Danny, These are so reliable that there is very little experience in troubleshooting and repair. I have no experience and few owners have very little. I don't know how to help, other than to say most

Yes, and let me add a warning about a potential mistake...I made it when I first did this. Mark McGovern is correct about the solenoid that he says I used, but it was not the first one I used. The fir

Karen, I do not have the precise vacuum, but I imagine that Amel probably adjusts the vacuum switch when it is installed. Here is the information I have in my book. The source of this information was

I have done this job several times, but each time the 54 never had the seals replaced since new. The issue I ran into was getting the lower unit separated from the motor. I had to seek out a sizeable

Trey, The VHF coax cable in the mainmast is good for 10-20 years. Maybe now is a good time. Choose a high-quality low-loss coax if you do this. CW Bill Rouse Amel Owners Yacht School +1 832-380-4970 |

Scott, I was told that Amel used the International Micron series, including Micron 66 and the less effective Micron Extra were used in the past. I believe that Hempel makes a reasonably good hard anti

Scott, Amel has changed antifouling over the years. Amel currently uses SEAJET 033 SHOGUN. Amel SAV told me that SEAJET antifouling is compatible with all others, although I would double-check that. I

You can buy these in a number of places. They are 50mm or 2 inches. Here is a snippet from a page in my Amel Book. CW Bill Rouse Amel Owners Yacht School +1 832-380-4970 | brouse@... Address: 72

Dan, Look for an email from me in a few minutes. A quick workaround is that the Pressure Sensor is a normally open (NO) switch. Disconnecting the electrical leads, takes it out of the circuit. Also, c
