I thought they all did too. Is first owner didn't want the weight. But to me doesn't seem particularly weighty. What could hey weigh 75-100 lbs? Max? I like the idea of redundancy but before I add

No boat yet. Awaiting a survey on Amel 54 #152 It just seemed most 54s I looked at had 2. This one had one, owner professed never a need for 2. This windlass can handle 2 rodes. If they were prone

Robert We haven't started cruising yet but would often spend a week or more on the boat in local waters over the past 5 years of ownership. We have 540W x 24v and this typically tends to charge us

Hello Porter, We have only one windlass on our Super Maramu. We have never had two anchors off the bow, even though we carry a second anchor in the stbd fwd locker. As Eric, one or two occasions

Hi Porter, What boat do you have? Most of us post the boat type and hull number. With respect to a second windlass, I have never had 2 anchors off the bow. Very infrequently I had to set an anchor

Thanks Alexandre. Does seem fast doesn't it! Anyone know the weight of a windlass more or less? Anyone use both often? Thanks agin Porter On Feb 13, 2017, at 12:42 PM, Alexandre Uster von Baar

Really appreciated Bill For everything! Great advice on everything. We cannot really determine the time for the trip. We've got 2 girls. One ready for college in 4. The other in 7. I'm voting for

Bill, That’s great—however you should run the genset- you are getting low on water in Texas. Fair Winds Eric

Eric, It is definitely different. I told Judy a few minutes ago that I was not going to run the generator today. I was joking. I am working on a plan to keep me involved with Amel Yachts which will

Eric, I too was confused by the word "deck." I am sure that he is talking about the space under the floor outside the aft head on a SM. Bill X-BeBe Currently Galveston

Hi, Are you talking about the locker on the port side of the deck? Mine is outboard of the port cockpit locker. Or are you speaking about the locker in the cockpit to port of the mizzen mast? Fair

Duane, I agree with Mark. I had the same experience. Bill x-BeBe

Duane, I had a similarissue in the aft head. I ran a small bead of clear silicone around the top ofthe baseboard. It has been a couple of years and has not leaked since. With bestregards,

Porter, My opinions: Windlass Doesn't your 54 have two windlasses? We just sold BeBe, a SM #387. The single Lofranz windlass was in perfect condition. It had ben regularly maintained. During our
