We have the aqua king 2 and love it. Good pressure with both showers going. Very reliable in that we've been full time live-aboards for 10 years and I've replaced it once.......with a spare I seemed

CorrosionX is a sailor's best friend! I could tell you dozens of similar stories. If you own an Amel and do not have one of these, you will spend a lot more money than those who do have one of

Hi Nick, if I understand you correctly the cracked part is the curved piece that carries the balls around the end. I had the same and the replacement car was expensive so almost for the fun of trying

I don't think I'd go with 55psi. I've had both 25psi and 40psi ParMax 4's on board for the past seven years. They are not super-long lived (but then again, they get ~lots~ of hours on them) and

Many thanks Bill, will walk over there on monday regds

I don't know if you were in the meeting during the overtime portion, but Olivier agreed to come back in 4-6 months for an Amel Question/Answer session. We will figure out a way to get questions in

Nick, I think you are referring to the main boom outhaul shackle. This shackle is one that was modified by Amel, is available from Amel, and if you go see David Waters in his shop there in Antigua, he

Apologies, title should of course read Main Outhaul car and not traveller!!!

Awesome discussion! Thank you to all for putting this together. Incredibly informative! Cheers! Brian
