Peter, Below is the spec-sheet of the secondary display I've used. For the primary display I did some modifications as the LCD was very bad. I replaced the LCD and also replaced the glass panel in fro

Peter, This is the schematic diagram with all the parts. Be aware that I have two Furuno course computers and the diagram shows only one as there can only one be active at a given moment. Cheers, Arno

I talked to Furuno and they provided me with the suggested 2.02 software for the AIS transceiver (enclosed). I did the update and it is working again as usual. For the GP150 (Not the DUAL) they are ch

Scott, I paid about 10k $ for everything together. I did however manage to get some of the toys at good prices on eBay. That takes patience. I'm working on the rollover bug (see other thread). There i

Joerg, Did you update the Course computers to the latest firmware. They added a lot of sailboat-stuff in the more recent firmwares. Regards, Arno

Hi Joan, I can tell you what I have done on our 54. Originally our boat came with the Navnet3D system, two 502 Autopilots and the B&G H3000 set. Although the Navnet 3D is not a bad system the power co

Hi Nick, Before starting this experiment, bear in mind that Lithium batteries have dropped in price quite a bit lately. BattleBorn Lithium can be bought at 700 dollar for 12V/100Ah. On Amazon you'll f

Hi Ruedi, Sorry for the late reply. No, my OEM Bosch is still going after my intervention which mainly consisted of painting the thing from the inside and respraying the front panel. But I’m not surpr

Having looked a bit further it seems the Eudora is same as the Minea and the White Knight. My advice is to order spare parts and repair the thing as putting in another dryer may not be a funny exercis

Hi Bertrand, I hope you and your wife are doing well! Later Amels had the Minea drier supplied. This is a (French) private label version of the UK-made White Knight C37AW. You can still buy spare part

Hi Slavo, Keep in mind that Amel is a boat builder and not a parts supplier or a shop. The fact that they supply parts makes them a better boat builder but they do have to charge the logistic costs to

I had the same problem with all the Southco locks a few years back. All of them suffered from two problems, leakage between the housing and the GRP hatch because Amel was a bit too sparse with the Sik

Hi Bill, Yeah I was a bit puzzled by his statements about leaving isolated bronze thru hulls without zinc protection although it is common practice in many European boats. What happens then is that th

Dear Forum, I just spend some time reading this. For those that are in marina's it may complicate the view on the Amel bonding system: https://www.westmarine.com/WestAdvisor/Marine-Grounding-Systems P

Hi Bill (Kinney), In my book the distinction between "professional" and "amateur" is very much different from the distinction between good quality and poor quality. So even if a mechanic works for a b

Bill (Rouse), In my experience many of the so called marine technicians are are one trick ponys. They think because they have seen one installation, they have seen them all. Especially on an Amel this

Hi Paul, I doubt Amel changed the size of the cavity. I ordered the batteries with a fellow 54 owner with a much earlier hull number and he had he same problem. I do know the problem was in the few ce

Hi Paul, Be careful with the size of the Firefly batteries. I did not manage to get 12 batteries in the cavity. I’m not sure how many I now have as I’m not close to the boat but I do know these batter

Hi Bill, If he would have the chiller system, that unit would not carry a fan. So either his fan unit in the saloon is broken or he has the stand alone units. I seem to remember the early 55’s had the

Actually the sensors are Hall-effect sensors. Those plastic covers on your passerelle are non-existent on ours. The big problem is that the water gets to the top of the rotational actuator where the “
