Paul - this is a very common problem solved with an inexpensive (<$20) replacement of the differential girdle spring on the upper end of the grammeter. A very easy do-it-yourself project. Cheers

Hi Arno, Bedankt voor de hulp. Ik zie dat je nog steeds hard bezig bent met LUNA – ze moet nu bijna perfekt zijn. Ik voel me bijna schuldig dat ik niet zoveel doe voor AMELIT😊 Wow – 10

Yup; I recognize those. I have those installed as well extras on board. Are these HARKEN switches? Thanks for the help. Best Regards Teun SV AMELIT A54 #128 COOMERA (near BRISBANE) QLD

Hi Roque, Thanks - this helps a lot. I don’t recognize the switches in your attachments so that indicates that my switches also have been replaced. That matches my impression of the original

I did all my switches in 2016 after I bought the boat in 2015. The switches that Bill shows the photo of is correct. I was in Marseille and Amel Hyeres would have done the change at no charge. I

Paul, a bit more information is needed to give you some help. How many hours are on the engine now? How many hours are on the oil in the crankcase now? Did you get maintenance logs at the

Teun If I may jump in, attached are pictures of the "old" switches,the ones that must be replaced. The new ones are bigger (see Bill's pic). They need a 43 mm diameterhole. Maybe you can check

Yeah, Luna has the weatherfax as well. So I'm guessing there is a antenna cable between the nav-station and the mizzen mast. Although the reception of this thing seems quite sketchy. The pictures I

Paul, It is a bit curious that this problem arose after your oil change. I wonder if the viscosity of the oil that was used for the change was lower than the original oil in the engine before the

Hi Teun, About the switches. As far as I know the replacement was changing the original Lewmar switches with Harken switches. Easy to see as it says so on the switch. On our Amel this was done, all

All clear; makes sense as AMELIT does have Weather Fax. Thanks. Best Regards Teun SV AMELIT A54 #128 COOMERA (near BRISBANE) QLD AUSTRALIA April 29, 202013:10:36 USA cell: +1 832

Now I think about it on AMELIT the SSB was connected to a special SSB antenna on the stern which broke off. Getting a new antenna from AMEL was difficult/impossible & another AMEL owner and I decided

Let me tell you what I know. Amel installed insulators on the Triadic Stay so that the stay wire could be used as a Weather Fax Antenna. As far as I know, every SM and 54 had this "antenna." The coax

Hi Paul; We had the same issue about a couple of years ago. For us, it ended up being a bad pressure switch. This is basically an on-off switch with a minimum set pressure in the switch. If the

Not pretending to know anything about SSB, I was told the triatic stay is not very suitable for SSB transmissions due to its orientation. Does anyone know where the antenna for the AM/FM radio

Actually the pressure regulation is not in the oilfilter. It sits at the bottom of the block in the the housing of the oil cooler as far as I can see on the drawing. This regulator may be stuck. Can't

Defective pressure relief valve in the oil filter? Too coincidental that the problem started after an oil change. Try changing filters. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Thanks Oliver for reply. So in that case can I assume that when AMEL yard delivered my boat with the ICOM IC-802 installed this antenna was OEM connected? Best Regards Teun April 29,

Correction Should read: “AMEL paid for the cost”. Apologies Best Regards Teun April 29, 202011:48:01.
