Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Top Ten for why the electric motor won't work?

That's a start solenoid on my 24v60 (not duo). Try tapping on it with a wrench. It may start. I replaced mine with a new one I got online. I don't remember where but as I remember it was easy to find. If that doesn't work, try bypassing the solenoid to see if the motor runs. I assume you checked for power to the motor. On SM 243 the breaker for the watermaker is on the forward engine room bulkhead. Didn't bump that accidentally, did you? Kent SM 243 Kristy On Jan 13, 2017, at 10:11 AM, sailor63109@...

I'm going to take off all the connections and shine them up, but they look fine to me now; no rust or other gunk visible. It ran fine up to the time of taking the belt off. We even ran it without the belt momentarily to confirm the direction of rotation for the one-way bearing and it was fine. I d on't see a fuse at the motor anywhere. There is a "box" attached to the motor that the red battery wire connects to that I suppose is connected to the control panel "24V" switch to start it. So, would anyone like to suggest things to check? 1. Power to the motor with the switch "on". 2. Clean the connections. 3. ??? |
