Same problem. Grows dimmer by the year, and about to be lost forever. Occasional read at night w/flashlight at angle. No fix in sight. Contemplating a stand alone hour meter. Would like a more Bristol

I'm on my way to the US and though I would buy replacement LED lights for my 1997 Santorin Allegra. Anyone know what diameter the original light fittings are? I think the one on the salon ceiling is

Hello all, Our engine hour meter located in the tach assy, has a digital readout. Sometimes we can read it and sometimes we can't. It seems that it is always working, but so dim we can not make out

Thank all of you for your comments & advice!

Can anyone answer whether the SSB grounding system should be connected to the vessel's overall grounding system. The manual says no, if I remember correctly, but on discovery of severe electrolysis

Hi Lars, thank you very much for your interesting information. What about the engine trasmission, the C trasmission from Amel, is it ok? I heard that for a period, the first years of its

Unfortunately I don't know how the Maramu fuel tank is but I know very well Sharki's tank. This winter we had a very big refurbishing of our Sharki nr. 144 and we put the fuel tank on the land, out of

Jochen You are correct, that the lack of access ports in these well made stainless steel tanks must be addressed at some point on every boat. Diesel will shed crud---living and dead---that must be

In one of the recent boat magazines: either Latitudes and Attitudes or Passagemaker, there was an article on the subject of fuel polishing systems and installation of inspection ports in

Hi ! Maramu fuel tank hasn´t any possibility of inspection. Because of internal baffle you cannot clean the whole floor but only the portion under the feeding hole.This is the most important area,

In our 46 we found no access ports. We used a fuel polishing firm to come in and pump out the tank. Flush it and pump it again. After three flushing and a bit of air pressue to pruge the lines (

Hi maramu 48, I'm afraid I cannot give many advices on a Maramu 46 (I think that's the right LOA), but I own an Euros 41 in which the diesel tanks were in stainless still nad built inside the hull
