I was reviewing an early SM today and was told, "...only added a few wires."

Do yourself a favor: if your Amel has any wiring added, ensure that it is the correct wire size, type, color, and installed correctly. This Amel cannot be certified, and frankly, someone would probably condemn it.

Hire an electrician, or study marine codes if you plan to do this yourself. Sooner or later, you will need to sell your Amel, and someone, maybe me, may review her for the buyer. If this is how your boat looks, I doubt anyone will buy it.

When the probable electric fire starts, hopefully, nobody will be harmed.

Dear Amel Community,

I am thrilled to announce a significant enhancement to the Online Amel Book: the integration of a powerful new AI assistant, effective immediately. If you have a password to the Online Amel Book, you have access to AI, and will find AI assistant instructions on the Intro-Page.

This intelligent tool is designed to transform how you interact with the 400-page resource. You can now ask complex questions in plain English and receive precise, context-aware answers drawn directly from the text. This feature streamlines your search for answers, providing instant and accurate information.

Current Capabilities & Future Developments
• AI assistant in the Online Amel Book: The assistant currently searches the complete text of the 400-page Online Amel Book. All questions and answers are in English, with an auto-translate feature planned for a future update. The AI is limited to the content of the Online Amel Book. Some questions you will ask will likely be answered with, "The text does not provide explicit information on..." If you are familiar with my Amel Book Supplements, you know that to answer most of your questions, AI must read all 7,000 Supplement files. I am working on this.
• Amel Book Supplements: Please note that the AI assistant for the nearly 7,000 Amel Book Supplement files is a separate project currently in development and is not yet available.
Access for Subscribers

This new AI Assistant is now included with all active Online Amel Book and Amel Support subscriptions. To support the ongoing costs of this advanced technology, a modest price increase for these subscriptions will be implemented soon. This investment significantly enhances the value and utility of your subscription.
Invitation for a Free Trial

If you are not yet a subscriber, I'd like to invite you to experience the power of this new tool with a complimentary trial (ending 14 August).
1. Navigate to CLIENT ACCESS on my website: https://www.AmelSchool.com or my blog https://preparetocastoff.blogspot.com/
2. Log in using the password: freetrial
3. Click the Online Amel Book image (third from the top) and use freetrial as the password again.
4. Agree to the terms to load the book and begin using the AI Assistant.
5. You will see Supplement Files Search at the bottom of the CLIENT ACCESS page. The freetrial password does not give you access to this.

For the best user experience, I recommend using a tablet or a larger screen.

I am confident this new feature will greatly enhance your use and exploration of the Amel Book. I welcome your feedback as I continue to improve my offerings.

I have attached two AI questions I posed to the AI assistant in the Online Amel Book this morning. There was insufficient data to answer the first entirely, and AI responded, "...[the book] does not provide explicit information..." However, AI directed me to go to page 292. I was impressed by the answer to my second question.

I will post this identical message again in two days because I want everyone to take advantage of the free trial.

If you need any more information, please don't hesitate to email me at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Bill

Sometime in the last 4 years Amel changed the size of the C-drive Wear Bushing O-ring from 39,5X3 to 39,5X2.5. We have been unable to get an answer of when and why. If you own a SN, SM, 54, or 55, you should make note of this. I just updated my Online Amel Book, Amel Book Supplements, and Amel drawings.
