Hi, Here are some photos of my conversion. For some reason I can’t find a photo of the reefer complete. I installed a welded stainless steel tub inside the refrigerator. I will try to remember to

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,

Hi, I had my bottom chemically stripped, 4 coats of Interprotect and 3 coats of bottom paint here in Huntington NY for 5,000 + materials. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

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

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

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

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.

Miles I’m going to pursue the hydrovane and appreciate the setup photos. Many thanks Martin

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

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

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

I'm also really interested to find a headliner match - if anyone knows a close one thinking of doing my aft cabin roof at some point soon All the best Miles Maramu #162

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

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

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

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

Fantastic Miles Great information and User Verified. Even though I have a new monitor, the hydrovane is the set up I desire. Many thanks Martin Hameline VoileOVent 129

Hi to all, Few month after buying my boat in 2015, i had a leakage from the inside part of the water heater. I bought a new one from isotherm ,the same model -basic 40. Since then , 3 more boilers

hi there Martin I am a big fan of windvanes and put one on our maramu last year on my old boat (30ft) we had a monitor this time we chose a hydrovane as we used on on a family boat before and they are
