I went to a professional key cutter/locksmith to get a new key cut for the companion way lock. He told me that he couldn't do it as the Amel key is an unusual size and he couldn't get the

Hi every one; We'd like to add a fuel polishing system that would also allow fuel to be pumped into the tank through the added filter so that it would be filtered prior to going into the tank. I

Hi Eric; Thanks for sharing your experience. All good information. I wonder if the Volvo D-3 110 would have any different requirements and therefore be more sensitive to a 2 micron filter that your

My dual racor filter shows little if no vacuum. I have been using the 2 micron filter now for 5400 engine hours and just changed the nozzles on the injectors which looked very good. We had no wind

Thanks for the Link Alan. Interesting read. Mohammad and Aty B&B Kokomo Amel 54 099

Really good discussion on 2 vs 3o micron filters here : Fuel Filter Micron Ratings Explained | | PassageMaker Fuel Filter Micron Ratings Explained | | PassageMaker

The unused fuel pumped thru the fuel system serves to cool and lubricate the injectors and injection pump. The 2 micron filters will reduce the rate of flow. Whether it is too much is hard to tell.

Bill, This is what Yanmar recommended and I have been using it for years. http://www.howeslube.com/meanerpowerkleaner.php Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Alexandre, Sorry, I' m not on the boat. 37-40 C is not our cup of tea, so we retreat to the mere 20's of London for July and August. Ian and Judy, Pen Azen, SM 302, Preveza

Good morning Ian, thanks for the information. Do you happened to know the size of the O Ring? I had mine measured, but not sure if this is accurate... Sincerely,

I think small debris and whirling or whipping current will cause what happened. I experienced abarnacle on one of the sensors which basically shut it down. Bill Rouse BeBe Amel 53 #387 Sent from my

Thanks Colin, yes, its all a bit strange... Glad you're enjoying the updates... I have to say there's not many cruising yachts up here this season....maybe the fear of the last cyclone or the bad

Hi Alan Your experience is exactly the same as ours. We haven't been out sailing for a few weeks now but ours did similar things over a period of a couple months (perhaps only 20 hrs sailing though)

Hi Alexandre, The first time we changed the oil in our propeller leg it was done by an Amel engineer at La Rochelle. He advised me that the O rings that came already

Hi Alan, The same happened to me in Teneriffa last year. Now my Sonic Speed is still working without repair. I think there was some current in the harbour. Hope this helps Hajo SM 150

I've researched all the msgs on this topic 'cos I thought ours had died. Yesterday when we were about to enter Suva Harbour, Fiji, the B&G boat speed instrument went crazy - down to 2 knots then up

Thanks I think the suggestion of having two o-rings is very good. I do use a lot of grease in this type of applicationa Paul on SYKerpa SM 259
