Paul Where are you? We used a professional fuel polisher person who came to the baot and with a pump and a bunch of filters. He washed the tank with the fuel and filtered all the fuel and put back

After 25 years of loyal service it is time to retire our clothes washer. Parts are very hard to get, and it’s positively geriatric... Our SM has an older (1996, Hull 160) clothes washer install,

Tom, I am not sure. I believe that Maramus have the same rack. You should send an email to SAV"@"Amel.fr and ask. Please let me know at email below what they say.

Hi all, My dip stick tells me I have a fairly thick coat of sludge at the bottom of the tank. I have just done a short but fairly rough passage, motor sailing, with 170 litres in the tank, and did

Good day Bill I was wondering if Amel would have the racks for a 1983 Maramu # 125. Barra De Navidad Mexico 200 miles to go for a circumnavigation !! Thanks TOM Deasy

Hi Scott and Porter, I choose to use a 10 or even 30 micron filter on the Racor followed by the Volvo secondary filter which is 2 micron I believe. In my opinion by having the pre-filter at 2 micron

I understand. We have the same setup. The dual racor (A vs B) and A+B if one wishes. We keep the 2 micron on both A and B and use only A or B, switching back and forth. Filter C is of course the

Porter, I have the two racor filter setup. I consider this the primary filter / pre-filter. Options: 1) FilterA only 2) FilterB only 3) FilterA and FilterB in parallel Do you run the 2 micron filters

Hi Scott, I really can't say what I do is right, but here are a few things that seem to work for me so far. 1) I try to use more than half the tank before refueling to replace the old with fresh.

There are only two ways to keep your fuel tank, when you store a boat: 1) completely full, to the top 2) bone dry, empty. Chapter 1: The reason is that during the course of the day, air expands and

Hi Scott, Cleanliness is next to Godliness! So a certain amount of paranoia is a good thing. I did spend some time considering installing a fuel polishing system but in the end I decided to just keep

Scott, When we received our 8 month and 800 sm old Amel 54 the bowthruster stopped to work because one cableshoe pressed on a very short cable on the motor was inside burned and produced its own

Hi Scott, The problem is ( in EU) Diesel contains 7 % Biodiesel which is hydrophil and this will bring water into the diesel and growth of bacteria = the dieselbug will follow. A good tested product

Exactly all of what you do Scott. I also have about 20 2 micron racors and use the 2 micron as pre filters. I change more frequently too. Every 100 hrs or so. Id love to install a fuel polishing

My paranoia about my Volvo D3-110 (rev c) has been kicked back into high gear. I think this applies to anyone with a diesel engine but particularly with the hyper sensitive D3-110. I know a few A54

Mike, I have two aft seals facing out and fore seal facing in. "facing" to me indicates which way the spring is. I am about 650 hours on these seals and zero water ingress and zero drop in oil level.

Our bow thruster was indeed wired through a switch, too. I've worked with Sleipner to try to isolate the intermittent functioning problem to no avail. It runs full speed and then stops momentarily and

Hi Mike, I suspect there is nothing new on this nor any particular consensus - it may well have migrated from engineering to philosophy ;-) If yours is fine you may want to follow the adage of, "If it
