Rafa, The new Icom tuners are amazingly waterproof. I would mount it right below the antenna. In addition the length of the wire from the tuner to the antenna is also is added into the total length

Hi Rafa, There is not a lot of things unique about an Amel SSB installation over other boats, but I have a couple of comments on things to consider. I did not do the installation on our boat, it come

I'd hope he would share with all of us and not just "trade" for a book chapter.

Bill R. means to say kW-hours... not kW. Kilowatts are easy, they are just volts*amps and are an instantaneous measure of power use. No need for a meter to display kW. It goes up and down exactly as

Alex, I read your posting about finding a washer replacement in Martinique for the Amel54. I will trade you the written procedures and photos on how to remove and replace the washer for you giving

I found a Beko washing machine at the big electronics mall in Ft. de France / Martinique which fits exactly the AMEL54 space thanks to its 84x60x40cm size. It's a Beko with the easy to remember

JP, Yes, I do. I have photos and instructions for removal of the washer in the Amel 54 which I prepared for my Amel School book. Write me at brouse"at"gmail.com and I will reply with a 2 page PDF

Eric, At one time I had four Trojan H16s in our boat (same size and weight I think as the US Battery ones). They sit fairly close to centerline and there was no issue regarding weight balance, which

Kent, It's good to hear from you, I hope all is well! An air leak sounds like a promising lead, I'll look into that carefully. I haven't noticed any bubbles in the sight glass while the pressure gage

Amel Owners, Thank you for all the kind replies on this - especially the direct emails offering retired motors! Yes, the motor is thoroughly cooked and wiring all melted/bonded. I was very lucky that

Hi Jay, I removed the headsail furling motor on my 1983 Maramu and replaced it with a manual furler. The motor has been sitting in my garage for about 12 years. It was working fine when I removed
