...perfect Ian ! In the while Alban from Amel Marin told me the same. Where are you ? We are saling Greek waters. Ciao Giovanni

Hi Giovanni , We took the sail off and disconnected the gearbox from the foil and then took the gearbox off the mast . This allowed the foil to drop down and the very bottom could then be gently

Dear Jan & Judy, Do you remember their procedure to do that ? (Sail removed, lift down gear ecc ?) After a saling around the world always with trade winds from port side, wrong side for furling,

Hi Courtney, After seeing Delos fixing his we hired a car and drove to Darte yesterday in Fort de France, Martinique. They will not have any until October. Looking for a compact unit 220V. As we are

Not sure what your "green zone" translates to in bars as I have a gauge with numbers and 60 bars +/- is where these operate (actually I usually get good tds at 850 psi / 58 bars). These pumps

Hi Giovanni, When we had the same problem after about 10 years and 50,000 miles the Amel team in Guadeloupe took about 2.5 cm off the bottom of the foil and drilled new holes. One day I shall go up

Hi to all, thanks to Duane Siegfri photos it was possible to see how the foil is connected to the furling gear shaft. Well, I suppose that my steel upper bolt has enlarged a little

Hi Porter, Both brass fittings have just been replaced on the pump by me, in and out a few times. The high pressure side broke off completely and the low pressure/inlet had a hairline crack. I only

Hi Porter, When I bought Amelia, the 160 litre per hour 220v watermaker produced a fine mist of salt water. It turned out to be that Brass Elbow between the CAT pump and the pressure bulb that you

Gary et all I’ve read this thread a bunch and it is super helpful. Thanks for all your insights, and others. I’ve removed our cat pump several times in the past week and it’s a real bear.

Hi José, Next time just remove the thermostat (don't put in the spare). It is not too important anyway as it simply allows the engine to come up to temperature more quickly by restricting the

Hi Paul, I think you are correct in that it breaks when sideways load occurs which should not happen if everything is operating as designed. The nylon hook has little tolerance to this loading. In my

t is perhaps a good idea to install a thermometer to control the temperature exhaust water . Then you have a reference . Best Elja SM Balu 222 Von meinem iPhone gesendet

Use a handheld I/R (Infared Thermometer} to get independent temp readings.

This was a very useful 3-year-old set of postings for me. We just crossed from Grenada to Curaçao sailing for 48 hours with double spy and 18-22 knots of wind from the starboard stern. As we got
