Hi Alain, I'm not sure about the stainless as the pipe that is laminated in the hull is probably bronze, I'm not sure. In theory the bonding cable to the anodes should protect the assembly but it is

Dear Mark, Thank you very much for your explanations and great advices. I like your first paragraph😊 The Groco valve is also interesting but do you remember the size because I am not

I have changed the valve on the aft head. My advice to any 54 owner needing to change the aft head valve is to sail to an Amel service center and pay them to change that valve. Before you start

Bob, For ocean crossings, we carried almost 200 liters of extra fuel in jerry cans in the port side deck locker. We never needed any of it and the lowest our 600-liter fuel tank got was about 1/2

Hi Colin, Last saw you as you were in your dinghy hanging onto our rail in Bequia to inform me of your decision to immediately move on through The Canal back to Austrailia. Just curious--even though

Unfortunately, I’ve had way too much experience with this task and I have found that better than pliers/spanners, or even chain wrenches, are the cheapie “oil filter” type rubber belt wrenches

Is there a similar spot on the Maramu? I asked the previous owner of my boat but they didn't know. I've been on the hunt for a good spot but I haven't found one yet. BrianG701@... -- Brian

We installed an Epson proyector in that spot that my son gave us as a present The image is excellent and fills a large screen hanging at the level of back rest of the couch We connected the sound

Bonjour Arno, Thank you very much for your reply and indeed not so much space to work. Anyway, the boat is going to be on the yard from next week so I will let you know my progress😊

Hi Alain, Yes I do. Not a plesant memory I can say. You will need to find a tool (pliers/spanner) that can give you some leverage to turn the old valve off. I removed the lever first to use the

Hi Eric Yes, indeed your fixed tank idea is a far better idea, and I was aware of it from you before we set off around the world but too late for us to have enough time to get this done before

Hi Colin, Instead of dealing with 9 jerry cans , why not have a pair of tanks fitted to the locker as we have done . We use an electric pump to empty the tanks. That is much easier than having to

Hello Amel SM 2000 Owners, Since I am only an Amel hopeful in the next few short years, I almost never post. I do however read everything you post. While I am still bound to the land, I'm interested

Everyone will have different reasons for carrying so much fuel, and of course, this could be very different now due to some exceptional COVID related issues (for example, a close friend of ours

Great job, I will try to get some wood here in France. thanks, Eloi

Hello, Does anyone experienced the change of a black water valve (front toilet) in an Amel 54? Thank you so much for your help. Cordialement, Alain Durante A54 / Meige

I did find a diamond pendant that the wife of the previous owner had lost (and shipped it to her), but it was not in a secret place. I also found a bunch of toys left by their 4 year old. I think I
