Hi Paul, Will Stout from SM Anni Bea True is anchored 100 yards off my bow here in St Martin. His email is wstout@mac dot com, and you should be able to text him at 206-841-9556. I'll let him know you

Hi Bill, Congratulations on your new boat. Where are you planning to head with the boat when you get things sorted out? We are currently in St Martin, and surrounded by 3 other Amels...Jet Lag, Anni B

Hi JP, Our boat has the Fakir Hobby TR model installed. We contacted the manufacturer, as we needed some knobs, and they do not support our model any longer. With that said, they have a model on there

I think of this forum as a team. We're all trying to do the best job we can taking care of the boats we love, the boats that take such good care of us. In that regard, we're all in this together. As w

Hi Paul, We have 3 140 watt Kyocera panels on our arch made by Emek Marine. On a sunny day, we see about 14+ amps coming in with the sun directly overhead. Our panels are wired in series, and running

Eric, We purchased The Emek arch, and had it installed on the boat by November 2014. Overall, we have been pleased with the arch, but will give you a little food for thought. We paid $3953 in US dolla

Hello Dominique, I installed a Mastervolt 24/100/3 charger on my SM a little more than a year ago. It failed with the same symptoms as yours near the end of a nine day Passage to Puerto Rico. Mastervo

It is certainly not a good sign that we are seeing identical failures in Mastervolt chargers, and if I had to do it over again, I might choose differently. With that said, I have had excellent custome

Hi Eric, I saw you were in Guadeloupe and was hoping we would catch up with you. We left Deshaies this morning along with Rascal (SM40?), and are anchored near Pigeon Island for a couple of days of di

Bill, Thanks for the info on the marina, as it will save us a few bucks. We are having the same issue with our coupling as Will Stout on Anni B True,'and are hoping to get it correctly diagnosed and r

Ian, We had our SM in Brunswick Landing marina summer before last. It was a good hurricane hole, and they have not had a hurricane there for a very long time. They do have a small yard that could haul

The older bow thrusters like the one on my hull #72 do not have any sensors. I suspect it is something mechanical, but not sure what. I'm sure someone out there must have experienced this problem, and

Hi JP, Is the water on the floor in the passage way? Salt or fresh water? We did have the handle of the toilet water intake under the floor start leaking, and then break off in my hand. Steve Aloha SM

My 1992 SM has 24v fans which run off the 12v circuit. I thought it odd when I first figured this out, but have been told this is how Amel designed the system. Steve Aloha SM72 Martinique

Hey Joel. The fans come on as soon as the key is turned on, and prior to the engine actually starting. Steve

Hi Ian and Linda, We know Gerald and Brigette from Jet Lag, and they are back home in Switzerland now. Hope you guys are doing well. Liz and I are on the water enroute Martinique to Trinidad for a hau

Hi Jason, The HIN is right below the port rub rail and just a few inches forward of the most aft end of the rail. Steve Davis Aloha SM72 Trinidad

Hi Bill, You should pull the trigger and buy the Alpenglow lights. We purchased 6 of the LED white/red fixtures for our boat a couple of years ago. Aft cabin, passage way to aft cabin, over nav statio

Hi Bill, I stored my 3 Penn 50/wides with 6' trolling rods on the ceiling above the the port forward berth. Check this link for the holders used. http://www.leetackle.com/rodstorage.html I have the an
