Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] RPMs and Temperature reading
Thank you for the suggestions. I know that both thermostats are OK, they open before the water boils. I will make the test of the sensor/gauge with boiling water to see if it is a measurement

Re: Main Furling gear box connection to foil
Hi Giovanni ,
We took the sail off and disconnected the gearbox from the foil and then took the gearbox off the mast .
This allowed the foil to drop down and the very bottom could then be gently

Re: Water maker Questions
Not sure what your "green zone" translates to in bars as I have a gauge with numbers and 60 bars +/- is where these operate (actually I usually get good tds at 850 psi / 58 bars). These pumps

Re: Main Furling gear box connection to foil
Hi Giovanni,
When we had the same problem after about 10 years and 50,000 miles the Amel team in Guadeloupe took about 2.5 cm off the bottom of the foil and drilled new holes.
One day I shall go up

Main Furling gear box connection to foil
Hi to all,
thanks to Duane Siegfri photos it was possible to see how the foil is connected to the furling gear shaft.
Well, I suppose that my steel upper bolt has enlarged a little

Gary et all I’ve read this thread a bunch and it is super helpful. Thanks for all your insights, and others.
I’ve removed our cat pump several times in the past week and it’s a real bear.
