Paul, The keel did not yet have the bottom paint applied to it in the picture I posted. The gray color is the epoxy coating. -- Mark McGovern SM #440 Cara Deale, MD USA

Sorry, no reason to stop you. We have one..it's brilliant, not just for us, but helping others to fill their bottles when 000's of miles from civilisation. We were in Suwarrow in 2014 and one boat had

Mark, I may have missed something in this thread, but why is the keel a different colour? Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98 - Grenada

Barry, This is something I’ve been interested in too. What changes did you make to the boom line? Would you have a photo? Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98 - Grenada

I’m with Mark. Super easy to maintain. Such a pleasure. Opens a whole new world. Do it! Porter A54-152 Excuse the errors. Sent from my IPhone Www.fouribis.net

Hi, I just picked up mine yesterday, didn't even look for a reason not too. Fun will be had long after the cost is forgotten. Can you point me to the drawings you mentioned? Cheers Bryce SV Seamaster

Do it – it’s only money. We have one. It’snot hard to maintain and I can fill a tank to 3200psi in about 20 mins. Think about allthe many locations in French Polynesia where you

OK- I have hull #422 (a red line) and each day I wistfully look at that un-used dive compressor breaker on the 220 volt panel and feel like it's talking to me. My wife and I are enthusiastic divers

Agree with Tom! Be aware of the bend radius. Once the hose kinksit is trash. Rule of thumb;the bend radius of a corrugated wire reinforced hose is 4 times the insidediameter of the hose. IMO

Just did the main engine exhaust from the mixing elbow to the muffler. Discovered how important bend radius is in the hose. Mine was 4 1/2 inches and I needed every bit of that plus some

Just did the ice blasting to the gel-coat of my AMEL SM in Belgium and put 3 layers of epoxy + 2 layers of antifouling. Ice blasting was very nice and gentle to the gel-coat. Paid EUR 3.000 gross for

Bill in your schematic, The relays are 12VDC control and 24VDC load circuit, easy to put a 2-3 amp fuse on the load circuit. I've searched for this relay and find it quite difficult to find the

Thank's I will check with them. That is what I am looking for, someone with experience who has done this. I am hoping to be able to make one with 6ft clearance under. Very Best Barry

Check with Amel Caraibes I believe there was a hardtop manufactured there a couple of years ago they should know which boat did it and who did the fiberglass work maybe the mold is still available

Hello Amel 54 owners, I have seen and been onboard some Amel 54's with custom Hardtops. Most are a little low in height. We are in Martinique since March and will probably be here for some time as the

Shiny, clean and new looking. Mark you can do my Bottom anytime.... Aras Grinius SV FIASCO Sharki #163

Wow, Jose, I’ve never had this happen on Kincsem. I guess the answer is not to go to a marina and anchor instead! Seriously, maybe you deploy a bit of the mizzen sail to change the rhythm? Je

Pat, HHN uses fairly large timbers for a boat our size - roughly 8"x8". It gave me just enough room to lay on my side, and use and grind the old epoxy back. It was gruelling work and OSHA would
