Hi Chris: My original reply didn't post for some reason. I recently did the modification to the rail (as show in the photo in my other post). Amel clearly made an error in extending this track

Hi Chris: I just undertook removal of my jib sheet cars on my SM 2000 #335 for two reasons. 1. one of the plastic sliders was broken on the port side and 2. there was hurricane damage to the toe-rail

Bill I have one of these on board, the 3600w Victron Islolation transformer version on your data sheet, but the version with physical jumpers to move internally to select between 110v/220v input. To

Greetings Amelians, I have searched old messages and cannot find how to remove the jib cars. I need to replace the plastic sliders. Car forward, runs into the lifeline upright and aft it runs

Hyères, The quickly oil resoaked air filter is also making me think that engine oil could be causing the oil spots on the water. A simple test to check to see if the engine oil is coming up from

Hi everyone, So we traced the leak back to the bow thruster. Not sure yet what is wong with it. Chances are some carbon dust from the brushes creates the negative-grounding connection. We built

Ian, Will the engine run at 2800 rpm unloaded (in netural)? If NOT, the answer is not fuel starvation (because that would take very little fuel) but a possible problem with the injection pump or speed

Get 12 buds. And your uncle. Then make sure you have the “paid professional” on back up. I don’t have a SM but 2800 seems in the ball park. Yes? See you in Bonaire!! Porter McRoberts Ibis

Changing injectors isn't tough, just be as fanatically clean about it as you can. It's only a little bit harder than changing spark plugs, and mostly because you will need to bleed the fuel lines

Yes! Do check the transmission cooler. It's cheap and easy. But the quickly oiling of the airfilter makes me wonder if you might have more than normal combustion gas blowing past the rings into

I have no trouble with that on my boat. It's the same with the main sail halyard. It needs a spliced loop on the down side to hook on the locking car. The only place it tends to hang up a little

Porter. (and Bill) forgive me if I am jumping in at the wrong point. Porter the transformer is for regulating shore power onto the boat. It gives one the option to use different voltage inputs on

Porter, We haven't pulled the trigger on the transformer yet, as long as we are not connected to shore power, it isn't really a priority. I am a little confused by your question however, this is not

I see Permatex makes a clear RTV silicone, I think I'll go with that one. I like the idea of it being easily removable. If it fails, it will be an easy job to replace. I'm not concerned about the

Hi Ian, sorry I am a little late in responding. We have been underway and with patchy internet. We have the fixed prop(autoprop as a spare, set up preferred by previous owner which I have not

Hi Ian, Do you have an AutoProp? My understanding is that they are ver persnickety about growth. I'd take PenAzen out for another trial and if all is OK, I'd probably opt for "if it ain't broke,

Thank you Jeff. Will have the transmission cooler tested. Regards, Peregrinus SM2K N. 350 (2002) Hyères

Hi, I had a similar problem on my Amel 54 with Volvo 110hp turbo. Thought it was the turbo but it turned out to be the sensor which measures turbo boost pressure. It is located on starboard side on

Hi, I suggest you get an injector puller. Not sure on your set up but if the injectors do not thread in but are clamped in then the puller is a rod of steel with a nut welded to one end that threads
