Ryan, Early SM’s had SS mufflers; mine has... A good SS person can cut into it and replicate the unit. I had my new one made in NZ GOOD luck Jean-Pierre Germain, SY Eleuthera,SM 007

That's original. I don't have any info. I think I would eliminate it, although it would be convenient to keep the pressure gauge. I think modern pumps regulate pressure good enough. Best, CW Bill

No. That is original, but I thought I remembered the PO fabricating a SS muffler. My mistake. Best, CW Bill Rouse Amel Owners Yacht School +1 832-380-4970 | brouse@... 720 Winnie, Galveston Island,

Hi Bill, That's certainly possible, but I thought I've seen others like it on other SMs, and it has the same non-skid as the top of the engine. I've attached a photo. Does that look custom to

Hi all, Our boat has a device in the fresh water system just after the pump (photos attached) that I think is a pressure regulator. It reads "Caleffi Mod Dep Cartridge With Filter". I can't find an

I believe that your stainless muffler was probably fabricated by a previous owner.

Hi all, Our stainless muffler has started to rust out, and I'd like to replace it while I'm also replacing the turbo and mixing elbow. I'd rather not go with the plastic Vetus that seems to be the

Bill, Ulrich, Eric, Thank you very much for your immediate help and the ensuing focus which enabled me to “unlock” the maintenance operations at the yard Best to you all Paolo SM 454

I don't know, but I can guess. I think Amel used that same "mechanical furl" gearbox with some vertical electric furling motors (later model 54 main furler). This may be the reason the drain holes

Hi Thomas; We had the same stiffening within a year of purchasing Kokomo. It got progressively worse to a point that we felt we may be damaging the gears by placing the amount of force required to

Hello, As the old B&G Hydra system gave up on our 54, and also the sonic speed system failed. I did not see a reasonable way to go on and repair the old system. So we renewed the windvane and use

Hi all, In the great document by Gary Silver about the overhaul of the SM Mizzen furler gearbox (thanks Arno for sending us a low bandwidth friendly version), it is mentioned that the bottom part of

Marco, I sent you an email with the instructions you need. Bill

Thierry BALLARD is a good man and a valuable resource to Amel and Amel yacht owners. I like him a lot, but if he told you this, it is not the practice of the Amel yards and it is not what is specified

Ultich and Pat - Here is what Olivier Beaute had to say on the subject 4 years ago. Craig Beaute Olivier 04/11/16 #26221 Hi Bill, the C-drive has been designed by AMEL in 1989. There has been

We did exactly the same. One thing we learnt was to check the underside of the carpet. The one we bought shed a whole lot of the fabric binding material and we were forever sweeping and hoovering the

Given the length of the sensors and the (guestimated) diameter of the hole I would say the sensors are self-aligning just because of the fit. Regards, Arno Luijten SV Luna, A54-121

Bill, I thought that was only for the bow thruster , now for the C-Drive as well? I have still been using 20-40. Stay Safe, Pat SM#123

We did the same as Gary ,making a template and cutting the carpet,then had the binding done, I think I undercut the carpet about 3/16" to allow for binding. We were surprise how well it all fit,as
