Hi Jose, Chain size. May be either 10 mm or 3/8 inch gypsy. You need to check. Good idea to take the gypsy with you when you go to buy the chain. Check for wear on the gypsy, that may be why it skips

I am getting ready to replace my current anchor chain. The chain that was installed by the yard 7 years ago tends to jump when enough force is made by the windlass, which I imagine is because is not

I think that nowadays they can be printed in stainless steel at a reasonable price, particularly if there are enough parts made. I will be in the market for two units and be willing to put whoever

My apologies if this sort of post is too off-topic. We're preparing to leave the Bahamas for the Dominican Republic. They have some pretty restrictive allowances for "boat stores" which we exceed by

Thanks, Teun. I will try to confirm this with Volvo. Cheers Joerg

Hi Arno, I was discussing this issue in person with two A54 owners this morning. It seems that their spare bushings don't have the holes for the long bolts. Maybe there's a design difference. If I

Hi All, we are also in a situation wanting to check out a Amel , We had to sell our last center cockpit boat due to my wifes back issues, and would love a opportunity for her to scramble around a

Thas seem to be a very clever tool to have. I’m guessing it’s something Amel added to the standard delivery when the A55 was introduced. Can anyone discover a part number for this tool? I’d like

Arlo, I did mine some years ago. I found solid rubber stripping about 10mm X 20mm from a rubber supply shop.

Hi Ian and Judy, I also use the same filter that you specified. I use 2 micron filters in the racor with no problems. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi Eric , You’re right . When we bought Pen Azen we had Amel fit a big truck filter in line with the diesel intake . In the starboard cockpit locker we have a cock in the diesel hose which allows

Dear Ahmet; How are you? I might be interested in your instruments as spare parts for mine… I will call you from your GSM See you Regards; Seckin Barlas SY HAYAT

Hi Erik, I am not on the boat now. From memory the fuel exits the bottom of the tank directly to the Racors but There is no valve on a lower sump. I could drain off the Racor filter very easily. I

Hi Nick, On Kimberlite the tank drains from the bottom. Is it different on the 54? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Thanks, everybody! I'll clear those drain holes at the bottom of the companionway board box when I get back to the boat (say THAT 10 times fast). Going to make a "Gary Flapper", too! -Bode

Thanks for the feedback. So the general consensus is that additional polishing is not required as the Racor primary filter plus engine filter is fine. So long as one takes the usual precautions. In

It’s bronze - but it has a silver shine to it. There was heavy wear on the bushing when I took it out after 750 hours. Both the old bushing from 2016 and the new spare i just received have the

Hello all. I am re-coating the inside of my lockers with gelcoat. While doing this, I am looking to also replace the rubber gaskets on the forward and aft lockers as well as the cockpit lockers.

Thanks for the story and the photo Jorge, I also have the tools, but in the excitement of delivery, neglected to label them. John Devereux Amel 55, No. 65
