Hallo Wolfgang, Vielen dank fur diese Tip. I habe die Bestellung gemacht. Gruss, Arno

Hi Thomas, Actually I found out the very same thing when I replaced the chain counter. Mine was getting pretty bad with the the LCD readout. So when I replaced it I found the same issue. One of those

Dear forum, Does anyone have drawings, pictures or other information on how the cables are routed into the mizzen and main masts of a A54 and how to access the cables for the mizzen? One of the things

Actually the pressure regulation is not in the oilfilter. It sits at the bottom of the block in the the housing of the oil cooler as far as I can see on the drawing. This regulator may be stuck. Can't

Not pretending to know anything about SSB, I was told the triatic stay is not very suitable for SSB transmissions due to its orientation. Does anyone know where the antenna for the AM/FM radio lives?

Hi Teun, About the switches. As far as I know the replacement was changing the original Lewmar switches with Harken switches. Easy to see as it says so on the switch. On our Amel this was done, all sw

Yeah, Luna has the weatherfax as well. So I'm guessing there is a antenna cable between the nav-station and the mizzen mast. Although the reception of this thing seems quite sketchy. The pictures I ge

As you all know Amel recommends using a locking pin on the bowthruster when making passage. Although good advice not always practical as you need to open the cover in the sail locker. If that thing is

Thomas, I'm pretty sure the antenna on top of the mizzen is for the AIS transceiver. A dedicated AIS antenna should not live next to a VHF antenna and ideally should be in a different horizontal plane

You are confronted with the poor design of an otherwise very nice piece of hardware on your boat. To set off frightening you first. The repair of my passarelle was about 14k $. Still there? The good n

Hi Danny, The electro-hydraulic passerelle uses a rotational actuator very much like the one in this picture. It uses hydraulic pressure to move the disc in the middle to go up and down. There is a so

Hi Carina, You were very fortunate. Our actuator was seized up so bad that the whole workshop of FKG hydraulics here in St. Maarten found no way to disassemble the thing. I suppose if there is still s

Hj Greg, The actuator is pure hydraulic/mechanical. It has two oil connectors. Push oil in one and the thing rotates in one direction, pushing oil from the other connection. Reversal by putting pressu

Hi Martin, I'm not sure. I found this reference on the estimate I got from FKG: "Rotating Actuator OpacMare Passerelle:1849.26.02.24" So this may on may not be the Opacmare number. Cheers, Arno Luijte

Hi Mohammad, Careful with that idea. The cables for the inverter go to the secondary side of the battery switches but the charger cables go to the primary side. If you run them in parallel without cha

Hi Teun, What a strange place to have this Inverter. I vaguely remember this was the spot where Amel would put the isolation transformer if that was requested. As Mohammad said before the "normal" pla

Hi Brent, Funny. I did exactly what you described and came up with nothing. Good to know that the search function can be a bit funny at times. Regards, Arno Luijten SV Luna, A54-121

Hi Mohammad, Consider the Mastervolt, power derating only starts at 40 C (Mass Combi Pro). Don't get me wrong I don't really like Mastervolt as a company but they do turn out some solid products. The

Hi Mohammad, By the way, adding/replacing cables between the battery compartment and the engine room is very difficult. Amel sealed the duct between the two compartments with epoxy. This duct sits in
