Hi Nick, I replaced mine with a March magnetic drive two years ago and it has been going faultlessly since. As with yours it is much smaller and extremely quiet. I have been moored in Malaysia and it

Nick, Great find! The Leece - Neville was not an issue on the SM, but was an issue on the D3 in early 54s. I know this will help others. Bill

Nick, If you cruise in the tropics, that will not be enough water flow. From my Amel Book: "The basic rule of thumb is 1 gallon per minute (GPM) is required for every 4,000 Btu’s of capacity. So,

Take a flat blade screwdriver and gently tap the screwdriver against the tightening ring. Use some MolyKote Dow 111 on the O ring. When you change the filter, use the rinse valve to force water in and

Bernd, contact the original builder of the SM gearbox. I assume he made the 12-volt version in the SN. The last time I discussed this with him he had about 20 new motors for the 24v SM

I believe that whether or not solar can be integrated into a hardtop depends on the model and manufacturer of the panels. The Amel 50 uses SolbianFlex Panels which are made in Italy.

Anyone have a picture of the “tool”? thanks -- Kevin & Kristen Schmit KIANA SM #362

Amel has now chosen Facnor as their furler manufacturers for the new Amel 50...maybe the 60 as well They have a good selection of sizes. Cheers Jean-Pierre Germain, Eleuthera, SM007, NZ

We have had a roof over the cockpit since 2010, one of the best things we have done on the boat. This is from the inside regards Ann-Sofie & Jonas Svanberg S/y Lady Annila, SM232, 1998 Skickat från

PS Would you have any pics of the support structure? I’d like to get a sense of how it might work with the traveler as well as ingress and egress to the cockpit. Thanks! Dave

I shall be very interested to read Bill's review of the Amel 50, but you can have solar on a hard top on an SM. We had this carbon fibre top made for us in Greece this winter and are delighted with

Hi Kevin; There is a tool, similar to an oil filter wrench, that locks into the large plastic ring at the top of the filter housing to unscrew. Then filter housing lowers and can be removed, once this

Most all my clients and all of my own experiences with Reckman furling on Amel boats has been entirely satisfactory. It isn't cheap but you can trust in getting what you pay for. JOEL F.

Hello, On my SN form 1995 the genoa furler motor stopped working. First it operated only at about half speed to fail completely in the end. Relays apear ok from hearing, cabels are also fine and

Good morning, Simple, silly question on opening the pre filter housing (2) on my Dessalator water maker. How do I open these housing to maintain the filters? I assume the green body unscrews into

Thanks Loïc, That's the only configuration that I've seen (not that I've seen very many). But I was curious whether the double+desk was ever offered on the SN. Greg

Ummmmm shedding fiberglass? Isn't the turbo heat pad made of asbestos? I'm pretty sure mine is....
