Hi Nick, We replace the seals along with the oil every 2 years when hauled out. It requires dropping the lower unit which allows for inspection and catching any corrosion early. We have not had any

Hello Eric and Robyn, Can I please ask what model Vitrifrigo you installed? Is it the Vitrifrigo DW180? I've been looking at this model and the specs indicate that it might fit, but it's really

Hi Jarrod and Vicki, If the attached image is the part you need, we recently ordered Genoa (Jib) cars from Euro Marine Trading. The cars are manufactured by Antal in Italy and Euro Marine Trading are

Jarrod & Vikki, I assume you mean the sheave that the genoa sheet runs under. The Super Maramu jib cars were made by Antal. The longer length car with tow points both front and back is not a

OK Robin, so we have the same MS160. I was scratching my head how you would fit a 100cm tall fridge under a less than 100cm tall countertop! -- Scott 2007 A54 #69 SV Tengah http://www.svtengah.com

Hi David, Ok, it's on the list for tomorrow, along with attempting to verify by measurement that I've actually got a 203/ISO gypsy, and its not mis-labelled! I've posted some slow-motion videos today

Hi Dean, Looking at your picture in the pdf, it looks like the chain links are too small (as if they were DIN instead of ISO). Maybe you can measure the distance over a few links and check notes with

Chain, yes, it is easy to measure, but who can say what the tolerance is...and it will certainly need replacing because of age or corrosion before stretch or wear. Gypsy, I don't think so, and every

Bill Kinney, you nailed it! One thing, the keel cooler that Amel installs is on the hull probably not much more than 12" below the waterline. Best, CW Bill Rouse Amel Owners Yacht School +1

A thought on Super Maramu galley fridges. Our boat came to us with a aftermarket galley fridge that had been installed with BOTH air cooling and a keel cooler. A nice idea, efficiency in the water,

Hi Dean, If you have not got to the bottom of this by the time I come out September 8 and if our paths cross, we could do some tests, like try my gypsy on your windlass, we could compare chains what

Hmmm, I created this folder and tried to add some videos to it. But I don't seem to be able to add videos. I'll try and attach to this message. -- Dean Gillies SV Stella *****, Amel 54-154

Is there a way to check specs on gypsy and chain to see if one or other is worn or out of spec? -- Paul Harries Prospective Amel Buyer

Hi Dean I confirm that on WASABI the chain deployment is without any kind of skipping at all. And when I bought WASABI there was the original gipsy 203 (ISO) with a DIN SS-Chain the former owner

Hi Dean I made some Videos of the Lewmar V5/6 Vertical Windlass. Also made a slow Motion Video so you can perfectly see the deploying chain without any incorrect loading. Unfortunately the files

Hi Thomas, I hear you, and yes I am 100% sure. Both of the Gypsies are stamped as 203, and both of the chains measure up as ISO standard. If that wasn't enough evidence ... on chain retrieval both

Dean, Are you 100% sure you don't have an incompatibility between you chain and gipsy? A lewmar gypsy stamped 202 is for the DIN standard, with as a shorter step than the ISO standard (28mm Vs 30mm).

Assuming he was correct about the needed replacement, I believe he is wrong about how to do it and he may not have noticed how your fridge was installed by Amel...AND, if he did not notice how it is
