Hi Dean, In my boat the AIS is normally not transmitng. You have to read the manual and see how to change it on the plotter. On the hidra 3000, heading is off also on my boat. Ofer Magen

Bill, I do not know who has/had more spares You on BeBe, Alexandre on Nikimat, or Kimberlite. Fair Winds Eric

Bill, I actually have 3. One was always a spare. One was hit by lightning 10 years ago. I rebuilt it after the Insurance co paid for it and a number of other motors ( I bought them bac as salvage

Eric, You are lucky to have a new AFMA pump. We can no longer buy them. Best CW Bill Rouse Admiral, Texas Navy Commander Emeritus Amel School www.amelschool.com 720 Winnie St Galveston Island, TX

My Amfa domestic water pump was leaking. I removed the pump and found that the circlip that holds the pumps shaft seal was broken and worked its way into the side of the seal. I removed the seal and

Thanks Alan I'm close by (Musket Cove) and will check with them when we get back from the Yasawas. I was hoping that an owner of an older Amel might have already gone through this and had a

Thanks Wolfgang, In that case, I suspect my silent wiring connections are not shorted. I'll chase up the vhf connections before going further with the unit. Thanks Dean

Dean, TX is permanently orange in silent mode, no light and every few seconds blue when active AIS. I have no connection to H3000 with Heading. 2 years ago my FA50 was dead in receiving AIS. No

Hi Wolfgang, Thanks. Unfortunately I could not find such a switch in the same location on Stella. I have not managed to find the end of the power cable for the FA50 to see if the two conductors

Bill M, That's good advice. Step 1 for me is to get an understanding of the entire system and it's interconnections. Then I'm happy to start digging out cables 😳 I now believe the heading data

Dean , Do you see the little switch AIS Tx = should be up if you want to transmit AIS signal. Switch down = only receiving AIS. Is your FA-50 programmed to your MMSI? FA-50 is under the rear cushion

Bill K, I wish I knew the answer to that. We've owned the boat less than a month, and it has been like this since then. I suspect it may well have been like this for a long time. We also have a

Hi Bob, Where are you in Fiji ? If you are at Vuda Pt marina or Denarau, you could try Baobab Marine, they may be able to help you. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

Danny, thanks for the advice but my exterior teak is not varnished but teak oiled as per the Amel original. The interior wood is of course varnished and I have always used Pledge

I'm currently in Fiji and have a bad motor on my older (1985) Maramu. When this broke Last month while in Vanuatu I took the motor to a shop to see if they could repair it. They couldn't and in fact

Hi Graham, My email is sailadventurer@... We plan to replace our standing rigging this season and so the diagram of your headsail furler would be most welcome as it is different than the one we had on

Hi. The easiest way to remove the black streaks on the wash board is to use a cloth damped with acetone. Don't get it on the rubber though. The easiest way to stop the black streaks is to apply

Hello Mike, I found the original Amel seal not to be that satisfactory in the predominately hot climate that my boat spends. The problem is that as the seal deteriorates it leaves black

Dean, I believe that there is a "heading device" for the Furuno Autopilot. I believe that it is possible that Amel does not normally connect it to the H3000. I think that you could learn a lot if you
