Thanks, all! I'll give it a go and report back later. And Bill, THANKS for that tip. It'll make all the difference in the world to getting me up off the couch and into the forecabin to start :)

Paul! I think of losing toes every time I close that thing :) But thinking on it now, it would be far easier and not mess with the access like struts would, if you just took a foot long piece of fat

Thanks, done... https://amelyachtowners.groups.io/g/main Bill

Hi Bill, I'm glad you noted "world tour" rather than circumnavigated as that allows a wider interpretation. Maramu 121 Libertad 2017 Dennis & Virginia Johns SailBlog: s/v Libertad Dennis SailBlog:

Did you drop a note to Alexandre formerly of Nikimat. He had a ton of unused spares. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi Did you ask Maud if she can get you one? Considering the price of FedEx, I would order a few other breakers at the same time. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

I found some at LEGRAND ELECTRICS in France... some years ago... Jean-Pierre Germain, Eleuthera,SM007, NZ

Does anybody have a source they can share? We are working on an Amel 54 and have found the Diruptor 60 AMP breaker for the staysail furler has failed. Getting Diruptor breakers in the USA is

Hi William, ON SM384 the Display of meters will power off if you press and hold the button for about 15 seconds. The amber LED on the port side of windlass itself will go out if I turn off both

Davi - to add to Jamie's comment, I've had 4 or 5 breakers fail since my boat reached about 15 years old. Your A54 is getting to that point, so I wouldn't consider it surprising to see a failure.

Davi, That entire board is removable. Look for the single black thumbscrew inside the door where the breaker is located. I have known this breaker to fail, but it is unusual. BTW, when you have the

Davi, almost certainly it is a defective breaker. The breaker should stay on if you flip it on WITHOUT power to the circuit. The fact that it always stays off indicates a broken latching mechanism in

Hey there, and thanks! Our windlass has no switch on top, so that's out. I'm betting on the bad circuit breaker still....

DEARS, it could be that the two windlass switches on the top of the anchor windlass maight allow some water infiltration that causes the problems of the short circuit with the relative high

Hi Davi, If it is a swap to a new breaker of the same capacity that is a reasonable test with low risk. Just do not hold it up if it pops. Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Hey Danny, just to clarify, the breaker there now is 100A, so this is a straightforward swap. I'm trying to get my head around the odds it is the breaker. Both windlass and genoa worked fine a week

Hi Davi, I would advise care. A breaker pops usually because there is a short circuit down stream from it. It is there to stop wiring burning or electrical gear being damaged. So adding a high amp

Hey Amelians! So I'm stuck here in total lockdown in Greece (really can't complain, it's amazing), so it's not a tragedy, but the circuit breaker on the windlass/genoa circuit of our SM is tripped at

My chain counter is powered up anytime the 24/12 volt is on. I have interrupter switches on all my electronics but I cannot trace the counter power source. It's not in any of the Amel wiring
