Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] alexandre AC problem-- old post did not go through
Hi Dan,
There has beensome talk of AC capacitors on this forum that control the fan speed. It may bethat you have a bad high speed fan capacitor. Fairly easy to check and cheap toreplace.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] alexandre AC problem-- old post did not go through
Hi all, catching up on recent posts. I did not see if there was resolution to this one.
Our rear AC unit had also started to trip the breaker. Some times it was on the 220v breaker, it also tripped

Hi Paul,
You are not the only one, and you have diagnosed it correctly. We have started closing the chain locker valve if we are sailing hard on a starboard tack, but intend to install a one way valve

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Salt water intrusion on forward head
Yep, this can happen if you have a lot of water on deck. The SM 53 came from Amel with a rubber flapper assembly that would line up with the chain and keep a good percentage of the water from coming

Re: Salt water intrusion on forward head
I'm sure it of of bow thruster, the PIN is inserted above to lock?
If that doesn't help the seals must be replaced.

Re: Door Alignment
Thanks to one and all for the feedback. It's very much appreciated.
Im balance it seems like only a cosmetic issue which may be able to be rectified with some hinge-fiddling.
Of course I realised

Salt water intrusion on forward head
When sailing in rough weather with the wind in from starboard, the water that find its way in through the chain locker and then going down to the bilge. Some of that goes back into the forward head

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Door Alignment
Mine all look square and aligned. But the top cover lid to the plate stowage (large door on starboard side) always squeaks when we are sailing along - annoying at night if I am snoozing on aft settee

Hi Dean,
It looks the same on ours.
We did notice it but didn't consider it a cause for concern.
Good luck with your search,

The portside locker double-doors in the saloon of an Amel 54 I'm looking at seem to have an alignment problem. The forwardmost door is lower at the handle side than the aftmost door
