They have an option to install a cusomer supplied radio and I am trying
to determine if

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Oil Change or addition for Mango furler gearbox
Ken,
When saltwater gets past the shaft (stainless furler tube) seal, the aluminum casing at the top of the gear case gets corroded and seizes up the shaft. If there is grease/oil in the bottom

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Oil Change or addition for Mango furler gearbox
Hi Tom,
No, there are no markings on mine either. It probably wouldn't help anyway as mine is a prototype furler, similar to the one on the Maramu. The newer Sharki's have a smaller furler.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re:Gas Bottles
Hi Golden Daze,
I have US gas bottles on my Maramu and I fill them regularily from Continental bottles. It's very simple to do, you can buy a fitting in almost any shop. BTW, no problems with refills

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] fresh water pump and pressure
Udo:
Thanks for your reply. I have just found out that Jabsco has
been having problems with their higher capacity variable speed pumps
and stopped shipping them to resellers some months ago.

Re: gasoline smell
Dear Hans-Joachim,
We stored our gasoline jerry cans in the safety locker. This isolated
them from the cabin, environmental exposure, and all electrical systems
(which reduces the explosion hazard).
