[Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Bowthruster on AMEL 54 suddenly stops; Propellers clear
Easier and safer than it looks. If I could do, anyone can. Just make sure the shaft is fast to a line or something, so it does not slip. 2015-02-02 12:12 GMT-02:00 Peter Forbes ppsforbes@... [am

Hi to all. After 4 great years, we decided to find a new family for Atica - our Amel 54. Luckly, Juan de Dios y Eduardo, with their lovely wives, showed up. I am sure Atica will be ok in the good hand

Hi Wolfgang Something like this once happened while Atica was on the hard (and I was 5200 miles away!). Of course the usual suspects were all checked, but no avail. It turned out it was an alarm that
