B&G Hydra 3000 True wind direction
Hi to the group,
My B&G HYDRA 3000 does not display True wind direction =shows 000.If I look through the setup headingsource is 016 - which I think is wrong. Before I try to test I ask the group.

Furuno “Loss of GPS”/DOP Error alarm and AIS help
Hi All
Grateful for your thoughts:
1. My 2008 A54 #102 has the Furuno GPS Navigator GP-150. It’s recently started sounding an intermittent No GPS alarm and, more frequently, a DOP Error alarm. It

Bill,
I think some of the confusion has actually come from Amel. Alan Grayson of Ora Pai (SM #406) recently rebuilt his Main Furler Assembly with parts from Amel. They sent him a parts list that

Re: Amel OEM Rigging
Hi Eric,
FWIW, on my Santorin in 2008 I paid €4706 plus €145 for shipping to Italy. ACMO said they did not have to collect tax if I used a US credit card.

On my Amel 54 the seal is exactly the same as the one behind the prop at the C-drive - of these Imalways have spares and when I needed it a week ago, lucky me found out...

Re: Free or Tie-on the steering wheel
Hi Pat
You’re absolutely right. It’s not a good Idea.
I tried have done it also with flex bungee cables. In some place it works well. Not much shock on the cables. Sometimes I had it too loose

Mark,
There has been some information out here that the seal is VA45mmX60mmX7mm Seal OR 45mmX58mmX7mm. The middle dimension is the shaft size. I know for a fact that Amel 54 #69 had a 58mm shaft. One

Re: Steyr impeller maintenance
Hello Jose
I am going to remove the raw water pump and replace the impeller that way, it may take longer but I expect it to be easier.
I’ll let you know if it does work out easier

Re: Steyr impeller maintenance
Paul hello
You are correct; it is almost impossible take out the impeller without remove the oil filter first.
I change the impeller and after take out the oil filter is ± easy change the impeller

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Main Sail Furling Motor Issue
Just a friendly reminder to my fellow Amel owners to do a regular check on the shaft seal that sits over the main furler cylinder. It's the one circled in RED in the picture below:
I would advise
