Randall, Trust me, I was seriously considering getting rid of the genset. Unfortunately it's not just a port-stb list. The stern is so heavy due to the arch + Simpson davits + hydraulic passerelle + d

Do you have a photo of this? (general question to all who have raised their waterline)

Ruslan, The current scum line is ABOVE the stripe on port side! Especially at the stern. I am liking Michael's idea of keeping the line the same from the bow to the main mast lowers, then raising it f

Hi Michael, So just to make sure I understand correctly, you kept the existing stripe and antifoul line up to the forward lowers and then from that point, the bootstripe and antifoul start pointing mo

Same 50% discount applies in NZ until the end of the year. 520nzd or about $333 usd. I am very close to just buying it even though we plan to travel overland in NZ for a few months and won't be using

Chris, Apparently common rail injectors need to be coded to the ECU. This is the downside of a clean, efficient modern engine, I guess. Good thing it failed on the way to NZ and not when we're in Papu

I didn't notice much of a difference but I have to admit I don't blast the water at full volume very often. With the UP6/E, even our cockpit sprayer provides plenty of volume. When leaving all taps op

After nearly 5 years of scrubbing growth off our gelcoat in beautiful tropical locations, we've given up and decided to raise the waterline. As with many Amels, we are a bit stern heavy, accentuated b

Have any of you replaced fuel injectors on your Volvo D3-110C? Did you need to code it with a Vodia tool? The diesel injector mechanic seems to believe so but the Volvo dealer is unsure. Background: M

Has anyone replaced these sheaves? I have probably dumped a liter of lube (one drop, grease, everything slippery I can find on the boat) over the last two years and the noise goes away for a short per

Hawaiian Airlines is supposed to offer it for free on flights from California to Hawaii in 2023. My admittedly old electronic charts shows an ocean between those two locations. :) https://www.reuters.

Nick, I installed the Marco UP/6E without a pressure vessel at first. I would not recommend that. Because of our freshwater heads, there's an issue called the "hammer effect" when the toilet water sol

No modifications.

We replaced ours with a Candy CDCP 6/E https://www.tradeinn.com/techinn/en/candy-cdcp-6-dishwasher-6-cutlery/138353584/p Great little dishwasher that we use at least once daily for the last 4+ years.

Do you all have the standard antenna or the "in motion" antenna? I assume none of you paid $10k USD for the maritime version? :)

Another potential source of failure is that water can get into the wiring from the sensor to the junction box next to the hydraulic pump. I used Arno's instructions and checked each sensor and it seem

On the 54, rainwater that hits the forward port 25% of the boat drains out one pipe on the port side amidships. We stuck a big bucket there during a big rainstorm and kept measuring TDS until it got d

Do you have an alignment tool that I could beg/borrow/rent?

Mike makes a very good point. If it’s lubed by freshwater and you’re supposed to clean it by rinsing it, seems the lip seal keeps you from rinsing it. The seal may keep dirt out, but if SW and dirt ge

Possibly useful data point: A54 #69 does not have a lip or V shaped seal there. I have not serviced it and it has worked perfectly over my 4.5 years of ownership and 30k+ miles. I think perhaps a prev
