Alex, I will be removing my dodger in the future to allow removal of the companionway slider. It would be great to see your photos. My email address is: Lokiyawl2 at aol.com Thanks, James

Be sure the fuel is clean and contains no water before it goes into your tank. Keep the tank as full as you can. Use an anti-organic additive that not only kills but also breaks down the organic

Hi all, Many thanks from the AMEL community, some seen and heard, the rest felt, for your support in this 'learning experience'. To those directly involved in support and solutioneering, even those on

Joel, Thank you for the additional information on the Amel tanks, that is indeed helpful. My Amel is now 29 years old and the tank seems fine, I am sure that the workmanship and selection of

Hi Bill, If the claim had been under my Pantaenius Yacht Policy, I'm quite sure I could have reopened it. However, that policy specifically excludes coverage while transporting the yacht, which is

Many thanks, Joel. I'll keep you posted and take pics. It leaked down to the 60 liter level, so doesn't seem to be on the bottom. Strange, indeed. Cheers, Craig, SN#68 Sangaris

Thank you Kent. I was able to dislodge it with a giant set of pliers (I know, not ideal). The replacement part is to arrive Thu or Fri and when I go pick it up I'll request a 55mm hex nut. I'll post

Hi Bill, Hadn't thought of that, but I suppose it certainly could be. Will examine it when I remove it in the next few weeks and report back. Unfortunately, that insurance claim is closed. Maybe I'll

Hi Bill, Yes, I checked the dimensions - the ID of the new one was sightly smaller than the old one. About 1/10,000's of an inch on one axis. But the old one was/is a loose fit on the shaft, relying
