Craig, I cannot guarantee that anyone, anywhere is correct, rather all I can do is ask the questions of Dessalator, the OEM watermaker supplier to Amel, verify what Dessalator said, and verify what

Hey Bill, On the second part of your post about the gal with the possibly damaged high pressure flare faces, I've had perfect results with leaking/damaged flare joint in the past with the Flaretite

Oh Bill, puleeze - nobody's arguing. Not worth getting your pants in a bunch. The Dessalator guy just had the wrong Loctite number. I'm sure you accurately reported the (incorrect) info he gave you.

Our Dessaltor DUO 60 manual, English version, states : "The HP connectors should be installed strictly in accordance with the instructions (Appendix A2). Apply a little loctite or nut seal to the two

Hi Bill, I am the second owner. The engine is original. I purchased the boat in June 2017, it had been ashore in Grenada for three years as the then owner was very ill and unable to use the

Craig, First off, I am no Gentleman , ask my wife. Secondly , I spoke to my sail maker and will be sending it off for a patch, but I still want to put a boot on to lessen the chafe in the future. I

Craig & All, You are correct about Loctite, and I said, that until yesterday, that is what I believed. HOWEVER, I am correct about Dessalator stating this is required. In this case I believe that any

Nick, Your problem may be an indication of something much more serious. How long have you owned this Amel 54? Has there been an engine change, or any sensors changed? When Amel installed the Volvo

Bill and All, Yes, do use a sealant on JIC fittings. Perhaps a typo in BebeBill's post, but Henkel, the manufactured of Loctite, does not recommend Loctite 542 for this, They recommend Loctite 5452

Hi Alan, Thanks Yes I have checked the belts, no problem there. The rectifier may be at fault, I think. Will have it bench tested. Re -ve light leak coming on at the Masse it will be a long process

All, Please read all of this. Just when I was fairly confident that I knew all I needed to know about changing/servicing Dessalator Membranes, I learned something new from Dessalator, France. As you

Hey Pat, Gentlemen don't sail upwind. :-) An option I've used is chafe patches on the genoa. Cheers, Craig ---In amelyachtowners@..., <sailw32@...> wrote : I have considerable chafe on my genoa that

I have considerable chafe on my genoa that is only a few years old and maybe about 5000 miles on it. Its obviously rubbing on the spreader. Has anyone bought boots for the spreaders on a SM that fit
