Mark, I have purchased from Coastal Climate Control 4 or 5 times. I only needed support on one issue because I ordered the wrong part. They accepted a return and credited me the full purchase (I had

Hi Ian, We am thinking of solar panels for our 54. Had not thought of pivoting them on the back rails. Could you send a photo of yours on the back rail. Thank's and Best Barry & Penelope 'Lady

Eric, I have used Coastal Climate Control in the past. They are not a very good company and do not support the customer on the product lines they represent. Given a choice, I would most certainly

I am sure many of you have used this company. http://coastalclimatecontrol.com/index.php/blog/154-wind-generators-are-they-the-better-choice-for-power-charging.html Fair

Hi, Very nice video. I think that the end rail rubber protection is missing. This accessory limits the shocks at the end of running of the trolley. I replace it from times to times.

Hi Kent Because I wasn't prepared go cross oceans relying on diesel power for l my charging. So we put a wind Generator and solar tpanels on. Be a use of shortage of time and cash we put two 130

I didn’t think of that . I guess I will just stick with a spare shackle Thanks for the advice. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Steve and Liz, Well said. Some discussions are too black and white. Ok a shackle should not be stronger than the car but we all know stainless steel shackles vary a lot. 630 stainless has a uts

Mark, I have replaced several of these that were installed with 3M 5200. A couple whacks with a hammer after removing the retaining nut and they popped right out. If installed correctly, there will

I have a crack in the housing for the (Raymarine/Airmar) speed transducer on my Super Maramu #419. I would like to replace the housing. Does anyone know whether the sealant used my Amel for the

I think of this forum as a team. We're all trying to do the best job we can taking care of the boats we love, the boats that take such good care of us. In that regard, we're all in this together. As

Vladimir, I am going to be straight and very forthcoming with your comments. I mean no insult or offence, but, here it is: Have you ever heard of the term "shear pin?" It is a pin in some outboard

You do what ever you want. I am a mechanical engineer. I performed stress analysis and I gave you sound advise. Vladimir SM 345 Life is Good On Feb 27, 2016 4:14 PM, "yahoogroups@...

Kent I would second John's advice. We fitted one either side on the rails. They pivot out of the way easily to walk by, and they also pivot easily to direct at right angles to the sun. I only fitted

Kent What about pivotting solar panels on the guard rails outside the aft cabin top rather than need an arch. Say with two decent sized solar panels when using the autopilot a lot under sail it

Vladamir, I would be very interested in your opinion after you have owned an Amel a little longer. What Olivier stated is true in dozens of cases that I have experienced on our Amel. Give us your

I am not sure that Amel did or was capable to do that type thorough analysis. I would not hesitate to make the weak link stronger. Vladimir SM 345 Life is Good On Feb 27, 2016 2:00 PM, "Kent

Hi Kent, you are right. The system will break somewhere else, and will be more expensive to repair/replace. This is a universal rule in mechanics, and true for many mechanical systems on the AMEL

Earlier someone suggested that the shackle NOT be made stronger than the car so if something breaks it will be the shackle. Kent
