I should be working on the rudder packing gland . . . but . . . Instead, I made a list of over two dozen places to hide objects which could then only be found by a dog or an experienced Amel owner, bu

Paul, et al., Great thread! And very timely: I just found 8 ozs of water in area next to rudder post. We are just about to depart Panama for the US. What to do? 1. Leave repair until I return in six (

Duane, Alternatively, conflict with the cockpit drain can be solved by shifting the tank a couple inches outboard (to port). This is simpler than modifying the tank and cheaper than buying the tank wi

Does anyone know the manufacturer and model number for the furling motor for the Genoa on the SM2000? I thought I read a thread about this motor a while back, but now I can't find it. Many thanks, Ste

Duane, I just replaced the water heater on our Super Maramu 2000. Here are a couple of thoughts in case you have to replace yours. But keep in mind that Amel may have made some adjustments in the layo

Steve and Liz, Thank you for the recommendation. We ordered the unit a couple of days ago and found the people at Nautus in Ft. Lauderdale helpful. You didn't say which version you ordered. Was it a t

Alexandre - thank you so much for the quick reply. My SM2K is about 1/2 year earlier and has the Guest fixture, not the AquaSignal, so the wiring may be different. However, given your information, I w

I am away from our boat -- S/V Hanalei, a 1999 SMM -- and do not have access to the masthead unit or the wiring diagrams. I would like to buy an LED masthead/anchor light and bring it with me back to
