Re: Bosch washing machine for Amel 54
Hi Ruedi,
Sorry for the late reply. No, my OEM Bosch is still going after my intervention which mainly consisted of painting the thing from the inside and respraying the front panel. But I’m not surprised with the remark of Bill Rouse. One of the most overrated brands from Germany must be Bosch. I have so many bad experiences with Bosch, it is no longer funny. Typically when my car had some failure is was due to a Bosch part (and I drive only non-German cars). Also the way the washing machine on the Amel has been constructed is very, very run of the mill. There is nothing special about them other then they still used a fully stainless drum as opposed to the Korean brands that seem to think is is a good idea to have the part that holds the drum to the actual shaft made of aluminium. Korean washers need an anode! SV Delos found this out the hard way. So I don’t think you would do poorly with Beko. They have been around for a quite while in Europe and my guess is they have improved over time in contradiction to Bosch that only wants to save money. Cheers, Arno SV Luna, A54-121

Still, nice salvage job for the adventurous. Mind you December in the North Atlantic is no place for sissies…

Sure looks like the Bali Hai,

Sounds like it might be Bali Hai (the Super Maramu not the Santorin). She was abandoned last year during a coast guard rescue few hundred miles off Cape Hatteras. I hope they find her again.

Re: A54 Tumble-drier
Hi Martin
No, according to Robins picture he installed on the original place where the Bosch, was above the toilet bowl. But still then it is very challenging to put in there. Especially to bring it down through the forward door. I think he had to final assemble the fixing bolts after moved it the forward head. Isn’t it Robin.

Re: MDKAL starting problem
Bill Kinney
Bob,
I can't give you the exact number (we don't have an Onan anymore, and when we did, ours was a different model) but the label on the solenoid has the original number from the manufacturer for the solenoid, which is the one you need. You might have some luck if you have the Onan part number for the specific part on your genset, and using that to look up cross reference numbers. Bill Kinney SM160, Harmonie Brunswick, GA, USA

Re: Maintenance spreadsheet or software
Bill Kinney
I have used ShipShape Pro as an App on my iPad for years as my maintenance planning and recording program. There is a bit of a learning curve (unless you are a database nerd) but it's worth it. You can save maintenance schedules, things that break, tracking of costs, photos, repairs, logs of trips and fuel, etc, etc. I'd have to work REALLY cheap before it was worth my time to set up my own program to do all the things this program does...
Don't try to implement ALL of the features right at the start, but add them a bit at a time. If you are the OCD type you can use it to organize all your storage locations on the boat as well. I am not that organized! I don't know it it is available on other platforms, but it seems well suited to the iPad. Bill Kinney SM160, Harmonie Brunswick, GA, USA

Re: Maintenance spreadsheet or software
Here's the spreadsheet I used on my 1995 Amel SM. Once you set up all the parameters (e.g. engine hrs or calendar time between oil changes) it automatically tells you the next scheduled check. It worked well for me. If you have questions, call or text me at 206-375-2787. Bill Shaproski Pacific Cool SM 141

Maintenance spreadsheet or software
I posted this on FB as well so my apologies for the duplicate post….
-- I’m looking to improve my preventative & scheduled maintenance of my on board systems on our Amel SM. Does anyone use an .XL based spreadsheet to track, plan and schedule necessary maintenance on all the different systems? I’m envisioning a multi tab spreadsheet that separates by each system(ie generator, propulsion engine, running rigging, electric furlers etc…). It would be cool if it provided auto reminders of upcoming items needing attention. I anxious to hear what others are using to try to stay ahead of scheduled preventative maintenance.

Re: 220v breakers
Patrick McAneny
Thanks all, I know the breakers are very expensive,I don’t think I will be in one place long enough to get them from Maud. I was thinking about buying another brand of 25A breaker and wire it into the panel for now. I may substitute the heater breaker,however I think it may be weak as well.

Have a Beko in my Lisbon apartment – it’s very economical on power and water use (A+++ rated apparently).
And the 30 min. cycle @ 30 degrees washes excellently for a low soil load.
