Re: A54 bilge pump problems...
Chris,
The most common issue with this pump is a vacuum side leak. I am sure this is what you have. Usually, no leaking water is visible with a vacuum leak large enough to stop the pump from

A54 bilge pump problems...
Hello,
I recently have been having issues with my "bilge" pump on my Amel 54. The pump is the original from TF Marine. I first noticed a problem that the motor sounded different, hard to describe

Hi Eric,
Sorry for the late reply. Your email got lost in the shuffle.
I hope it is not too late yet.
I will send you a check tomorrow. If it is too late just destroy my check.

Re: Any SM owners use a Beta engine??
Thanks Dan, I have sent those photographs to the fitter. He really seems now to have got on top of this job so I am more confident that it will go well.
I can see that you have moved the fuel filter

Re: Replacing standing rigging - advice for other jobs?
Trey,
We replaced our VHF last year and our AIS antenna on the mizzen this year. Cables replaced with both. BIG BIG difference compared to the original 12 year old antenna. The original Banten

Re: ONAN replacement or not?
Amel installed Mastervolt Gel Batteries.
Not my preference, but I had few options. AMEL’s Lithium upgrade is $40,000 USD. Too dear for our purse!

Re: ONAN replacement or not?
As Scott says, the lithium profile holds many potential advantages, particularly for longer term cruisers. The one disadvantage in my mind is that they are too lightweight for the Amel 54 and maybe SM

Re: ONAN replacement or not?
Alex,
If I were you, I'd save the money on a new genset and put it into a good sized lithium bank. My experience is the same as others where I rarely use my genset despite using around 200-250AH a day
