I use never seize only on the shaft for the mainsail outhaul. I grease it every 6 months. Never seize is more like an anti- corrosive. It is advertised as a lubricant. I believe they also say it

Hello to all Amel owners. I own a SM 2000, Wanderer hull number 283, launched in 2000. Can someone give me information about the windlass?, type, size etc My boat is through the process of being put

That's an excellent tip, Bill. Do you know if the same logic applies to the genoa car controls? Those things appear to be unique to Amel, but they are the same basic design as the

Hi Kent, Many thanks for your offer. That's a great service! With some pictures and the measurement it will help me already totally for my changing cockpit cover project. Philipp
