John, Glad what I heard was true ,that you are virus free. The economic cost here in the US. is going to be felt for decades as well. I passed thru Wellington probably 30 years ago on my way to the

Hello, We are also in Thailand, anchored next to Yacht Haven. You can also watch my video about rebuilding the bow thruster..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-xWzNfnWLw&t=209s Ken

A nice problem to have.....your lithium install working so well that the genset is a back up system. Agree with Mohammed on the genset during passages; there is obviously a good reason Amel recommends

Danny, You can understand my confusion,knowing your athletic prowess ,it was easy for me to envision you with a hose between your teeth climbing to the top of the mast .Don't know if it is true,but

Hi Pat, yes I did refer to flushing a swivel at the top but meant the one that is at the top when the sail is hoisted. I don't recall the exact wording of my post but it should have included dropping

Actually, the furled sail serves the purpose, most of the time.

Bill ,Did not know that ,I always assumed that there was something there to keep the foil centered,of course the swivel serves that purpose when the sail is hoisted. Live and learn. Thanks, Pat

I bought a yacht half a year ago. I have not yet ordered specific parts for repairs. Thank you! I wrote to this email

Sav@.... Is where you order spareparts that are Amel specific, as the bowthruster are. State thouroughly what it is you need and don’t forget boat model and hull number Regards Ann-Sofie

Does anyone know where I can buy or order with delivery a spare part for the bow thruster? my boat is amel super maramu 2000. i'm currently in thailand

Hi Doug We are on Dusk 6 boats down from you sent you a pm. willing to help if we can regards steve Dusk sm378

Danny, I thought you once before suggested in a previous post to flush a swivel at the top of the mast, and I assumed there must be a swivel at the very top of the mast to keep the foil centered ,but

Yes Pat that is the one I was referring to Regards Danny

Hi Mark, I think if you look closely, you'll see that the 4 connections are in pairs, so electrically it only has two. I imagine the order doesn't matter as long as the wires are attached to

Here are some shots from when I was working on my 24 V pump earlier this year:

Hi Everyone, I did something a little bit stupid. When working in theengine room, I pressed against the 24v pump for the fresh water maker. When Idid, the two wires pulled away from the solenoid

Hi Scott; It is nice to hear you have had such success with the conversion to Lithium. We will be doing the same in the next battery change. I would consider running the generator periodically
