Re: Antifouling for the Mediterranean
I second Bill R.
Just did the anti-fouling on my A54 and 20 L is a good estimate. You probablycan get by with 2 liters less.
I used much more because I decided to apply 3 coats

Gearbox for outhaulAmel
For a few weeks or possibly months, the outhaul furler has been slower than the main furler on my A55. Amel had me check the current limiter - it’s ok - and then had me check the current when

Fresh water pump connector
Dear Amelians,
On the pic you see a beige plastic part that connects to the grey tube. It's dripping water. I'm trying to disassemble, turning, pulling, pushing...no success It stays where it is and

Re: Antifouling for the Mediterranean
How many litres per coat is required for a 54? I expect a 55 is not much or if any a larger surface area and I generally use 12 litres for 2 coats but maybe this is not correct?

Re: Headsail furler issues
Adam,
Before you remove the motor you have to determine if it is electrical or mechanical problem.
Reverse polarity on the motor and see if it rotates.

Many thanks to you all for the rapid response, advice and a clear consensus. I'll go with 2 coats of the 350.

Hi David;
We applied 3 coats of micron 350 last year in Malta. The boat has been in the water since and the result is fine so far. We had used micron 66, when it was available , and it worked fine for

Hi David
Depending on what antifoul is on there already, you should find this out and check what you can use next or how to prepare
Once the hull is prepared and you know the gel shield is good 2

Re: Solar and shade
Hi Joerg,
We installed 500W worth of panels on our bimini - 5 x 100W. We did not have the budget (or eye) for a solar arch.
I designed the system such that each panel has its own charge controller.

Re: Solar and shade
Thanks for the image and thought Joerg
I think the only productive way over the wheel house is again as you’re plan, 1 panel on either side of the boom with separate controllers or both panels
