Re: Wave slap / banging under the stern
Mark Erdos
Hi Stefan,
In the past, we
have effectively used swimming noodles. Put a rope through about three of them
and attach each end of the rope to the furthest aft cleats on the toe-rail
(level with the portholes of the aft cabin). Pull the noodles into position
under the stern.
No that we have
been living on the boat for quite some time, the noise no longer bothers us. At
first it was very annoying.
With best
regards,
Mark

Subject: [AmelYachtOwners] Wave slap / banging under the stern
Hello to all,
today a less technical issue.
Do somebody got a (temporarily) solution against the banging (and often
really annyoing) waves under the stern/ owners bed of the AMEL 53/ 54/ 55 -
when on anchor?

Re: Desperate plea for an alternator/charging problem - Amel Euros 41, 1976, MD21a engine
Andrew,
You will not find 24 volts in your Euros. Later model Amels have 24 volts, beginning with the Super Maramu.

Sorry for the delay, yes an auto electrician found it in 20 mins. It was the alternator bulb/lamp. What usually comes on when your alternator is faulty in a car, but I never knew this bulb was in the circuit as it never had worked. Lesson learnt here now. Still one alternator to repair and batteries would benefit from being changed. Also to my knowledge this system is now just 12v, I haven't found any 24v lying around anywhere yet.
Thanks for your help, learning curve here!

Re: Wave slap / banging under the stern
Stefan,
I know that this is hard to believe, but the number one cure is time. Over a period of months, this will become less of a distraction to you and you will become more accustomed to it. There are many things you can do and/or buy, but none really changes the waves or the shape of the hull.
The slapping issue is caused by the waves or swell, not the Amel 54, although the Amel 54 will be worse than the SM. The 54 has a wider flatter stern hull...more area to slap.

Re: Final on the genset exhaust fan wiring
Thanks Eric.
Your description reflects that the fuse and capacitor are each in series on the load, with the fuse and capacitor parallel to one another. I assume that wiring the
fuse and capacitor parallel to one another and in series on the load is the same as each being wired in-line and in series to the load. I suspect that either way the fuse and capacitor will do their job. Since I am not an electrician, I would wire them in-line and in series to the load with the fuse between the load source and the capacitor and the capacitor between the fuse and blower. But, my method probably isn't as clean and neat. One day I will go back to school, maybe.😀

Raw water pump on Volvo D3
ngtnewington Newington
I have another question for the group.
Two years ago in Trinidad I replaced the bearings and seals on the raw water pump on my Volvo D3 as it was dripping sea water. Not ideal since the 12v alternator is directly below!!! Since then it has not leaked a drop it until now. I noticed a few crystals of salt on a little plastic tray, I keep below the pump, whilst putting the boat to bed for the winter.
The rebuild two years ago was some 500 engine hours ago.
Is that normal? I am a bit disappointed. I was hoping for double that.
What to do?
1. Buy whole new pump at a cost of £525.
2. Buy the rebuild kit that includes a new shaft. £225
3. or just fit a new lip seal that costs very little about £5

Thanks James and everyone else. I am home in the UK for the winter. October was gorgeous in Greece. The sea was warm enough to swim and the air pleasantly warm in the day and almost chilly at night.
Amelia is ready to launch, but it will be a long winter in the UK.

This is the same reason that changing engine oil with the engine warm, much easier. In the future if you have the same problem, just put some gentle heat on the unit such as a 100 watt clamp light or a small thermostatically controlled heater (in a pinch a hair dryer, but keep an eye on these things, not rated for continuous use) . No need to get anything really hot, just bring the oil up to 100F or so and it will be much thinner and should flow. It might take hours of gentle heating to accomplish this, especially if the 54’s have fibreglass cases on the lower units of the bow thruster which does not conduct heat very well. Hope you also had a good season in Greece this year.

I filled mine from the top, with the drain open, then used a dinghy pump to pressurise the reservoir until clean oil came out the drain. I did need a few periodical top-ups but never had any problem

Hi Matt,
That does make sense but this is not the first time I have changed the oil. I did it when I bought the boat in June 2017 in Grenada WI. As I remember, I just drained it and filled the reservoir. It was hot and the oil
would have been thinner. It was quite cool this time and the oil more viscous…any other thoughts out there?

Re: black wire on the genset exhaust fan

There should be two things spliced in series to the load (brown) wire; fuse and the capacitor. The capacitor is likely closest to the fan (blower).
Hi Bill, Thank for the Photo. It was hard to make out but does the black wire and the brown wire from the fan connect to the the capacitor and then the red wire from the powered cable on the other ?ide of the capacitor. Best, Eric SM 376 Kimberlite

Re: Help with 220 Volt Genset exhaust fan Super Maramu
Eric,
I found the following photo. I had cut the original capacitor from the wiring bundle, installed a wiring junction block, and new capacitor. The reason I did this is because the capacitor controls the speed of the blower and the capacitor was out-of-spec, slowing the motor. If you look closely at the BLUE circle, you will see that the original white capacitor wires (at least 1) was spliced to a black wire. I hope this helps you.

I am not sure where the black wire goes, unless it is a jumper.
That fan (blower) is exactly the same fan (blower) on your Climma AC.

The line ahead of the transfer box is energized by the genset running (on SM 422). The hot line goes fuse, capacitor, then fan. I'm not sure about your black wire.....if that's a 4th wire coming from your fan, we don't have one so can't help there.
As an aside, due to charger overheating, we installed Hella 24 volt fan in ceiling light block over genset, pointed at charger. Switch is by watermaker panel. It resolved my charger overheating issue where new blower had made no difference.
