Hi Bill, That's been my experience so far as well although I do subscribe to Collins idea of topping of the tank when I have had a chance. Backfired on me in Gibraltar. Filled my tank, left Queensway

Brian, Do you remember my setup when you came aboard? Can't recall the projector model right now, but I have it setup on port side on the shelf. I cut out the "fiddle" on the shelf to allow the projec

I'm hunting for a 25 amp bipolar (2 pole) 230 volt circuit breaker for my SM2K. Alexandre Uster von Baar, I see that you have a number of spare breakers from Nikimat. I'd be interested in buying the l

I had the exact same problem on our 2900nm passage from Hawaii to Tahiti. Imagine being in the doldrums and being afraid your engine is going to die! https://amelyachtowners.groups.io/g/main/topic/779

The aft valve is 1 1/4" BSPP I believe the forward head is the same. One of the guys that has changed the forward valve may respond or contact them directly to confirm.

I replaced the BT seals about 4 months ago. If you have a big puller, it isn't too difficult. We couldn't source one in Tahiti so made one out of two steel bars we found in the dumpster (!!) and two l

Lacking any directions, I concluded it is used, more or less, as shown in the photo below. Note my 85" pole comes with and requires 2 half-length poles that hook between a single eyelet at the bottom

Hi Bob Good to hear from you, and we trust you are doing well. I remember that Easter Sunday in 2019 very well when we chatted at Bequia. We had decided last minute on waking up that day not to spend

Dear Arno, Well I just called Amel and he said that does not matter if bronze or stainless as far as the valve is connected to the ground cable. I am using stainless valve in my company and one partic

Hi Alain, I'm not sure about the stainless as the pipe that is laminated in the hull is probably bronze, I'm not sure. In theory the bonding cable to the anodes should protect the assembly but it is q

Dear Mark, Thank you very much for your explanations and great advices. I like your first paragraph 😊 The Groco valve is also interesting but do you remember the size because I am not currently on the

I have changed the valve on the aft head. My advice to any 54 owner needing to change the aft head valve is to sail to an Amel service center and pay them to change that valve. Before you start be sur

Bob, For ocean crossings, we carried almost 200 liters of extra fuel in jerry cans in the port side deck locker. We never needed any of it and the lowest our 600-liter fuel tank got was about 1/2 full

Hi Colin, Last saw you as you were in your dinghy hanging onto our rail in Bequia to inform me of your decision to immediately move on through The Canal back to Austrailia. Just curious--even though y

Unfortunately, I’ve had way too much experience with this task and I have found that better than pliers/spanners, or even chain wrenches, are the cheapie “oil filter” type rubber belt wrenches as they

Is there a similar spot on the Maramu? I asked the previous owner of my boat but they didn't know. I've been on the hunt for a good spot but I haven't found one yet. BrianG701@...
