I carried 2 extra for 5 years. Both originals “failed” only to be returned to service with some light cleaning and relubrication. Same with the solenoids for the water maker. Panic in Tonga

Thanks I will start by applying some Corrosion X on one of the two cones to see if the slipping is not happening under medium load. Denis Envoyé de mon iPhone

Hi John, For now, I close the manual valve in front of the solenoid. I got a model number for the solenoid from Bill. There is no drain hole on my A55. Is your hole connecting the shower area or

Hi Christian I have a santorin number 41. 1991 It had the Perkins 50 which I replaced with a Volvo D2 50. The motor is identical to the Perkins so easy to install. We had to increase the diameter

Have you considered a Beta Marine Diesel engine? If I were in your shoes, I would avoid anything where a laptop or special diagnostic equipment is needed, or the engine just

I do not have specific experience with that engine, but have a couple comments you might find useful. You CAN use a shaft generator with a feathering propeller like a MaxProp. All you have to do is

Hello to the group, first of all a greetings for the nice forum and of course to the Amel community. We are "old" Amel customers; 1975 acquired a Kirk and then 1992 a Santorin. Greetings also to
