JP Germain can you post a photo detail of how you lock the induction cooktop into your OC3? I am about to install and OC and am very excited for it. I did not want to take full dive into their

Bill, You are correct. This style of locking prop washer is very common on French built boats using metric standard prop shaft tapers. For boats using these, it is best to carry a spare washer. They

Eric, As far as I know no stock Super Maramus ever had wire and plumbing penetrations through the watertight bulkheads in the places you describe when they left La Rochelle. Holes drilled through

Hi All, we follow the discussion with great interest. But up to now we did not see any comment of an experienced sailmaker. So we decided to ask Jens Nickel and his oppinion. Jens is a well known

I would appreciate it if someone who has installed the fixed prop will verify the image below and the correct way to lock the prop in place:

Super Maramu.

Hello! I just installed a new tachometer on my A54. I plugged it in expecting it to work but menu is not appearing on the LCD screen. The LCD momentarily flashes “volvo penta” and then goes

Hi Eammon, Cover the two parts with a good coat of lanolin. That will be the end of your problem. Delighted to see that you are still out there. Best regards, Trevor Lusty West Cork

Hi Eamonm, do have the motor at half height too and make the wriggles of the propeller at least half turns to allow for the gearing. Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Hi Eric, no I haven't. I have wiring holes at the top outer corners. None at the lower. The only plumbing hole is the grey water bilge pipe passing through and well sealed. However next time I'm

Hi, as I said in my previous SM 299 Ocean Pearl has the void built in on top of the freezer. We spent time in the Caribbean and repeated trips to the Pacific Islands from NZ. We have not experienced

Hi Nick, likewise on Ocean Pearl SM 299. Regards Danny

Dear Juan, dear Kent & Iris, our plans are also the Canal, Galapagos, perhaps Ecuador and South America (after a analysis of the weather conditions: not by boat ;-) and then FP … in 2022. But

You also need to clean the rust from the bottom of the motor in the opening for the bow thruster tube, then use a lot of waterproof grease. This clip from my Amel Book may help you:

Hi Danny that is a good tip to wriggle the propellor when trying to reconnect the 2 parts, I'll try it tomorrow. I always had it well oiled, and greased the area where the 2 parts join, but I never
