Jose, I said I don't want to argue. I respect you and your right to your opinion. All I intend to do is to state the other side, which is the "Amel Way." To say anything else, would likely be a

Our SM "It's Good" is sitting in the Severn River, just off of Mobjack Bay for the season, so Jennifer and I could more than likely make it as well. It would be good to meet everyone since we bought

Bill, I cannot see how you can state that you are certain I installed the seals wrongly the first two times when I followed religiously the "amel way" and ended up with water in the C-Drive oil

OK, Jose, we've got a date for two years from now (or 400 hours, or milky oil; whichever comes first!). My reading of the SKF engineer's recommendation was that the inner seal would face the oil and

Danny, Pertaining to this subject, I have just received an email from Flexofold after requesting a quote on a folding prop .I had sent them all the engine and trans specs., and told them that my max

Mike, Have you eliminated the possibility that the leak is freshwater. I am aware of a SM that had a hard grounding that caused a leak between the cast iron ballast and the keel stub, which is the

Jose, We all need to be aware that there are people new to this group. I think I understand to danger of people new-to-Amel not understanding or being misinformed better than most because I have

Ian, I hadn't though about the prop shaft alternator, as I removed mine some time ago (have a genset), but it certainly seems reasonable that the heavier SAE90 oil will present more resistance and

The biggest problem is the main sheet attachment. We've broken two of them becsause of over enthusiatic crew on the mainsheet button My solution : 1. make an aluminium piece of the same thickness but

Ian, The order of the seals is important to make sure they get lubricated. The first and second seals you mount should have the lips facing the propeller and the last facing the transmission.

Mike, I hit a whale doing over 10 Knots down a wave off the Canaries. It stopped us dead. There was no damage to the hull keel joint. I would ask the owner why this repair was necessary. Personally

What is the hull number of that SM? Best, CW Bill Rouse Admiral, Texas Navy Commander Emeritus Amel School www.amelschool.com 720 Winnie St Galveston Island, TX 77550 +1(832) 380-4970

Hi Mike, Congratulations on joining a great group of owners with Amels. Yes, this repair is a bit unusual, as it would take a lot of force to damage this area on an SM. You will need to describe what

Hi Pat. Welcome to the confusion club. Many of us have been there and are the wiser for it. 2800 rpm is the correct under load revs for the Tmd 22. It will cheerfully rev to over 4000 no load.

If the change in the weight of the oil slows the prop shaft, you have engine problems. I am sure you don't have engine problems...you will be fine. Best, CW Bill Rouse Admiral, Texas Navy Commander

Thank you Craig, A truly interesting post. I was interested to see that in your post about the SKF expert he/she states "Finally, I would arrange the seals with 2 facing the water and one facing the

Craig I am waiting in anticipation. Amel Martinique’s replaced mine 2 years ago (but we missed last season’s cruising). However I already had the parts which included a phosphor bronze copy of the

I believe that the SM boom changed during the SM production. A close comparison and accurate measurements need to be made to be assured that one size fits all. Best, CW Bill Rouse Admiral, Texas
