Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Front opening refridgerator
sailormon <kimberlite@...>
I do not know if your reefer is mounted like mine. However Bill posted instructions as to how to remove it. I will recap from memory to the right of the refrigerator under the sink there is an Amel black knob.- Remove it. If you reach under the floorboard in front of the refrigerator (from the bilge) you will find a black knob holding the floorboard in place . remove it and the floorboard. Under the refrigerator there is a face panel fastened with a few screws. Remove the face panel. The refrigerator should then be loose. You might have to remove the front door to completely remove the reefer. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Hello! I have two questions: - I like to remove the front opening refrigerator on our SM#259 from 1999 to clean out behind it and clean around the compressor, but I can't find whats securing it, doe's anyone know how to pull it out? - I think of changing the compressor to a water cooled unit and also the evaporator to save energy and reduce the sound from the fan, does it make sense to do that? I hesitate to buy the new units with drawer as they are very expensive. Paul on S/Y Kerpa SM#259

I would agree with a lot of that but receiving a simple text message can also be easier if you are in a low bandwidth situation.
I download and tried the yahoo forum offline tool - http://www.personalgroupware.com/index.htm - The trial version fairly quickly downloaded 4000 or so messages - I will try and leave it running and download the rest in the next day or so - the file and photos download didn't seem to work though. If that can be made to work then it would seem an ideal offline tool to have a local copy of the forum messages and would be very useful when away from Internet access. I note also that the creator offers a bulk discount - I wonder if they would give forum members a discounted price.
Also it looks like it exports all the messages and attachments in SQLLite format so it should be technically possible to transform this into a format that could be migrated to another forum.

There is only a breaker for the bow thruster control circuits on the main panel above the Galley - there is no breaker for the motor itself as currents can get to over 400 amps

Richard, Isn’t that for the control circuit of the thruster? The bow thruster is , I believe 10 Horsepower which would be 7800 watts or a 700 Amp breaker figuring a 100% safety factor. That would be one heck of a circuit breaker. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

If I were king of the Amel Forum, I would move away from Yahoo altogether and subscribe to a more contemporary platform--then migrate all the Amel forum archives over to the new platform. I would look for one that allowed, for example, the ability to post a photo or video--or link to a photo or video --within a message. ("Here's a photo of the bow thruster breaker, Kent, located in the forward port cabin locker..." "Here's a photo of my corroded anchor chain. Do I need a new chain? Or is there a way to clean this up?..."

I will check into this as well. I'm a programmer by trade and would be happy, if needs be, to write something to transfer the data. I've been wondering if there was a way to "archive" this group for times of need in the middle of the ocean anyway!

I would hope there will be a reasonable amount of time before anything drastic happens to yahoo groups. Cheers, James.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Engine Problems Amel 54

Electronic fuel pump management on boats can bring in an area of lesser reliability. On the larger Yanmars at least, and I presume still on the latest smaller ones, they have mechanical fuel pumps whereas competitors have electronic. The reason for this I have been told is that to comply with IMO tier 2 emissions most manufacturers need to electronically control the fuel pump whereas Yanmar has a patented combustion chamber design that allows the emissions to comply, so doesn't need the elctronic management.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Engine Problems Amel 54

I think that the big problem with volvo marine engines, is the move to the common rail design. Remember that their marine engines are a small part of their buisness, so their supply of base engines are now probably all common rail. Even in road vehicles there has been major issues with this type of engine (I know of one Toyota with a common rail engine, which had 2 engines changed under warranty and I've had to change one fuel pump in my BMW). So I'm wondering if the common rail engines are really suited to a cruising boat with the added problems of the marine enviroment. If not, is there a more traditional aspirated or turbo 110Hp engine alternative.
