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

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

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

Hi all, Whenever hauling your AMEL fitted with a BRUNTONS AutoProp, one of the first things on the To Do list should be to grease the autoprop. This is because, especially for longer haul-outs, any

Greetings all, Our plastic bin in the forward head is starting to show signs of deterioration, cracking and the foot-pedal fractured. We have looked high and low for a suitable replacement, but to

Yes. Battery connection is the often problem. I’ve experienced the same and changed the compartment.

Hi Nick I will check on Friday, then I will be on the boat. best Peter

Dan, CorrosionX. Enough said. Best, Bill Rouse 720 Winnie St. Galveston, Texas 77550 832-380-4970 My Calendar Yacht School

Thanks Bill, It turns out that it was just poor contacts with the battery. The battery was the first thing that I checked, and then I also tried to check the contact in the battery case, but it was
