Graham, Thank you for responding. I thought the same thing but the owner's manual I have for the boat mentions periodic lubrication. Maybe it was lost in translation? Cheers, Dave

Hi, After the previous owner of my boat had to replace the streering cables which broke during a transatlantic crossing I was concerned with this situation since I was considering crossing my Mango

Hi GrahamYou were up and about early on this glorious autumn morning. Re steering cables I found no method of lubricating them and was told by a pal with a Maramu that they were sealed for life, I'll

I am in the final step to purchase the SM2K, just want to double check the maximum rpm the engine should reach. The turbo has been previously changed, was clugged due to the lack of high rpm, it seens

Jean-Pierre, As a former owner of two successive Amels, and two other boats too, I support entirely Bill’s point of view. To try to characterize Amels when compared to Oyster, I would say that
