Re: sonic speed on SM 2000
Arno Luijten
Hi Marco,
The Ebay link and the Maxmarineshop link are actually one and the same vendor.
The partnumber seems to match the partnumber referred to in the installation manual of B&G, assuming Amel used the straight version. They came in the original B&G box carrying that number.
I have not examined the way the are mounted in detail as mine are still working. But they must be mounted from the underside I would say. There is a tube inside the hull leading all the way into the bilge.
I’m guessing the sensor is pushed in the hole bedded in Sikaflex. So I’m sure it will be a pig to remove once the time comes. I guess the best way is by drilling a hole in the face of the sensor and putting in a large screw to get some leverage to pull it out. Remember to tie a piece of string to the other end to feed in the new sensor once the old one is out.
Regards,
Arno Luijten

Re: Lubricant Oil for the z drive
Ulrich Michael Dangelmeyer
Hi, Paolo and Bill,
that's very interesting: last year before my oil change in the Z-drive I asked AMEL SAV , Thierry, for the exact amount and specification. Next to the oil reservoir in the engine room at the bulkhead, there is a sign on my 54 with the strict indication of 20W- 4o oil. Thierry confirmed this as a directly recommended oil type. This specification is not very popular and one could also switch to 15W-40. The total quantity is 8 litres. So I ordered the 20W-40 oil (semi-synthetic and especially for marine use) from a German oil company in the web and did the oil change with it. Bill, obviously you have some other service information, or does it only concern the SM Z-Drives? That would be important for me to know too.
Thanks for clarification. Best regards and stay healthy.

Re: sonic speed on SM 2000
Dear Paul and Arno, thanks for your usefull info. Do you have also examined how to remove the old sensor ( the aft one) and its cable? its frontal part with the probe seems to be glued in the front part pf the keel. cheers Marco SM Desiree , Italy , Naples

Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98 - Grenada On our SM the sonic speed, the one with the two sensors, that is connected to Hydra 200 is giving zero speed on the hydra 2000 monitor.
This was probably due to the loss of the neoprene cap of the aft sensor . Unfortunately this probe is out of production from long time.
Please Did you hknow how to repair it ? Do you know how replace the cable and the aft sensor?

Re: Washing Machine and 50 htz
Teun BAAS
Hi Penny & Barry,
I didn’t try PANTAENIUS after in 2017 their USA office offered me USD17K or so which I was ready to accept. Then PANTAENIUS USA sent me to PANTAENIUS
UK bcoz the boat is owned by a LONDON company and Dutch registered meaning an additional
USD2 or 3K in VAT – so now close to USD20K. Bill ROUSE sent me to another Insurance company and they offered USD8K (but the boat had to be during cyclone season in NEW ZEALAND) and again, happy to save USD10K, I was ready to accept when my friends in NEW CALEDONIA
introduced me to my current agent who insured AMELIT for USD5K with LLOYDS in LONDON and
no cyclone clause at all.
Apparently these premium disparities still exists as last year I met in the SP some other AMEL owners paying these sky-high USD15K plus premiums. I can eat a lot
of sushi for the difference in premium 😊. I am sure PANTAENIUS is still willing to
write policies at these premiums while making their conditions IMPOSSIBLE to comply with so they can get out of a claim if they want to.
The writing on the wall is that in 2017/2018, while the premiums & conditions were all over the board for the same boat, these proposal were readily available from
several insurance companies; now that seems to be no longer the case.

You're using the VEConfig software to adjust the inverter low voltage cutoff? I have successfully changed that on the Inverter tab "DC input low shut-down". Then you have to "Send Settings" to the Quattro otherwise it won't save them.
If you are still having problems, I have a contact with Victron that is quite responsive. Maybe Dutch people don't like other Dutch people? ;) We've had over 30 emails back and forth. FYI he suggested 20v as the input low voltage cutoff and 21.5v as the input low restart.
Additionally, try here. This may be even better. They're almost as helpful as the AYOG :)

On our SM the sonic speed, the one with the two sensors, that is connected to Hydra 200 is giving zero speed on the hydra 2000 monitor.
This was probably due to the loss of the neoprene cap of the aft sensor . Unfortunately this probe is out of production from long time.
Please Did you hknow how to repair it ? Do you know how replace the cable and the aft sensor?
thanks

Re: Washing Machine and 50 htz
Hi Teun, there certainly seems to be a widespread reluctance to insure off shore yachts. Who is the company that gave you your cover and the broker that arranged it. Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Hi Barry,
Have now received my policy for AMELIT
on very acceptable conditions & agreed value.
FWIW: I also received a quote from the last agency recommended via this AYOG forum and he also came with the same insurance company. All 3 agents advised me that
the carrier didn’t want to increase the agreed hull/machinery/equipment (HMEV) value except my current agent was able to have the HMEV increased to a level I preferred.
Very worrying that out of 8 agencies
only 4 were able to offer me a cover at all
and ALL 4 agents proposals came from the same European Insurance company

Re: FRESH WATER SAFETY CUTOFF Maybe Gary Silver will respond
Hi Bill & All:
Mark at Borel returned my phone call yesterday afternoon. I told him of my long favorable use of his product aboard my boat and the renewed interest in the pump run-on alarm.
He has retired and no longer manufactures his products. I told him there might be an expanded market for the product due to publication of its utility. He indicated he would not restart production. I further inquired if he would be willing to sell the production rights etc. and he expressed no interest in doing so.
Darn it, I guess we will have to look elsewhere for a 28 VDC pump run-on alarm.

Re: Replacement of carpets in SM
Gary Wells
Alexander, I am of no help in France but we made our own replacements without too much trouble.
We made a template.from large wrapping paper then bought a "remnant" piece from a big-box store.
Cutting it with a box cutter was not too hard, just have to be careful.
Once we had the pieces cut out we took them to a real "Carpeting and Flooring" store and asked them to "Bind" the edges which they did nicely in only a couple of days.
We learned that the "Binding" process adds a small amount of extra material to the edges so our pieces were just a tiny bit too big but still fit ok.
I think we will do it again this summer as the first attempt was mostly an experiment anyway. It was not very expensive overall.
Best wishes!
