Hi Rob, Many times it is stamped on the gypsy itself on the face where where the chain lays around it, When we were in Europe SVB 24 had good prices.

Hi Matt & Michelle, I have installed a forward scan in 2019. I installed the transducer on the starboard side next to the depth transducer. I am running it on a Simard nss16evo2 and I am using it

For each type of chain you can buy the correct gypsy type for a Lofrans Tigres. -- Gerhard Mueller Amel Sharki #60 Currently North Sea, Germany

I am surprised you could keep on of these windlasses going so long! Good job! I'd be MORE surprised if you have the original 38 year old chain, and, of course, the size of that is really what

Matt, I had my transducer installed by a marine electrical company,due to it being covered by an insurance claim. I have installed a few transducers and it is pretty straightforward. With the forward

I am replacing my 38 years old Lofrans Tigres. Does anyone know whether Amel used DIN or ISO specifications for the gypsy? I suppose ISO since these are generally used in southern europe. Best

Hi all, I'm trying to make a cutting board for a friend with a SM2K that fits into the countertop area above the washing machine but I need the measurements. Could someone provide me the

Eric, Yes, Amel has a rebuild kit that will fit the foils on a SM and 54, except for late model 54s where Amel increased the size of the foil on the 54 main furler. CW Bill Rouse Amel Owners Yacht

The last 2 days I had the pleasure of rebuilding the manual furler for the mainsail. I would first like to thank Mother Ship Adrift for his video. It was very helpful. I saw in a later video that his

Richard, I believe what you are using there is 3" Trident FLEX wet exhaust hose. That hose is rated for a minimum bend radius of 9 inches, which looks like a MUCH more gentle bend than you are trying

Richard, The exhaust hose can easily handle the normal exhaust temperatures with cooling water flowing through. But when the flow of cooling water is eliminated the temperatures rise considerably.

At the risk of thread drift, here is what the melt looked like in place. See the hard turn of the exhaust hose. When I got the new hose, heated it and bent it, I could hear crackling on the inside
