Hi Scott, On my SM#23, the pole is threaded at the end and the eye fitting is screwed onto it. This allows for proper orientation and positioning of the eye so it can mount correctly with the vertical

I can confirm that the heat works without the water pump circulating. Will sleep warm to night. Thank you all.

Hi Mike, If you have electric coil heating on your units, the water flow should not run. If you have reverse cycle heating and air, the salt water pump should only run when one the compressors is

As these things go, it's never as simple as you expect. Someone worked on it and tried to rotate the internal cable, with the toggle eye on the end. I surmise they rotated it multiple revolutions.

Hi Mike, I believe on Kimberlite the water pump only runs when the compressor is on. I would check it on your boat. Unfortunately I am not on Kimberlite at the moment. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel

Hello Mike, in the SM2000 (starting october 1998), the A/C compact units compressors are cooled with seawater. The pump starts whenever one of the units is turned on cooling mode. But when these A/C

Quick question. In the SM circa 1999, water is pumped through the three air handling units in both cooling and heating mode even though the heating mode is resistance. Is there a way, or would it be

Another great option, thanks. This one is made for boats, so theoretically should be sturdy. Do you find it more comfortable than the original seat? I never found it to be particularly comfortable

Bill, You never cease to amaze me - thank you very much. I will get it copied hopefully for less than the asking price of USD 319. Great - that’s progress. Best wishes to you and Judy Peter Peter

Hi we replaced all our plastic Genoa plugs last year. I had to cut about two millimetre off each one as they were too long. I used a Stanley knife which cut through them easily. Cleaning out the holes

Peter, That is the antisiphon plumbing for your Onan. It is different on a 54 than a SM. This used part on eBay may work for you, but you need to verify dimensions:

There is only one surveyor in the world that I recommend and that is Olivier Beaute. The following surveyor is, I believe, the only surveyor located in Antigua. I know that he has surveyed 2

I replaced the original Amel seat with a seat from Todd. It fits well and looks pretty good. I use the 655341 seat with the 650772 mounting plate both from Todd and reused the original pedestal

Scott, I redrilled the holes in the plate to fit the new chair bottom. It is quite strong, and I carry a spare chair. Jamie Phantom, A54 #44

 Amelians, I also seek a replacement for this three way junction in the roof of the engine room above the hot water tank on the port side. I have mended it with some exhaust pipe tape several

Hello Bill, I am also very interested in this PVC manifold.May be, we could use the free valve in the A 54 to regularly flush the system with fresh water. This would prevent the formation of organisms

Aquarius was fitted with new plugs on the Genoa Track, used 5200. Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phe2_3JAji0 About 12:58 minutes is where it shows the new plugs. I am happy with them, they
