Hello, I just changed the brake pads on our boat and noticed on your video the forward arm of the brake appears to be contacting the mounting plate of the brake assembly. Reference the attached photo

An alternative connection scheme: I ran into this problem when changing over to the new Bamar about 7 months ago. After several conversations with Paul and him communicating with Bamar’s engineers an

I looked into the oil requirement for a new to us Amel with a Dessalator 160, CAT 277 pump, early last year. The CAT manual recommends an ISO 68 hydraulic oil. I believe this is a 30 wt. oil. I would

Glad you have your pump working. Would you have the part number of the motor brushes or the physical dimensions and a photo. I would like to find a source for these parts. Thanks.

Could you specify the four errors you identified on the Delos video for anyone that is still just marginally Amel challenged? Thanks.

In the information you provided on August 6 you mentioned that your water maker outputs approximately 80 LPH consuming 600 W. We have the Dessalator 160 which is 220 V only. When operating it is spece
