Willem, When we replaced bow thruster parts in Fiji last year, Amel told us this : -Bowthruster mechanism (see photo): the parts composing this mechanism cannot be sold separately as everything is

Ouch ! I have seen stanchions / lifelines damaged on boats that had "stuff" lashed to them after tough up wind passages. Our SSB tuner is not in the lazarette, nor do we have power supplies or outlets

James, I have an asymmetric spy on a top-down furling RollGen 20 by Bamar. Spy dimensions: Luff=17.07mtr Leech=15.4 mtr Foot=7.9mtr SMG=7.105mtr I have enjoyed it for more than 6 years with the main

Nick again, I have to admit though that it is probably going to be a service that will not survive the internet. It is free to the user and paid for by presumably various government agencies. This

Love my weather fax but it depends where. Across the North Atlantic, Halifax Nova Scotia pumped out great charts as did UK. In the Med it is a different story. Nick Amelia in Corfu AML 54-019

We went tjr Portaboat route. We have a 8hp two stroke and also have inflatable dinghy dogs for it so it is extremely stable and we can snorkle off the sides. All in all it is the dinghy I hate the

Steve, I do not know what you mean by the "bow thruster breathing pipe." Photo? Some thoughts: Are the 2 bow lockers completely sealed at the bottom and sides? Is the original "D" profile gasket/seal

Hi All. We have just purchased a sm 2000 (378). The previous owner has had a small issue of water in the bow locker not a lot just one or two cups. We have tried to find any leaks by sealing

I've since wrapped a piece of bright tape around the lever and have a similarly bright zip-tie, without being snipped, to help show the way to the shutoff lever. I know the topic's old but wanted to

haha!

Joel, Totally agree. And, foredeck storage is good when you are stern-to in a marina. Best, CW Bill Rouse Yacht School - Supporting Amel Owners 720 Winnie St Galveston Island, TX 77550 +1(832)

If your bow thruster needs shims, it is the first time I have heard of this issue. How much oil was in the bow thruster when the overhaul was done and the bow thruster reinstalled? What type of oil

Another 2 cents… If you can smell the aroma of gasoline, it is explosive. As Mark said, the SSB tuner is NOT a spark or arc proof unit and it says so on the installation instructions. It is not

Thanks to all for your time in replying. The rear small cockpit lockers are vented or at least a drain hole in the bottom. Port side cockpit locker will fit my 6 gal yamaha tank that came with the

It helps tremendously Joerg. Sounds like I need both! -James

Mark, I also agree with you, I sometimes see some small amount of leakage of gas from tanks due to heat and expansion and would never store gas below for the reason you stated . I store my tanks far

Bill, I agree with you, we have not needed to use our dinghy to propel us yet,but review how we would do that,in case we need to deploy in an emergency. I also have rescued a sailboat just before it

I often see world cruisers with cans lashed to stanchions. Itseems many of the boats on which I observe this have a set up not as solid asAmel. I have never once heard of a large wave causing damage

Mine has never worked. I use Iridium and have an old iridium phone as backup. But...before we cross the Pacific I’m going to get the SSB and Weatherfax working and learn how to use it in case the

Dear Amelians, After installing a new kit with gears and bearings from Amel last October and after using the bow thruster not more than 12 times the gears are worn out like in October. The diagnosis
