Hi Alex I think I have the same problem with water in the union of the hull with the hardtop. Can you send these photos? They will surely be a great help Thanks Juan Juan Garcia SV Tórtola - Mango #

Hi Eric I want to change the sliding door I think it would be very useful the information you have on the hardtop. Do I could send the photos? Thanks Juan Garcia SV Tórtola - Mango

I had two Mastervolt Magic DC to DC converters for the SSB supply. Somehow they both failed. I sent them in to Mastervolt to see if they were repairable and they are not. However, Mastervolt has

Another question for the Amel "old timers". This one about the steering system. Does anyone have a link to technical information about the system used? In Harmonie's reasonably complete paperwork

800 hours engine use or 800 hours prop shaft use? With the prop shaft alternator on the Santorin turning all the time perhaps the wear time is shorter? Any views? Ian Ocean Hobo SN96

There must be a lip seal where the driven horizontal shaft enters the oil-filled c-drive. There is oil on the inside, and a rotating shaft. A seal is needed. In this service a lip seal should

That would be the Santorin. Santorum is the politician Kent Kristy SM 243

I don't remember a lip seal on the Upper end of the C Drive either. There is the rubber? hose collar that goes between the vertical drive shaft and the hull with hose clamps. And there are 3 O-rings

Hi Craig, Where is the upper lip seal located on the “C” drive? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Bill, It is not difficult to cut the sleeve down. I Just cut it down with the side of a cut off wheel and polished the end with sandpaper then Tripoli. I found for another hundred dollars it was

Thank you, Alexandre. My drive motor and jack screw motor spent the last week at the shop getting the full "spa" treatment, and I'm putting everything back together tomorrow. Hoping to splash on Wed.

I can't seem to find the number in my Amel papers... How much oil goes into the bow thruster on a SM? Thanks much to anybody who has this on the tip of their tongue... Bill Kinney SM#160

Hi all. While the wearing out bearing seems expensive, in the context of a biannual change at the time of a regular haul out its not too bad. BUT in the context that it is protecting a very expensive

I have 1985 Maramu 192. I would guess this is the original prop shaft alternator. Belt is 10 or so grooves about 1.25" wide I can measure the pulleys if you need, as is in my shop at the moment. Ken

Paul, I am fairly sure that you are getting air into the system. There are a lot of ways, but the most common way I see owners getting air into the system is when they change filters. When changing

We hardly get any water out of the tap at the control panel for testing, when we start the WM there is always a lot if air in the flow glas but it dissapeare after afew minutes, capacity around 45 to

That is worth a lot, and is what I thought. I believe that the SM Maintenance Schedule in the Files section states the same. I don't have the internet to verify. Bill Rouse BeBe Amel 53

For what it is worth, the original service documents from our boats commissioning specify the 800 hours interval. Bill Kinney SM #160, Harmonie On the Hard, Fort Lauderdale, FL “Ships and men rot in

Craig, The only time I had water is when we were in the Med and the Yanmar had low hours at the two year mark...and I decided to put the service off until the next haulout. As it turned out, our next
