Graham, I am not 100% sure about your hull number, but I am sure that later model SMs used Vetus K50 for the engine (4) and for the C Drive (2). Here is a photo of the Vetus coupling donuts from a SM.

Hello A guest on board switched my ignition off whilst motoring. Trying to be helpful. The engine kept running but I only noticed a few mins later when I spotted the instruments were off My

Hi Bill Thanks for the detailed advice. I think using the Beta mounts was a mistake. Can you recommend the vetus or other manufacturers' mounts that are suitable for supporting the metal frame. The

Thank you to all of you who have put up replies to my questions, all most useful and have given me a positive direction in which to head. I have no doubt this issue will be easily resolved once my

Hi all: The other day one of my Amel original Compact 9 ACs started short cycling and I checked the Calpeda pump and found it was not running. First thing to check in this failure mode was the run

Miles, Glad to hear it worked out for you. But, it is a shame they putyou through the wringer rather than just tell you up front what their issue wasspecifically regarding. With best

Hello Olivier, thank you very much for your hint. We asked AMEL for the rubber mounts. Seems like if they can deliver them. The only thing we still didn‘t figure out is how the central big rubber is

Hi Miles, I am so happy that you were re-insured. I found it odd as they said they would be renewing my policy and not yours, however I always dealt direct. Fair Winds, Eric

Hello Group, For a change, I have some good news. I had told the group that Pantaenius was not renewing my insurance and several of you gave me good advice in the frustrating search I have been on

The "C" drive is in two assemblies: the upper unit (that is coupled to the engine transmission) weighs, I would estimate, about 80 pounds. Below the gearbox of this upper unit is what I recall

For those intending to summer in Trinidad:

Hello Frederic, these mounts were custom made by AMEL, from a home made steel frame and 6 rubber mounts with machine screw (steel). The steel parts are probably in good condition. What you need to

I did a couple of mine a few years ago now. I just took the the whole lot to an engineering shop. There is a big round rubber inside that square.

hi Graham, I can't answer your questions on the C drive, but if the Beta is 80kg heavier I would look at the issue of different mounts that you mention. Ian and Judy, Pen Azen, SM 302 Greece

Hello everyone, hello amelowners, we are new to this group and have a problem with our Mango, we want to change our engine bearings on the Perkins 4.236 because they are still the first ones and the

I have just had a new Beta 60 fitted to my SM no 140. Everything is just great, performance exactly the same if not better than the old Volvo, with one exception. There is a very slight vibration

Thanks for that recco Thomas. We are in the market for replacements also. It looks like a simple decision to me, unless the challenge was trying to agree on which finish Henri would have chosen

This was probably the most difficult sourcing project ever for me on SM 422. I spent hours and hours but settled on the simplehuman 4.5 liter round waste bin. It looks nicer than the old plastic one
