Yes, Bill, Olivier mentioned that earlier in this thread. I guess they figured that the 220 pump had to be protected AND grounded to 220AC to prevent someone from being electrocuted if there was a

Gerhard, I am very sure that the cable you located is the keel transducer cable. Did you locate the forward transducer? Bill Rouse BeBe Amel 53 #387 Sent from my tablet +39 333 121 8115 Italy

Hi Olivier, Thanks for your info regarding the B&G transducers. As I've learned from previous messages on this blog, the straight transducers on the later Super Maramus can be changed from the

I think there was a message about this from Olivier a few weeks ago – stating that if you have the climma system installed the bonding was connected to AC earth (at the boat side of the generator /

Kent, OK, I understand now that you were referring to 230VAC EARTH yellow/green when you said "boat's ground." Bill BeBe

Maybe, not everything is cut and dry. The 230VAC EARTH (yellow/green shore power/generator) is connected to the Amel Bonding System (yellow/green wire) at the Climma A/C salt water pump. The 230VAC

That's what I mean, Bill. The 220 ground is shore power ground unless you have a galvanic isolator or transformer. If so then there is shore power ground on the shore side of the isolator or

Craig, I think what is at issue is that internally some inverter chargers have a connection between 230 AC earth (yellow/green) and 24VDC(-). I am also thinking that this is why when Captain Amel was

Kent, What do you mean by "the boat's ground?" I believe that there are two separate yellow/green wire circuits: 1.) Amel bonding system circuit which connects together all metal parts that have

I think that would work, Craig, but the 220AC ground is also connected to the case. It would have to be disconnected and reconnected to the boats 220 ground. Since my charger/inverter failed, I've

Hello, We have changed the vinyl through out our older Maramu. it is a messy process but doable. There are other posts here on how to do it. However, there are two issues. in some areas, especially

Hi Kent - unless I'm missing something in all this grounding/bonding discourse, it seems the simple answer is don't connect your charger/inverter case to the green/yellow bonding system, only to the

I do not own a Sharki, but you should definitely check all wire runs inside the mast. Could be a bad seal. Jason Dernehl SM #88. "Taxes in Delaware are nice"

Hi Mark, I was replying to you and the internet went belly up..I see Bill has chimed in to say The only things connected to the bonding system should be metal parts in contact with salt

Good evening, Craig is right and the sensors are no more produced (but may be still available at some retailer's). First of all, this system works nice when both sensors are perfectly aligned. They

Be aware when ordering your new Sonic transducers that they are easily confused with the shorter ninety degree model shown on the B and G catalogue. Amel have fitted two straight transducers

It is quite true that the Sonic Speed itself is not made or sold anymore but B&G is still selling pairs of sensors replacement. I checked with US, French and UK retailers and found that they are

Ian Shepherd SM2K Crusader (2003) Larnaca Cyprus Thank you Bill and Joel for your input. It would now seem that the cause of the engine room hatch cover bulges is actually caused by corrosion

On my Sterling charger/inverter there is an internal connection between the DC neg and the case. If you connect the grounding post on the case to the bonding system, you have your connection. I
