hi y'all, We have some fading batteries on Pen Azen of indeterminate origin which we picked up in the Dominican Republic. I want to replace them with the sort that Amel originally used. I believe

The foredeck light retaining ring is available from Aqua Signal. Here is a note I received from Aqua Signal. Could someone add this to the parts data list on the Amel webdsite. Fair
