Hi Mitchell, Were you able to go through the pictures in the "C-Drive - Technical " photo album? You'll see my unit with the fairing material cut away. That exposes the cover plate on the front of the

Hello I just bought an Amel Maramu in Martinique and am selling my Rafiki 37 in San Diego. I have a new Monitor Windvane and am thinking I should transfer it to the Maramu. Scanmar of Monitor says

It has come to my attention that I made a mistake when I represented that all the Amel boats built after 2006 have the desired spun cotton/felt backing on the vinyl overhead instead of the

Hi all, My main furler appears to have a rubber “plug” fitted inside the driving hub such that the lower bolt goes through this and only the upper bolt goes through the foil. See attached

Thanks Craig, also was it difficult knowing where to cut the GRP on the lower unit? Are there any bolts I need to undo within the lower unit to remove the prop shaft? Did you resin the piece back you

Danny Yes, we have instructed our listing agent in London to take the advert down next week. She is no longer for sale. These are great boats and fast becoming classics now, and in our case, Island

Hi there Our Maramu has a Raymarine type 2 with a hole cut into the door through which it protrudes. It works well and looks ok I find the noise of the autopilot rather tiresome though so use a

Hello Mohammed & Any, We’ve seen and rode in an OCT tender. A very sound dinghy with many desirable features sailors appreciate. We did a long comparative ride in varying sea state conditions; both

Hello Thomas; Thanks for the info. Do you have Alex’s contact information? Do you know if he has the 310 or the 340? Happy Sailing; Mohammad and Aty B&B Kokomo AMEL 54 #099

Hi Colin. Re the sale of Island Pearl. I am not surprised. I looked for any exuse not to sell Ocean Pearl. The reality is they are the most robust and easiest to sail boat available. (In my humble

What I didn’t make clear in previous text was that the 3x12.00$ pump relays effectively replaces the expensive and unreliable frigoboat pump controller. So a good, reliable and inexpensive option to

Hi Scott Thanks again for the tips. The alternator will be my next step after some local testing yes. We are away from the boat down in Sydney for a week, but the Lithium install went perfectly on
