Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Using a 110V power-strip on 230V boat?
Hi Duane. Check the chargers for your phones and computer. Unless they are very old , most chargers will accept 90 to 240 volts AC. Should be a label on the chargers themselves. Makes life easier…

Gerhard,
That injection pump has been brutalized and probably ruined by someone. That bolt is not original.
See the attached pages from the Onan Parts Catalog.

That is a good idea - vegetable oil to lubricate the holding tank valves - does anyone else know of an approved method to lubricate the through hull valves?

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Lofrans Tigres Undersized
Sorry Stephen
Yes the rear cover. It's the only removable cover on the Tigres. It won't come off as the diameter of the 1500W motor is such that the cover hits the cabin top when you try to slide it

Hi Alan,
I am not sure what situations you mean. By "cover" are you referring to the rear housing? Can you be more specific?
