We do the same as Porter however we did not recover our cushions we just leave them on the deck all the time we’re on the boat great place for people like good breezes great views Cheers Courtney

Stefan. We were in the same position about eight months ago – all these beautiful cushions seemed to do was take up space! However my wife, being the ingenious one, suggested we cover the cushions

Hi Gary, thanks for setting the record straight that it was you, not Danny who first installed the membrane flush timer. My mistake. Congrats on your retirement! Kent S/V Kristy SM243

Hi all: In my early years of ownership of Liahona (Amel SM #335, purchased new July 2001), I would faithfully pickle the membranes with Sodium Metabisulfite (SMB). Since I was working back then I

Others have posted a belief that treating the membranes can damage the metal parts. Is it Sodium Metabisulfite that is the culprit? Because of these postings, I have had someone check on Kristy once

Duane, SOG is the manufacturer (SO Giant Oil Seal Co, Taiwan - a major supplier) and I'd guess whoever got that spare erred in getting one without a totally embedded metal insert. SKF is another

Duane, I purchased my 60x80x12 oil seal for the bowthruster tunnel here:

Hi, A package (dose) is 100 gram. You did wise buying the stuff in bulk. Desallator charges about 5 times more for the same quantity. Regards, Arno SV Luna, A54-121

No news so far. But Olivier told me, there are 4 (not 3) compartments, means 4 accesses. Good to know and not motivating :-). Best regards Stefan A54 / 119 / LADY CHARLYETTE / La Rochelle

Dear AMEL Group/ Owners, I want to sell my sunbed cushions/ upholstery for the sun deck (above the aft cabin) on my AMEL 54 - seen on the pictures. They are in a very good condition, like new. I

Duane, I use 30ml Sodium Metabisulphite in 7.2l water (1 bucket). Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98

Hi Duane, That sounds about right, we use 100g give or take a bit and it always seems to work OK. Cheers Alan Elyse Sm437

Hi Tom, If you wish you could pick up a mooring at the Huntington Yacht Club. It would be a nice place to overnight on your way to Southold Please contact me at Kimberlite@... we could get together

Hi Eric, We are hanging out at Liberty Landing for three days. Doing the NYC thing. We will be coming up into LI Sound to visit friends in Southold, then up to Boston. Hope to get back to Martinique

The large lip seal that is glued in from inside and seals the thruster vertical shaft is marked "SOG 60 80 12". The one I had in my spares has rusted along the outer ring where the plastic has gaps

I have the Duo60 watermaker, and we're getting ready to leave the boat for 3 months in Grenada. I planned on sterililzing the watermaker with Sodium Metabisulfite (SM). I also have the sterilizing

Hi Tom, Kimberlite is in Huntington. Do you ever get out this way? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi Joel; this may explain my problem. I got a new wheelcover from Amel for the standard SM wheel. Did not fit.It was clearly made for a smaller diameter wheel. When we were at Amel in La Rochelle I

We did it 2014 in the Carabbien and it still looks as new. Our first attempt was with a withe rope, that was not a good idea, changed very fast to this black one. This is taken

Thanks to all for your suggestions for wheel enhancements. I’m torn between ordering a leather kit from boat leather, versus proceeding along the lines of Annsofie’s decorative braiding. Annsofie,
