Hi, Someone posted the sizes of the lip seals and bearing numbers needed to rebuild this gearbox. I can’t seem to locate it. Would someone please forward the list to me. Fair

Hi Mike, We just replaced our aluminum c-drive, this summer. Maud at Amel supplied the complete new drive unit. We still have our old one and are wondering what to do with it. We had serviced the

Hello all. I am looking to replace my 3 Grp 31 batteries in the Bow this season. They are sealed lead acid and were in the boat when I bought the vessel 4 years ago now. So they have lived a good

Hello everyone, I'm curious if anyone out there still has the old aluminium C-Drive installed in their SuperMaramu? Is the 80-90 gear oil recommended for both C-Drives (aluminium and cast iron)? What

The support pipe for my helm seat has become quite loose and wobbly inside the bottom floor structure hole. It rotates and moves back and forth about 2-3mm, but not up and down as it seems there may

#Antifouling #Bottompaint Hello, a few questions: 1. How often do you renew your AF/BP? 2. Which one do you use? 3. Where do you sail Cold/Med/Warmwater? Thanks-- Bernd SN 119 / Cascais,

I decided to cut an inspection hatch. See photos Looks fine as is for now, but if the problem persists I will pull the chain plate and re-bed it properly. Thanks to everyone for the general

The latches on our boat were fit quite differently, no metal plate at all. Problem and solution described here: https://fetchinketch.net/boat-projects/hatch-latches/ Bill Kinney SM160,

Nick, I am not sure, but I think it may be able to be caulked on the deck. Here is a photo of an A55 staysail chainplate from inside the forward locker. The two smaller bolts are from the top fixture

Eric, Yes, that is my understanding, at least for some of the SMs built, maybe all of them, but certainly all that I have seen. And I believe the issue is that over time the screw sealant

Hi Amelians, We have become the proud owner of sv Abayomi (ex Nathape) since June this year and have sailed her back to Holland from Gaeta in Italy to be able to prepare her in the coming 1.5 year for

We have been enjoying a couple of rainy days here in Turkey. Sometimes really heavy rain, so an opportune moment to look for leaks. Apart from some stitch holes in the spray hood we only have one. I

Does anyone know how the hinged fittings with the black knobs on the aft locker are fitted? One of the screws seems stripped. My assumption is that there is a plate under the deck that the screws
