Mike, Rigging wire does not usually fail. The rigging usually fails at the fittings. Beside magna fluxing or x raying You do not know what is going on inside the fitting. Gaetan’s head rigger

Bill, When a rigger uses inch size wire they also wind up using inch fittings. That includes the clevis pins. The USA ones are slightly larger so the chain plates and many other things have to be

Alex, Did you look at the ground connection on the old board. On mine it was very slightly tarnished. I cleaned it up an I was back in action. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi all, As you may know from my previous messages on this list, I've replaced all 3 of my Climma control systems with new third-party ones. I'd like the removed parts to find a new life rather than

Bill, I just had Kimberlite re-rigged by Gaetan in Martinique. They do Amels all the time. When I was there ,69 Amels on the Pontons Gaeta’s chief rigger has been rigging Amels for 25 years.

Does anyone know anything about Haiti? Is it safe? How about International Relief Group? He puts boats with supplies headed for the islands, now dealing with Irma/Marie relief. Anybody have any

Happy New Year! Can anyone confirm that SM hatches are Goiot "Tradition"? Thanks Kent SM 243 Kristy

Pat, If you visit ACMO's website you'll find they make their own fittings - ACMO stands for Modern Casting in French. They then fabricate rigging and architectural cables using outsourced cable,

Pat, I do not know where ACMO buys their wire, or if they make it. Actually, I feel like I don't really know much about rigging wire, except for two things that Ii am certain about: Trust OEM parts

Hi Pat, We had Pen Azen rerigged in Hyeres last year by the riggers that Amel always use there. They bought all the turnbuckles from ACMO but not the wire. They bought it direct from a German

Sage advice!

I believe there is a spring loaded pressure relief valve that regulates oil pressure. Similar in purpose as the wastegate on the turbo. As oil pressure increases and reaches the setpoint the

Bill, Does Acmo manufacture wire themselves or are they a distributor of wire ? Their website does not indicate they are a manufacturer of wire , seemed more they supplied rigging . From what

I can second Bill R. I had my 1990 SM rerigged in Martinique by Gaetan last year. There was a waiting list, mostly Amels. He was fast and used ACMO hardware. My cost in euros was just a tad over

Aletes SM#240 1999 is also facing the re-rigging decision. Various people and sources on internet search suggest wire rigging service life of 16, 12, or even 6 years. Most recommendations are by those

Dear Amelians, I had to buy a new PCB board for my ONAN generator which finally seems to work fine for more than just a couple days... I kept my old board, hoping to find someone who knows how to
