Matt, This thread has nothing to do with the BT on your Amel 50. It is completely different and you will not have the issue being discussed here. This issue can happen on a SN or SM. Best, CW Bill

Good to know ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Mat, It depends on how much heat is applied and you can certainly damage GRP with a heat gun. This is the reason I would never say to carefully use a heat gun, nor would I say enough heat.

Bill, Would a heatgun provide enoughheat without affecting the FRP? ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

We are in Martinique with a possible deal pending and looking at Amels. If anyone is considering any boats here, and would like some info, we would be happy to pass it along. Kelly and Darren ISPA

Bernd, You should be very, very careful with heat because the Bow Thruster Tube and case is made of GRP, not metal. The contact point is Cast Iron to the GRP tube. The problem is a result of NOT

A little heat? ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Hi ! I had the same problem ... You need a lot of patience, mutch WD40 and patience, do not forcing, do not break the threads, the contact is bronze on stainless ... I needed 2

Scott, I believe that will work fine. Amel used "sail bolt" line. I am not sure why, but it was probably a decision of the sail subcontractor. As far as I know, Amel chose to never use metal

What are you all using to lash your sail heads/foots/clews? The previous owner put a stainless shackle on the Genoa swivel and then attached the head to that. Of course, stainless + aluminum resulted

Dominique, I agree with what most of the others have said here. It is highly unlikely that the cable itself is the problem. It is way more likely to be a loose, corroded, or damaged termination on

Anybody have the diode part number and a US source for the diodes? Seems like they are a popular enough problem with the Yanmar to merit carrying a spare. Bob and Suzanne, KAIMI is on the hard in

Altogether there are 15 diodes. -- Gerhard Mueller Amel Sharki #60 Currently Kalamata, Greece

We were in La Rochelle, looking at our boat being built (#27), in July. We spoke with the marketing director:Amel sailed it across a few months ago. They kept it in Mamaroneck, NY. They plan to show

Wow cool. Is Amel going to set up a US based service center?

Agree as well. I have had experiences with venders that was good and bad requiring explaination. No we shouldn't wontonly black list vendors without cause, and some discussion would be enlightening

Hi Dominique, I would first check that the battery connector at the starter motor is clean. I would also check The Valeo solenoid to see if it has clean connections both the battery cable and the

Hi Kent, My engine has 2 diodes. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

Wow! I’ve had, maybe 3 connections, over the years, that I was investigating due to poor performance fridge, pump, light), where the termination was hot enough to ignite the surroundings.

Hi I am happy Tom found the problem before it became a big one. I added a 32A galvanic isolator in the aft lazarette, so the setup is complete. It is very handy having the rotary selection switch
