Sometime ago there were several posts regarding the need to service/replace the gearbox oil cooler as a preventative measure. From memory there is a supplier in the Uk, any advice, contact details,

I wanted to add one item to this discussion that might be of interest. There exist pre oiler systems which can presssurize the engine oil system prior to rolling the engine over. This would seem to

Hi again My mistake, today we have a Mahle 28v/110 amp. ISKRA was the original alternator that we changed in Tahiti after it started burning during motoring … -- Carina SV Ultimo Amel 54 No 165

Hi Our alternator originally on the VW is a ISKRA truck alternator 28V/110 amp. Just good to know if someone else with a VW engine get some problem…. -- Carina SV Ultimo Amel 54 No 165

I contacted them 2 weeks ago for a quote gor a ballooner for my SN. No reply…. until now -- Bernd SN 119 / Greece

My Santorin doesn’t have ‘looped tangs’ at the spreaders. The rigging is attached by an eye swage to the bolt that attaches the spreader to the welded mast sections. I’d assumed that all SMS

I have a Rigor up the mast today checking on connections. One thing he asked was if it's recommended to replace the "tangs" (looped metal at mast side of spreaders). Are these normally replaced,

We second Bill’s recommendation, Oliver worked for Amel, lives in France and is now a surveyor specialising in Amels. You will learn a lot about the Amel philosophy from him as well as the workings

Hi Mattijn, We purchased our Santorin in S France while in the US with the assistance of Jerome Fragnon in Antibes, very excellent and trustworthy broker. He speaks English quite well and

Mark and fellow Amel owners, I can tell you I just had an outstanding experience with QSails as far as the ordering process and receiving my sails. Emrah and his crew did exactly what they said

Hi Joerg, When we bought Ocean Pearl in 2008 she had that screeching. It was caused by dried up grease in the gearbox. I stripped them, cleaned out the old grease repacked them with new. I dont

When a macerator begins to leak, the bonding is usually compromised. I think that if your 24-volt alternator is the Mastervolt 110, it must be mechanically isolated from the block. CW Bill Rouse Amel

Thank you we will try the Maccarator lead tomorrow morning since we do plan to change one maccarator due to a small leak! We have a VW engine in our A54, do you think it’s different in regards to

Hi all, Our search for an Amel is picking up speed. As we live in the Netherlands, and we found some Amels along the most southern Mediterranean coast of France, we're looking for a good agent +

The red signal (-) tells you that the bonding system is connected to the house bank 24 volts. In the case where nothing has ever been modified on an A54 this can be: Leaking seal in a macerator pump

Hi Bill we put the plus cable from the multimeter, on top of the sensors we have two cables and it doesn’t matter which one we choose or which sensor we measure on (heat sensor, exhaust sensor on

Mark, Be careful comparing the costs of sails for a Santorin with a SM. If you want costs for a SM, I suggest that you look at this:

Can you share what the cost was? Thanks! Mark Garver S/V It’s Good SM 105

What do you mean: "our heat sensors?" Is this the coolant temperature sensor? Where are you measuring this voltage? From what to what? Has any mechanic worked on this boat and modified the bonding
