Main engine is working fine. The boat has dual RACALs before the engine and genset. The raw water output looks limp to me, I have no context for a normal flow as the boat is new to me.

I'm going on the fact there is water not diesel in the dry exhaust. The main engine is fine. The gen raw water pump is leaking a little. The raw water thru hull looks weak. The generator worked correctly despite the white smoke (watermaker/water heater/both battery chargers). I haven't use it since I saw the smoke. The coolant level looks normal to me in the expansion tank (half way between cold and hot).

• I will change the gen fuel filter after checking for water in it. If thats it then great.
• I will change the impellor and o-ring, hopefully, it's all there. Otherwise thats why the raw water outlet is poor.

If I still have white smoke at that point then it's time for a tech. Working today so I'll get to this Sat.


Thanks
Billy

It could be for a TV antenna.

Subject: [AmelYachtOwners] Main mast Antennas

 

There is a piece of cable hanging from the top of the main mast mast. Any idea if Amels have been originally  delivered with two antennas on the main mast? I have one on the main mast that is fine and is for the VHF radio. There is one on mizzen for AIS. The second one on main mast would be for FM/AM radio?

Eric,

All of the exploded drawings I have of the MARINA bilge pump from each of the manufacturers that made it, show the motor and gearbox as one part.

I assume that you are looking for the Delrin gear inside the gearbox because this is the part that eventually fails.

I was able to source this Delrin gear in Turkey from Emek Marine. RIZA <cagdas"at"emekmarin.com>. I believe that he machined them from Delrin. I was also told by another reliable source that this same gearbox is used Mercedes in the 80s. I attempted to find that Mercedes part but failed to do so.

Hi,
Is there more than one version of the Marina pump?
My pump has a cog wheel that drives the pump diaphragm.
I do not see it in this diagram.

My wife and I are former SM owners who miss the life and our Amel.  We have been shopping for 50 foot plus boat for several months and nothing comes close to our Amel.  We're interested in late model SM 2000.

To your point Joel, it looks to me like water in the combustion process some how. Coolant levels look fine. The raw water pump is leaking but I don't know how that could be allowing water in the combustion process.

Hi
The fun continues on Coder's shakedown cruise. Yesterdays problem were two fold:

The generator raw water pump appears to be leaking. Worked this with Bill.
The other issue is the generator makes white smoke as it warms up from the dry exhaust.

The generator has about 840 hours on it. Has been serviced properly as far as I know. Denis (previous owner) was pretty meticulous. The boat was on the hard for 12 months while being sold but it was winterized, it was recommisioned, surveyed and then we got it in late June. We changed the oil and filters on it after purchase. Oil level looks good (full) and is "clean" on the dip stick.

Generator is running with no codes (I have the simple generator panel so no other data).

I am trying to get an onan field tech to come to the boat (Port Washington, NY mooring right now). The generator 5 year warranty is still in effect as far as I know.

Currently charging batteries with the engine but can't make water with out the gen.

Any ideas appreciated.
Billy
