Re: A55: fresh water pump system : Beam IV

Thank you Michael, That should be the next procedure to investigate . Confusingly the deck hose and the transum shower have good pressure.

Re: FW: [AmelYachtOwners] Headliner fix

KALI MERA is from 1995 and still has the original headliner, no signs of getting loose. Does the new material look different? Can anyone post a picture from the old / new material? fair winds,

Headliner Amel 54

Hi everyone; Since we are on the subject of the headliner issues on the older Amels, I’d like to address some issues we are having on our A54, hoping for a good solution from someone who has

Re: Headliner fix

Joel, Thanks for checking your notes to see what you could find. As I have time, I will do some digging and if I can find out what Amel is now using that works. While the loose liner is a bit

Re: Leaking water heater

Hi Ofer, Do you know where the leakage was from, other than "the inside part of the water heater"? Having had 5 tanks fail in the 5 years since you got the boat is pretty amazing. Have you asked the

Re: Headliner fix

Just an FYI I have a 2008 54 and there is some saging in the headliner. the back is still sticky so with my hand it is easy to push back up but this needs doing about every month.

FW: [AmelYachtOwners] Headliner fix

Hello James. I did some digging around in old notes regarding Amel production during that time. The previous vinyl with the polyurethane foam was trade named Skai and still has a presence in the

Re: Headliner fix

Miles and All, My primary concern with the headliner project is to be sure to use a material that does not break down and an adhesive that does not let go over time. It seems that Amel has things

Re: Bottom paint removal problem

Hi Mark, I do wonder if there is much difference between soda and other dry materials. For what it's worth we had our hull cleaned with dry sand in the UK when the boat was 10 years old. The old

Re: Windvane advise

Hydrovane works excellently for us on SeaLove I think the bigger of the WindPilot range (the pacific 2?) also works on the same principles - ie you lock your rudder and the vane takes over probably

Re: Leaking water heater

Hi Mat, The water heaters were installed by professionals that were sent by the factory. It is something else... The leakage was from the tank . Ofer Magen

Re: Headliner fix

Joel, Would you by chance know of a source for the exact headliner material and adhesive that Amel has been using since 1996? Thanks for the background on this issue. James SV Sueno Maramu #220

Re: A55: fresh water pump system : Beam IV

Just a thought. If you have a leak on the suction side it will allow air to enter the water pipes and this won't compress enough to reach the shut off pressure. Michael. Nebo sm251 Sent from Yahoo7

Re: Leaking water heater

Many times, I’ve heard of people causing leaks in water heaters from overtightening plumbing connections. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt
