose connection at the alternator. That connection was very difficult to get at ... So now voltage at regulator is about .3V HIGHER

Hi Ruedi I replaced my Dessalator hoses in Corfu recently. I got them made (next day service) with stainless steel fittings (not cheap at €270 for the pair but good quality) at a farm equipment

Hi Mohammad Thank you for your valuable input. I justhave seen by chance few days ago that the HP hose on the Membranes got somewater leakage. I have tightening the screw a bit and it stopped.

Alex, An additionalthought: Look at this website or app for planning your trips on the USA coast.It has local bridge names so you can hail them to open, marinas/fuel,anchorages, and hazards. The

I've learned many things from this boat. The original angular anchor chain washdown attachment is missing and probably no longer made. One could convert the line to fresh water but I'm told that the

Stiff brush avery couple of days while anchored in heavy growth sreas will keep that from happening. Regarding the rust, great incentive to wash down with fresh water when hauling anchor and to pull

Good question Danny - would hate to loose an RO Membrane to chlorine destruction. Points to consider: Chlorine dissipates naturally over time - slower in a closed tank, though. So don't flush your

Re-galvanising is a good option when there are signs of rusting and I found it economical Regards Paul

Barry, Alcohol is a common disinfectant. The biggest issue is access to the 3 compartments in the SM and 54, especially if the SM or 54 has Salon Dining Seat Refrigeration. Best, CW Bill
