Good morning, The next marina I am going to is likely to only have 30 Amp 125 Volt. Since I have never used my big transformer on the boat, I am not sure it works, so trying to cover options. I need

So I can agree that the cleanest final solution is likely to drill out the bolt and then drill through the fiberglass so that a bolt can be completely through with washer/nut on the end in the bow

Trevor, I have a 1990 Santorin SN24. I don’t know what I have is that great of a manual, but it is something. Contact me off the Amel owners site and I will try to help. Also please post the boats

This is my guess: When the "B.T. climbs higher and the pin enters without effort," the foam donuts are probably being distorted and water is passing through where the foam is distorted. When the "BT

Hello All, I have finally taken possession of a 1990 Santorin, formerly named AKWAABA. The previous family bought her new in 1990. Conducting a true turnover of the boat was not possible, due to

The bow of my boat is very high on the water level and the water enters in the boat only with waves. I've done the maintenance and replaced 3 foam rings the springtime this year : two foam rings below

Bill, The original pump does look superior to the Jabsco that the previous owner installed on my boat , especially how the two halves are bolted together as opposed to a clamp on the Jabsco , which

Mike, Danny's thru-bolt solution sounds good and the drilling, as he points out, will be the key to success. With the good amount of bolt you've got left above deck you may want to try removing it

The new owner of BeBe had some questions about storage. I prepared this some time ago, but thought it was appropriate to share with you. The cubic feet measurements are approximate. This is also at

Thanks for the technical info. This Morse cable is 17 years old, with maybe 3500 hrs. Are their failure modes for the cable itself? Or maintenance (oiling)? Mike Ondra Aletes SM#240 Rock Hall, MD

This thread is an appropriate place to praise Amel and specifically Henri Amel for quality of the components selected for Amel Yachts. It seems to me that he picked each and every component based on

Bill, I never knew what was the original pump. I suspected it was not the Jabsco. Thanks, Pat

Danny, As far as can determine the foot valve is not leaking, however over a long time it may . I have tried to seal and clamp the hoses as tight as possible. It has always been unreliable

When we bought our Santorin the surveyor found the pump not to be working properly. In our early ignorance we had the pump removed and replaced with a Jabsco. Since joining the forum we have taken the

Thanks guys. This came up at the end of the day and i only quickly took a look at the transmission end. The cable was well secured. I suspected, as Bill Kinney points out, that there would be

In addition to Bill R.’s excellent suggestions, other great pumps which might be easier to source in the USA are the Paragon pumps by Groco, which is the same style bronze lob pump as the Amel

Mike, It is good news that the transmission shifts well by hand, delay in shifting can be caused by internal problems with the transmission. The following assumes you have a HBW-250

Hi mike. I drilled mine out and put a bolt through. I now have a nut top and bottom I lost a lot of sweat and blunted several drills in the process. If you can get a cobalt drill they cut stainless

I don't know if it was a factory install but I've seen an Amel 55 with two watt and sea units installed, one on each side. Cheers, James SM #344, SeaBean Las Palmas, Canary Islands

Hi pat. I battled the bilge pump forever. The key is the foot valve. If you can stop that leaking so the pipe stays full you should have no more trouble. Also ensure there are no leeks in the suction
