Many thanks to you all for the rapid response, advice and a clear consensus. I'll go with 2 coats of the 350. Great to back aboard an Amel again. About 15 years ago I bought a SM near Nice and took

Hi David; We applied 3 coats of micron 350 last year in Malta. The boat has been in the water since and the result is fine so far. We had used micron 66, when it was available , and it worked fine for

Hi David, For a 2 years in water you need my experiance 3 Layer Micron 350. You can see this also on the HP from International. Liebe Grüsse / Best regards Arnold SY Zephyr SM 203 Am 30.09.2019 um

Hi David Depending on what antifoul is on there already, you should find this out and check what you can use next or how to prepare Once the hull is prepared and you know the gel shield is good 2

Hi all, Just acquired an Amel 54 (#58) and having her hauled and anti-fouled. I am going to remain in the Mediterranean and some advice would be valued. The yard is offering International Unipro or

Thanks Vladimir and Craig..Does the motor simply pop off?? The worm drive doesnt get tangled?? If that is the case, I will do that asap rather than wait for the auto electrician.... -- Adam Body
