Ian, On our SN (#68) the bow thruster and Foc furler are hard wired with no fuse or circuit breaker (diruptor). Real men don't need them ;-) The 100amp fuse (mine is Blue Seas pop-up breaker style) is

Years ago when I used to cave dive. we used an aircraft government surplus 3000 psi compressor. it was about 10 inches in diameter and about 14 inches high. They used to cost about $300- I still see

Thanks Barry; We ended up scrapping our season in the Med. They wouldn’t let us in anyway, since we are doing so great in the US. The new strategy is, stop looking and the problem will go away.

Hi Mohammad, Hope you and Aty are doing OK. Not being able to sail freely is a big down for our system. Today I found the local company here in Le Marin, Martinique who have made a hardtop for a 54.

Hi Barry; We have been looking at adding the hardtop for a while and plan on doing it in 2022 due delays caused by COVID-19. Since it appears you have added solar to your cockpit top, which is

Hi Paul, I have attached some photos showing how I raised the boom line. Very Best Barry and Penny “SV Lady Penelope II” Amel 54. #17 Sainte Anne anchorage Martinique

All excellent points Scott. Cold seawater is much better at cooling than warm seawater!!! We actually installed an air-cooled compressor for the main deep freeze, so its not in the circuit. That has

Porter - I run freshwater through the pump so scale/lime isn't really affecting me. Pump still dies prematurely. The Frigoboat UK spec'd pump (4105-343 Flojet) is 24v and flows 3.3gpm. The Frigoboat

Hello Paul Can you please send me your contact infos for the Coltri dive compressor. I'm hesitating between the Bauer Junior and Coltri. I know the Coltri Company in Italy. You can email me direct;

Hi Thomas, I recently purchased a Coltri MCH 6 single phase 220 volt 50 hz with a inox stainless steel frame for $3,500.00 that fits nicely into the space. I am happy with it. I can send you the

Hi Dean, You’re absolutely correct with the E51385Interface. Yes, all ok on WASABI and hope you bothare well doing too. BTW: we will winterize in Spain this year and postponed theAtlantic

Ian, your model and hull number...it makes a big difference.

I can’t find any breaker for the bow thruster and genoa furler motor. There is a 100amp fuse located in the bow thruster recess near the solenoids. also when I turned off the main 12v power for the

Billy, What's your boat name, model, hull # and location? I've not seen acrylic instrument mounting panels on Amels (just acrylic switch panels), but maybe newer models have that. On my SN I had to

As with the heart, the condition of the arteries predicts the condition of the pump? I'm sure we've all changed many an old seawater line. Lime and scale. Marine atherosclerosis. I’m no

Hi Ruedi, Hope you and Sabine are well, and enjoying sailing once more. I agree entirely with your description of the Danfoss-E51385 interface. To make it maybe a little clearer, in our 24V boat the F

Hi all First I have to say the Fridge-cooling on WASABI is running fine and constantly since 3 years without any issue (living 8-10 Month per year on WASABI). I never replaced the pump and it’s

My B&G Vulcan 7FS failed at the helm and i purchased a new Vulcan 7R. Because its a boat, its mounting system is slightly different so I need to enlarge the hole and drill new holes. I'm thinking of

Jarek, First that I have heard of ice blasting but sounds like a good idea. I would certainly stick to a mechanical removal method to avoid possible damage to the gel coat from harsh chemicals. In

Hi Porter, A suitable relay would be something similar to OMRON G2RL1. You are correct that a 24V pump operated at12V would deliver about half the volume, and yes the volume is certainly important
