Membrane Tube end caps
Just after buying Aquarius I had new membranes installed, and the white nylon end caps were no good, so I had them replaced them with brand new black ones from Dessalator. Two years later in New Zeala

Excessive usage of water maker membranes
Hello Mark, On Aquarius, we also have this problem with our 24V D60. We continually see an increase in the ppm each year. I have a few questions so we might flush this out... 1) Do you have a pre-pump

Hello, This video shows my rebuild of the bow thruster. If you can't get the lower unit to disengage using all the tricks from other Amel Owners, you can do this for a last resort..... Here is a link

You want to keep your cable as short as possible. The longer the cable, the more cable loss you will have. I put the IridiumGo inside the cabinet above the sink. It is just below the steering box and

This is how to go one step farther than just supervising your workers: When I was in Shelter Bay Marina, there was a mechanic there, I think they call him the Diesel Whisperer, or something like that.
