Hello Olivier and all. Thank you for your answer. My boat is the Santorin no.122.The new charger is Sterling pro-charge N. This replaces the original TECSUP of AMEL. I do not know if this new charger

Good morning Ian, I have suspected something similar, that some reader did not see my reply, because they were going to the spam box. So make sure you check your spam

Bill, Thank you, as ever. For some weird reason which I cannot yet fathom I can still send but have stopped receiving emails from this website and have only read your response after going

Yes sorry my mistake... Oil for the Bow Thruster should be 90... my bad. Alexandre --------------------------------------------

Alexandre, I believe Bill was talking about the oil in the c-drive changing from 20-40 to 80-90. Are you talking about the bow thruster or the C-drive? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super

Hi Alex, I guess I'm unclear about this change. The outside diameter remains at 42mm, while the inside diameter is smaller. Why is it harder to install the seal? It seems to me it would be harder
