I contacted Amel regarding supplying these parts. If they are not going to do it, we need to make arrangements because these will need service when approaching 20-25 years old. I also contacted to US

Hi Eamonn, What you are experiencing sounds very similar to the beginnings of the failure we experienced on Aloha in 2018. We were getting some noise initially from the racks, and it was more

Hi Steering to port is harder than steering to starboard on my SM. I cleaned the rudder, checked for loose steering cables, and they seem to be OK. I do sometimes hear a quiet metallic clunk when

Hello! I'm also planning to change the timing belt, for you who did it yourself, was it difficult? did it required any special tools? When at it, is it anything else one should replace while at this

jp.germain45@... Alan, In Vuda now 5 boats away from Danny Simms (Ocean Pearl) and I’m using Mohit Naicker.. apparently the best around here. The work would be far less troublesome if we had a

Hello Joerg, WOW! I’d been told by someone who should know…. Thank you. JPG Jean-Pierre Germain jp.germain45@...

Hi Jean-Pierre, I have a Climma central chiller setup on A55 #53. Sorry to be of no help. Joerg

Hi JP There are aircon / refrigeration techs in and around Suva / Lautoka that could surely help. There used to be a guy at Vuda Pt but he got swallowed up by Baobab and disappeared some years

I agree with Bill R. If you need the power, that’s a great converter. I installed one to support my engine start battery while using my SSB from 12V. Dean SY Stella A54-154

The swivel on my 1986 Mango with power furling is similar, thought not exactly the same. There are several seals and bearings in the assembly. I was able to replace all of the parts with the numbers

Hello Amelians, We have a problem: when we refitted Eleuthera, the Klimma units were completely destroyed. We changed the system to Webasto Blue Cool S which we understood to be the chosen AC fit

Hi David, The choice is indeed endless. The structural decisions you make will go a long way to determine the power rating you end up with. Larger heavier panels mean more power, but you need to

yes we are owners SM Luna

Thanks Thomas, Can you tell me anything about your solar system - panels, controller etc. please? I'm looking online at lots of different panels, the choice seems endless! Best David SY Wilna Grace

I really like the Victron Energy Orion-Tr 24DC-12DC 20 Amp Converter (Isolated). It can be programmed as a simple 24-12 volt converter, or can even be used as a charger for the 12V starting battery.

Here’s our solution: Stitched a weighty stainless steel chain into no-see-em screen...(Did the same for all hatches.) Works great; easy to store away. SV Rascal ASM2K #404 -- Rick & Linda

Hi Thomas, Since your current requirement is negligible you could steal 12V from one of the 12V instruments, but that is a really messy solution in my opinion. Like others, I installed a 24/12 DCDC

Your a champ Bill, thanks I must mention, this is a great community and forum, very very helpful and kind - excellent Regards Paul

Same from my files...be sure to check internal batteries often and change maybe every year. And here is a deal:

Why not just use a two piece screen (2 screens that are 1/2 the companionway height ) with or without a hinge?
