Hello again: there are three main wires to the headsail furling motor on Flora. Two of these are connected by normal threaded post connection and the third is simply hard connected to the internals of

Hello Mike, I would like to RSVP for your maintenance forum at the show. Please let me know when and where! Thank you, Charles SV Saturn Mango #29

Yep: good idea!...hopefully we will get down to the Flora over the next few days and will do as you suggest, Vladimir -- Adam Body "Flora" SM128 Annee 1994

Hi Mike, The genuine timing belt kit which include the tensions and idle pully I bought from Keypart Ltd for 156.70 UKP. I think it’s prudent to change the pulley’s for that small amount given the

Polyurethane is best as long as its not constantly exposed to direct sun. We finished our cabin in polyurethane. Works very well..... ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Aletes would like to host an Amel maintenance/repair forum on board either Thurs or Friday afternoon of Boat Show week. The idea would be to share everyone’s experiences with some of the unique

Hi Mike, I changed my Volvo belts some time ago and the mechanic recommended to change the other parts in the system too. So we did. Be very careful for the following detail: on my engine, there is a

Volvo powered owners, In contemplating the replacement of the timing belt, I note that, for example, Parts4Engines packages the timing belt along with the tensioner and idler. I could not find in the

Yes, if 20 liters is applied perfectly, it will be very close to 3 complete coats. This happened only one time for me when Manoel Island Boat Yard in Malta and their BEST painter, Alex & his uncle,

Thanks Bill, I will apply this quantity next. Regards Paul

Thanks very much for every one’s thoughts! Joerg Esorn

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

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
