Does anyone have a recommendation for a good source for parts online? I'm not finding anything for the Onan MDKAL Generator. Duane SM#477 Wanderer

We just finished a very wet nine day upwind passage, and upon arrival we found most of our deck lockers are leaking. We would like to fit new gaskets to all of our lockers, and was wondering if anyone

My paint is ok but most of the painted corking had come off. I went to Amel at La Rochelle and they suggested re-corking with gel coat as they now do on the 55/64's. A few rolls of masking tape later

Gentlemen, My boat has been in Caribbean since launched in late 01. The decks are faded and stained. In some places it appears that white traces are showing thru ( I actually thought white paint had

I do not think Joel has changed...he is still very true to his course. He is still the most knowledgeable Amel expert that I know and certainly in the top two or three worldwide. The last time I

Any thoughts on the virtues or weaknesses of late 70's to mid-80's Mango models? I am.looking for 50' +/- liveaboard cruiser. Although these are certainly vintage designs my impression is most

Hi, Cousins, I am finding a lot of condensation in my fridge/freezers under the dinette seats. In addition, the latches don't cinch down very well any more. I think that the gaskets between the box

It's a very nice way to charge under sail. Think automobile alternator they go for years and years at higher speeds in a very hot Damp environment. Not to worry about wearing yours out. Enjoy your

Dennis, I agree that it can be harsh on the gearbox. I checked with Amel in Martinique this summer and they confirmed that the procedure we are using is correct. So I guess there is no secret

Glad to hear that others are experiencing this same effect. I also put the transmission in reverse to stop the prop from turning and make the little green light go out BUT 1) this is a bit hard on

Thank you Bill, Mark, and Ann-Sofie. We'll be checking out Theyr, the Turkish site (which looks quite, quite interesting!) and OpenSkiron. We discussed among ourselves yesterday and we think we'll
