Bill, Excellent analysis! Clear, concise, accurate and very logical. Thanks, this is a gentle of a posting! Best, CW Bill Rouse Admiral, Texas Navy Commander Emeritus Amel School

I’m very happy with my MaxProp. It’s not as persnickety as the AutoProp about growth. I service it at every bottom paint job when I change the shaft seals and WOB. They make a model that can be

I did some studying when I was buying a prop for my previous Beneteau 361. I found that selecting the type of folding prop depended on the objective. If it is to reduce drag while sailing the

Yes, Amel overpitched the prop on the Volvo on purpose. Volvo suggested that one of several reasons that you might want to restrict the top speed of the engine was "reduced noise." I don't know

Craig, I will check it out, they all sound good according to their propaganda . But which is the best,how do you know. Yachting Monthly did a prop test, but then that was brought into question.

Hi Pat, Just to add a couple of points to your cogimatations, you can adjust the Max Prop pitch to what you prefer, fine tuning as necessary as you go. You may also want to check out the AutoStream by

Craig, You interpreted my point as intended. I did not read your last post before I answered it with a long explanation, but hopefully, it helps in the discussion. Particularly in reducing the

WOB problems, I am wondering what grease is being used by those who are having problems with leaking WOBs. I have never had a problem. For 7 years the Amel people in Hyeres took care of my

Bill, Thank you for your detailed reply. If I understand you correctly and correct me if I am wrong, Amel purposely over pitched my fixed prop to restrain it from attaining higher rpms and Volvo is

Craig and Eric, What I call the lip is spring side of the seal. In other words, in my experimental configuration, the orientation of inner (next to the C-Drive) and middle seals was with the spring

Pat, It is totally "normal" when picking a prop for a diesel engine to do exactly as Felxofold suggests. You pick a propeller that allows the engine to turn its full rated RPM at full throttle.

Hello fellow Amel owners, I purchased a complete set of injectors that were supposed to fit my Perkins 4.154 based on my engine serial number which is GA 10002 J 00298 N. The injectors are new

Wow, all this "facing in and out" is confusing, and I may have misread your post, if, perhaps, you were trying to see if Jose's nomenclature actually matched the Amel way. However, "Facing in" in

Eric, Since you gave me some hints on my first C-DRIVE service and Gary Silver provided me with written instructions, I would like to share this. In my personal experience with SM 387 and with over 40

I had flexofold suggest a prop and pitch that would allow the engine reach its max rpm , in my case 4500 . I now just read on the Max prop website , that their prop would also allow the engine to

Hi Ruedi, Do you have the Bose entertainment? I had a leak and disconnected things one by one. I found the leak was the salon TV. Disconnected the TV from the system and have not had any current leaks

Hi all, I also see this. I connect my laptop headphone socket to the onboard stereo aux input and found that this is the culprit. Cheers, Paul Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98

It's the ground wires you need to disconnect one by one until you find the source. The equipment that is grounded is generally equipment that is in contact with salt water and it is salt water leaks

Hi everyone I do have the same strange behaviour with the 24V negative leak. Sorry, I’m late with my response because I was not on WASABI and tried to trace down last few days. I found a leak at

If you will see in my note to miles. Amel suggested either 3-8 mm lip seals or 2-12 mm lip seals. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376’
