Re: Anchor chain counter
Yes, the 54 and SM are different in terms of chain counters. I’m pretty sure the SM “button” on the windlass is not magnetic, the proximity sensor only requires a metal counter.

Re: Super Maramu Repower
A little over a year ago we re-powered Feierabend with a Beta 85 from the original Perkins M80T. Now we use less fuel, get significantly more torque, and have a quieter ride when we have to motor.

Re: Sore head?
I have done something very similar to what Gary posted, actually got the idea from Gary when I ran across him at Cape Charles, however, I bought two swim noodles and put it across the entire area.

Re: Bilge pump
Hi Alexis,
If your pump is anything like the one on a A54 then the main weak-spot of this pump are the valves. These are flat flappy discs with one straight edge where it is clamped to the body. These

Hello Paul. The Amel 54 uses a vertical capstan Lewmar windlass with an integral chain counter as part of the system. It is entirely different than the Pouchon supplied counter on the Lofrans
