My alternator stopped charging the battery. It looks like alternator is OK. I measured voltage on black and red wires comming from the alternator at 25v at 750 engine RPM. At low RPM the alternator

Patrick, In my boat the typical black wheel screw is in the cabinet just aft of the relays under the breakers for the boom/mast/windlass/jib. Can't help with the connections though... Duane Wanderer,

Alan, Thanks for the reply. I think I can repair this one. I just have to figure out how to remove the tapered roller bearing. Wolfgang, Can you tell me how you removed the tapered roller bearing?

Bill, I have received my Quick windlass control. I can't see the relays well enough to read the labels . I always assumed the panel detached from the cabinet to better access it. There is a brown wire

Hi Brent, Good luck inyour search. Amels are darn fine boats and it is worth waiting for the rightone to come onto the market. We went from aCheoy Lee 38 to our Amel. It was a huge learning

Hi all. I've had a dream since the late 1970's to buy and cruise an Amel (I still have th Cruising World issues with Joel's ads on Mango's and Maramu's) Life intervened but now, I'm in a situation

Hi, Mine is a standard Vetus sea chest with strainer. They are in the Vetus catalog. It is easy to identify in the catalog. I ash my strainer in a bucket in the starboard aft corner of the cockpit

Hi, Does anyone have the size, model number and perhaps a source for the strainer for the Super Maramu 2000/Millenniums? I usually spray it out outside the engine room and outside the cockpit and it

Hi Duane, I had this issue a couple of years ago. I replaced the manual gearbox .... at great expense from Amel ! The upper bearing on the main gearbox is a trap for salt water. I regularly wash it

I've overhauled the mainsail furler gearboxes and I was dry-fitting them back on before I painted them when I realized that the manual furler for the mainsail foil in the mast is stuck fast. I cannot
