Hi everyone! My wife and I just closed on our first Amel Super Maramu, "It's Good" and are very excited to be a part of the "cult" of Amel owners. We are from Texas, just north of Houston and have bee

Thanks Mohammad! First we don't intend to modify anything so we don't need to worry about the keeper of All Things Amel (Bill Rouse) haunting me in my dreams :). Our current (shorter term) plans are t

Bill and Judy, Thank you for all that you do for us Amel owners. Being one of the newest members of the Amel family, our decision to buy our 1993 SM this past August, was in large part to your story a

Having recently purchased Super Maramu #105, we encountered a minor issue during our first pump out and that issue being that the standard pump out adapters do not simply screw on to the SM deck fitti

Alexandre, Thank you for the quick reply! Also, so sorry to hear about your boat and all of the other issues you have had with Hurricane Harvey. St. Maarten is one of my favorite places and I used to

Mark, Thanks for the additional information, I am going to give it a try. Looking forward to the pictures of your poop straw. :) Best, Mark and Jennifer S/V It's Good AMEL SM #105 Currently in Glouces

Courtney, I use the standard version and get most everything I need. Other data I simply get from others, etc. If I'm going someplace unfamiliar and need extra information I request a forecast for cur

Kent, If you have the Iridium Extreme, it also has the dedicated SOS button that provides all of the additional information in my previous reply to Bill Kinney. Like the Go! you still have to activate

Our SM "It's Good" is sitting in the Severn River, just off of Mobjack Bay for the season, so Jennifer and I could more than likely make it as well. It would be good to meet everyone since we bought o

It's Good can do either, but I do like the plan of a "rally" to Annapolis for the Boat Show, that could be fun for sure. Been to the boat show a number of times, but a) never sailed there and b) have

I tried searching for this, but couldn’t find the answer. My wife and I just returned to our boat and today I noticed that the bilge is running non-stop. I went to the engine room and noticed that the

Jean-Pierre, Thanks. Is manual in the up position? As my switch is not labeled that I can see anyway. Best, Mark

The switch is in the engine compartment on the forward bulkhead. Boat Name: S/V It’s Good Super Maramu Number 105 Built 1993

Jean-Pierre, Thanks! You and I both have older SM’s and the only manual I could find is for SM2000 which does not help much with the earlier ones! Mark

Thank you everyone. Alex, that was specifically my question. Upon further checking the float stick had somehow came up past the float switch holding it open. So I now have the Puisard back on and ever
