Ulrich, I think they called them rubber boots but I don't remember. When I ordered, I ordered the joysticks and boots separately. That is the way they work. Again, the name is APEM. This is the refere

By the way, the brand Amel uses is APEM. Jamie Phantom, A54 #44

I ordered some total replacement joysticks from Amel for the sail furler controls - the momentary switches. I also ordered additional switches from RS Components for the winch controls and the bow thr

Alex, a quick update - the bottom stool is now called out by a new name below. If you click on the links in my last email, it will take you to the Wayfair site. Good luck. Jamie Phantom, A54 #44 Winno

Alex, the ones I ordered and installed are below. I do not think either one is still available, but there are others that are similar if not a bit more expensive. I prefer the cheaper of the two. I am

Oh, I see what you are talking about. That disconnects a lot more than the bow thruster. It also shuts off the anchor controls. I had to replace mine with a rotary switch, as the original pushbutton r

Wolfgang, maybe this switch you are referencing is only on late model A54s. I do not have one to my knowledge. Where is it located on your boat? Thanks, Jamie Phantom, A54 #44

Scott, I redrilled the holes in the plate to fit the new chair bottom. It is quite strong, and I carry a spare chair. Jamie Phantom, A54 #44

I had the same problem. The plastic seat was totally busted. After contacting Amel, they told me they cannot supply a replacement, so I looked on line. I found a really good replacement at Wayfair in

Dean, I too have that issue, but the solution is to keep the fuel tank full. Maybe some lead bars behind the lithiums will do the trick? I hope I did not cause anyone to second guess their own battery

Well I guess I should chime in here, so to speak. I installed Fireflys in my A54 a few years ago. They lasted about 3 years before the voltage drop started to cause problems for me. They were promoted

Scott and Mia, I am very happy to hear of your safe arrival. As always, your postings have helped us all, and this latest one is no exception. Congratulations on your successful journey. I too have si

You have to manually disconnect the small plastic fittings at the flow meter and drain it, as well as the return hose at the panel. There will be water in both the hose and the sight glass if you do n

I had a similar problem, wherein the chain counter would count on its own, regardless of the anchor position. I had Alban in Martinique look at it and he cleaned the magnet. It worked for awhile and t

I do not think that the manifold corrosion is directly related to the bonding system. Copper will eventually fail in a salt-water environment, which is what I experienced. You can verify the problems

Just an update. The original manifold on my A54 was actually copper and not bronze as I had originally thought. That explains the corrosion, since copper is lower on the galvanic scale than bronze, wh

I want to report a serious issue regarding the raw-water manifold that feeds the refrigerator, anchor wash, AC, and watermaker pumps on my A54. As I was servicing the sea chest strainer and cleaning o

OK got it.

Oliver, are you going to market and produce the custom board you show in your video? If you can help me better understand what you are saying, I am assuming the following: You developed and have built

Thanks Oliver. Yes, I did see your posting, but I did not see any details about the controller you built. Appreciate the tip about the ADUM and the reliability issues. I am looking but cannot find any
