Dear Chuck, Sorry, been busy with business related issue (almost done), so just going to echo what Mark wrote so that you have more feedback, sorry not to elaborate. 90% of the time I single hand

Thanks for the reply Kent. I'll check the start solenoid, is it attached to the motor in view or was it in a box attached to the motor? Yep, the 24V breaker on the engine room fwd blkhd was on. Duane

Hi Chuck, I have sailed our Amel singlehandedly many times. People such as Kent and Alexandre can speak to this betterthan I, but I think the Amel is a breeze for a solo sailor. One of the

Now you guys and gals can see why I learned so much from Craig on that maiden voyage. Read back through his posts and see just how resourceful and capable he is. But...like me, he doesn't get it

I haven't had the experience with a shower draft or smaller boat, Chuck. That may make it easier for me to live with the deeper draft of my SM. The Bahamas are known as a shallow draft venue, but

Hi All, Thanks for taking the time to respond in detail it helps tremendously! Two quick questions. I have read of Monsieur Amel's vision regarding his design and light handed sailing. Have you ever

That's a start solenoid on my 24v60 (not duo). Try tapping on it with a wrench. It may start. I replaced mine with a new one I got online. I don't remember where but as I remember it was easy to

After replacing the sprague bearings on the Cat Pump for our Duo 60 Dessalator, now the 24 volt motor won't run (it's always something isn't it?). I'm going to take off all the connections and shine

Bill, your advice on replacing a Vetus coupling on a 55 would be appreciated, Amel recommends sliding the engine forward 15 cm to fit it, it appears to me I can drill and tap the steel spacer to use

Hi Craig! Hope you and Katherine are well. Where y'at? Kent

Hey Kent, Thanks for the kind words. I do hope that by now you've got all those items on "Craig's List" fixed up!!! Kidding aside and having been aboard Kristy several years after that initial sail,

Hi Vladimir The serial # of the autoprop on Island Pearl II is AP 3713 Cheers Colin

Kent, I agree wholeheartedly, exceptfor one thing: we love the dishwasher. We run our dinner dishes in the eveningwith the end of the day battery charge and make hot water for showers. It is
