hi Bill, Glad it doesn't apply to the SN ;-) Cheers

Craig, You are exactly right about leaving the helm for this exercise. I was single handed for a good portion of my 2018 season and got caught more than once not starting the genset in time. It

Hi Bill, Yes that looks similar to my board Stefan

Craig, I have known Amel to "learn" and add recommendations that did not exist 30 years ago. I don't know when the generator recommendation started, but it in fact does exist. Best, CW Bill Rouse

Nick, I did it by unbolting at least one of the main switches and pulling it aside. You can also remove the positive wire from the battery bank to the switch by unbolting it at the junction block

Hi John, I stand corrected, thanks. That you must leave the helm, go below and take, what?, 2-3 minutes to fire everything up, then return to begin docking strikes me as a procedure destined to be

Craig, I cannot speak to other models, but in the factory handover of the 55, they made it clear to fire the genset and both chargers prior to starting docking maneuvers. I am not on the boat

I just looked on my 55 and there is a 675A master fuse under the nav seat. I used my Fluke to measure the current coming out of that fuse and the bow thruster doesn't draw power from there when I ran

Hi Mitchell, Thanks!! We never had the oil seal...we have taken it apart many times in the 20 years we have her...that is unless it was removed before we bought her....:/ It would be a great help

Craig, So the rub rail will only fit the SM and Santorin. Thanks for that info. Pat Shenanigans #123

I have a Maramu hull 185 undergoing a refit and wonder if anyone has a source for a rub rail replacement. There are some going to be made for a Super Maramu and I was wondering if the Maramu is the

Hi Helen, I miss read what you were doing. I thought you were referring to the lower unit. As far as your oil leak goes. There is a 85x110x12mm oil seal with stainless steel spring at the top of the

I have searched every millimetre of the saloon and searched again and there is no manual switch for the TV lift system anywhere. The manual switch must be something added in later builds to mine. --

We have one in the cupboard immediately aft of the TV. Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98 - Grenada

Hi Ken, While you say, "Thank you Bill (Rouse) for a fact I didn't know, and I don't think that most Amel owners were aware of: That Amel suggests owners to run the genset every time the bow thruster

Courtney, I have checked everywhere and there are no manual buttons anywhere for the lift. -- David Crisp SV Wilna Grace Amel 54 #58

Thanks Bill, Alas it is not the Macerators. I hate working in the space for the main battery on/off as it is so easy to short out the positive to negative with a ratchet handle... maybe I can cover

Arno, and Bill, The fact is that large current draws on your batteries will kill them faster. Yes, a battery can supply a lot of current, but if you use this capability you shorten their life over
