On Amelia I have demoted the Beugel to port side second anchor and now have a Spade 160 as the main anchor. Note that on the starboard side I have installed an extra roller to keep the chain from

Re: Watermaker motor
Thanks for your input.
Before taking the motor out I removed one of the brushes and the armature seemed pretty dirty so I cleaned that up and it is working at the moment, probably could do with a set

Re: ONAN Generator not starting
I know this is an old thread, but it serves to indicate how useful this forum is.
I had the issue of the Onan not cranking over the last few days.

Re: A54 seawater pump for anchor washing
Mark is is absolutely correct, and this applies to the one-way valve on the SM, 54, & 55 AC pump...you need it and it needs to work. Also, if you happen to replace the diaphragm anchor wash pump with

Re: Amel is going lithium
Colin,
Good to hear from you! It's amazing we're now so far apart given we were nearly next to each other just a few months ago.
That's great that you have so much generation capacity. So you can run

Re: Hi Gary on Adagio
Eric,
I'll be in the Chesapeake until around late October. I'm planning on seeing the A50 at the Annapolis show. Any plans to head to the show or the Caribbean after?

The primary anchor on our A54 is a 33kg Rocna. This anchor was installed on the boat when we purchased it. The Rocna has set first time every time for us and the prior owner had literally been

Re: A54 seawater pump for anchor washing
The non-return valves or check valves are important. These valves prevent air from being pulled backward through a non–operating piece of equipment into the common seawater distribution manifold.

Re: “Default” anchor arrangement on an Amel 54
Not all stainless reel is equal. 316 is much more corrosion resistant than 304. It’s difficult to find 316 bolts and nuts.

Re: Battery nightmare
Very similar experience in the BVIs about four years ago. Two of the 8 batteries boiled out.
Luckily we were docked and I got them ashore quickly but after 6 hours they were still hot and bubbly,

Re: “Default” anchor arrangement on an Amel 54
Hi All,
I have never been a fan of anchor swivels, having seen them come apart on other boats. If I were to fit one I would buy it from a commercial fisherman's chandlery and make it oversize.

Re: Main electrical switch for Meltem
The diagrams I have might be for the Sharki but I guess they are similiar to other Amels as well of this age.
The switch positions are here noted as
- A = All Off
- B = Normal (at Sea)
- C = Security

Re: “Default” anchor arrangement on an Amel 54
Just another bit of experience.
The shaft on my Spade anchor bent. It is easily replaceable, but it is hollow ( part of the design to keep lots of weight in the lead filled tip). I’m using a Rocna
