Hello Stefan; After the first season aboard Kokomo about 5 years ago, we started looking for a solution for the “banging” you refer to. After a few iterations of trying different solutions, we

Hi Stefan, In the past, wehave effectively used swimming noodles. Put a rope through about three of themand attach each end of the rope to the furthest aft cleats on the toe-rail(level with the

Andrew, You will not find 24 volts in your Euros. Later model Amels have 24 volts, beginning with the Super Maramu. --

Stefan, I know that this is hard to believe, but the number one cure is time. Over a period of months, this will become less of a distraction to you and you will become more accustomed to it. There

Thanks Eric. Your description reflects that the fuse and capacitor are each in series on the load, with the fuse and capacitor parallel to one another. I assume that wiring the fuse and capacitor

I notice it in harbour, not at anchor so much, but if I run the fan all night it helps drown it out. Nick Amelia AML 54-019

Hi Gents, WE have an SM, so we have the same problem perhaps worse. We use large clothes pegs and attach a blanket overboard across the transom .. its a bit of a faffff but it reduces the wave

Hmmm If it’s really bad we move up front. Tried a couple of other things, but nothing that really works. Ian Ocean Hobo SN96

I have another question for the group. Two years ago in Trinidad I replaced the bearings and seals on the raw water pump on my Volvo D3 as it was dripping sea water. Not ideal since the 12v

Hello to all, today a less technical issue. Do somebody got a (temporarily) solution against the banging (and often really annyoing) waves under the stern/ owners bed of the AMEL 53/ 54/ 55 - when on

Thanks James and everyone else. I am home in the UK for the winter. October was gorgeous in Greece. The sea was warm enough to swim and the air pleasantly warm in the day and almost chilly at night.

Nick, Ahh, so it has finally cooled off in Greece. But what a nice October we had this year eh? As you have already suspected I am sure that the difference in the flow of the oil is just the

Hi John Thanks for the offer and advice! Sorry for the delay, yes an auto electrician found it in 20 mins. It was the alternator bulb/lamp. What usually comes on when your alternator is faulty in a

Hi Bill ,Here is how the genset fan is wired: green yellow in the cable to the fan green yellow Blue in the cable to the blue on on the fan Red from the cable to the fuse. Then one side of the

Hi Bill; I have to give credit to the yard guys at Manoel’s boat yard in Malta too as we came up with the idea together. Off course it is OK to publish. Glad to make a small contribution to years of

Mohammad, I just revised my page in the Amel Book to include that PEARL of sage advice from you. Let me know if it is ok to publish. Best, CW Bill Rouse Amel Yacht Owners School -

Eric, There should be two things spliced in series to the load (brown) wire; fuse and the capacitor. The capacitor is likely closest to the fan (blower). Best, CW Bill Rouse Amel Yacht Owners School -

Ingenious! ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Hi Bill, Thank for the Photo. It was hard to make out but does the black wire and the brown wire from the fan connect to the the capacitor and then the red wire from the powered cable on the other

Hi Mohammad, That sounds like a good plan. Thanks. Nick
