Actually the capacitor may also help in reducing the sparking of the brushes and reduce the wear and tear on those things. So definitely recommend to replace. I can't tell you the value though as our

Sorry, After the storm 2 weeks ago we were without internet for quite a while. I will be ordering these switches this coming week. Please confirm your order. I will pay for them and you can send me

Last year when I was in New Caledonia Marina I was alongside an SM that had fitted a very good fold down ladder to the stern, (not attached to the bumper) I will try and find my photos of

Try Brad at Imtra, the distributor in the US. They've been pretty helpful and responsive. Norwegians (Sleipner) may still be on summer holiday. :) -- Scott 2007 A54 #69 SV

Arno, I got it to work only with the help of my friend. I literally couldn't connect to the Mikrotik Wap AC to even try to set it up for a year! Having a Mac doesn't help. I believe your Badboy is

Hi Porter, The capacitor should be labeled. On one side of the disc, I expect you'll see some tiny numbers. If you can write them down and/or get a clear photo, that would help a lot for identifying

Yesterday while cleaning contactor and brushes and then reassembling the bow thruster, accidentally we tore this small wire and capacitor vs resistor which connected between the brushes Set “A”

Hi Bill, Not surprised about the change to ProFurl. Reckmann may be good stuff but the price is eye-watering. If you look closely at the mainsail you will notice an block in the mainsail and a line

Arno, I did not notice that but did notice the use of electric ProFurl furlers rather than Reckmann furlers on the genoa and staysail. Bill

Ah thanks pictures I saw I thought it was fiberglass or fiberglass encapsulated wood. Oh well it was an idea

Dear forum, Did anyone have a close look at the furling system on the new Amel 60 for the main sail. From what I can see they changed the way this works but the pictures are not very detailed. More

James, Assuming you have the OEM Amel bumper, the bumper would likely just rip off the back of the boat if you tried that. It's made from some sort of foam rubber and held in place by just two M8

Paolo Since I don't have 220 Volt on board I can use the cooker only in the harbor. -- Gerhard Mueller Amel Sharki #60 Currently Kalamata, Greece

Hi Paolo, Thanks and apologies for the slow reply. The cooktop I am looking at is the Miele KM 7200 FR with dimensions of 574mm W, 504mm D and 48mm H. Looks like this should fit well. Not cheap but

Anyone modify their back step to accept the stock ladder in a down position. Send like it would be easy enough to add a socket to the bumper and make it a lot easier to get in and out with gear

Hello Charlie, If I’m not mistaken, the A50 has a different BT. I believe it is made by Sleipner. Congratulations on your 50. Jean-Pierre Germain, SY Eleuthera, SM007, NZ

Thank you so much for this, Paul. I haven’t been very active on this group yet, but I was lucky to acquire SM#50 in the fall of 2017. I must admit the bowthruster has been quite a black box to me,

Hi Vic, You note you've got a West Marine (WM) nearby and Kevin said he used Defenders. I just did a bunch of replacements - WM was $7.29 for the Scandvik ABA 316 SS SAE10. A local FL store (Boat

Vic, You have some good questions and it will be interesting to read the input. I can tell that for myself I try to only use the Shields exhaust hose below waterline and always double clamp those
