Re: Starting Capacitor size for a 220v, 50Hz 2.5 kw water maker high pressure motor
After major surgery getting the motor/pump out of the engine room (there was no way I could get the back cover out) I found that after turning the motor by hand IT IS WORKING YEEEA!.
So, Mark you

Hi William,
This is not unique for Amel. Oyster, Hallberg Rassy and other do the same for the bigger yachts. If you have 18 meters or more of mast the halyards become very, very long. As you rarely

Re: no bilgepump in saloon Am54
Hi Jeroen,
It's not clear to me... where did you run the discharge hose for the new pump?
These bilge compartments should always be dry so a high water alarm is usually sufficient for those rare times

Re: no bilgepump in saloon Am54

Hi Jeroen,
Most owners have flooded the forward bilges when refilling the watertank. It’s a bit of a design flaw as there is actually an overflow to the cavity of the companion way hatch and from

Re: Am54 water in bilge floor below aft shower
Hi Jeroen,
Access to the area under the shower requires extreme agility. You can also remove the airconditioner to get slightly better access. The floorboard just in front of the housing of the A/C

I've looked at all the old topics concerning dropping the furling mainsail and found a lot of 'what was Amel thinking'? on the length of the main halyard. I've sailed many, many boats in my life but
