We had the read the same issues raised about Volvo in the 54, prior to our purchase. Upon further research and discussions with people who know the actual number of 54s that have had issues with their

Hi Eric, I don't believe Amel put holding tanks in SN's so, like ours, yours was likely done by a prior owner. (Just the forward was done when we got our boat - I later did a 2nd tank in the aft

Thanks for your reply

Hi Ros, I am about 1735mm tall, I have spare height in the heads and aft cabin and I touch the ceiling in the forecabin, I do have 5mm of insulation stuck to the ceilings which most Sharki''s don't

The headroom in the head is 180 centimeter and in the aft cabin is 160 centimeter and forward cabin is 184 centimeter. All measured at highest places. -- Gerhard Mueller Amel Sharki #60 Currently

Hi Eric, We have been wrestling with holding tank issues for years, latest these past few months. There are numerous posts (maybe 300) on these issues on the bulletin board going back over the past

Hi Guys, I am late to the party but I have the same questions as MATTHIAS, thank you very much for the already very useful measurements. I am wondering the headroom in the head and also in the aft

My controller also only puts out 24v. So I use 24v pumps only. And the controllers are no longer available says costal climate. But... pretty easy to build a 3 solenoid relay and a step down converter

Hi all. After 10 years and 50,000 + off shore miles in Ocean Pearl SM 299 I thought strongly and seriously about stepping up to a 54. However I was put off by following the posts on this site It

Amel stopped using Yanmar on the 54's as they did not conform to the new pollution standards in Europe. I took a test drive on the 54 when they were still delivering the 53's. Joel Potter came

Thank you, Yes I wondered as most late year 53s are yanmar. Then when they built the 54 they went back to Volvo. Not sure why they did that. Yes get you point on the bunks etc which is why I

A few points from my understanding of the system. The relay is driven by 12V. The system always drives the relay with 12V regardless of being operated from 24V. There is a reason for this which I
