Jeff, Having just stayed at both, I would recommend Blue Haven if you were going to leave the boat unattended. At Turtle Cove we were side tied to a rather rough bulkhead. Not terrible, but the

Thank you all for your comments. I checked out the space and there may be enough to mount the drive in the opposite side of the electric one. I also though that pump could be mounted on the

Hello Jeff, Going to echo Mark. I stayed at Blue Haven Marina for 2.5 months, was only going to stay 2 to 3 weeks because of the price, but the marina was so nice, the only 5 star marina I stayed in

I am curious if there is anyone that has kept a log of engine turbo performance under way? My 54 has the Volvo D3-110 engine. I regret that in the past I have not recorded the turbo boost pressure at

Hello Everyone. I am far away from an Amel boat today and my failing memory cannot recall which model of Autoprop is on the Amel 54. Can anyone help me out with the Bruntons Autoprop Model Number

Duane, Good question... I actually spread cement on the male connector, and then slide the hose on while the cement is still wet. double clamping immediately. It does take some time to dry, and

I have two sets of questions: 1) My rotary drive has failed. I makes sounds as if it is receiving the signal but the wheel does not turn. Is it a failing clutch? If that is the problem can it be

Thanks James! I appreciate your input.
