Derick, Mine failed also, but by drilling and inserting a SS pin and using some JB Weld, it is as good as new...at least until I find one. Bill Rouse BeBe Amel 53 #387 Sent from my tablet +39 333

Thank your information Patrick, Seems that SM with the fix prop are getting more out of their engines. Sincerely, Alexandre Sm2K #289 NIKIMAT Grand

If you are getting the 80 HP, the MaxProp setting should be similar to the old Perkins or my old Volvo, I think. There was a significant difference between the Volvo78 and the Yanmar110. I'll get

The 12v alternator that came on my Yanmar110 has a ground wire, but it is grounded to the block. I think I will be able to use it. The 24v alternator that was in the old Volvo is also an isolated

Gary, Did the old 7 meter whip antenna fit the new Shakespeare mount? My plastic ball fitting just failed and I am having a hard time sourcing a new one. Derick SM2K#400 Brava Currently on the hard

Oops, end of my post didn't come through. The schematics on how to isolate ground are in French, but Maud says basically that any electrician worth his salt should be able to figure it out. (-: I

Thanks again Kent. All greatly appreciated. Steve

Thanks Kent. You are a wealth of knowledge on this subject, and a great resource for the group. I'm curious, is your alternator an isolated ground alternator? Also, what gadget do you have to measure

Steve, Isolating the Yanmar has been a hair-pulling experience...as much because isolated sensors are difficult to match. Ask Yanmar if the sensors are the same for the 80HP and 110HP. If not, look

It's my understanding that it shouldn't cause a problem unless there is a fault in the engine's electrical system. If there is, it can eat up your zincs almost overnight, then start working on the

Hey Richard, We are about to order the new Yanmar for Aloha, and are finding Yanmar USA not helpful regarding the isolation issues. For example, they will not provide isolated ground alternators

Hi Richard, Back in RI?? How many hours of sailing/engine did you do on the SM you moved from Goček? Saw you had issues in Malta… Cheers, Jean-Pierre Germain SY Eleuthera, SM 007

Take a look at posts Kent has on this site. Not isolating the engine will over a very short time cause a issues with the Amel drive and engine. The old saying an once of prevention. Fair Winds

Alexandre , I have a TMD22A and have always obtained 2800 rpm and about 8.4 knts. I have a fixed prop. Pat SM #123

Just a good waterproof grease should be fine. Some have added grease nipples and add grease periodically. Search "grease Genoa Furler". Kent SM243 Kristy

Hi All- I have recently disassmbled the head sail furler so the electric motor can get serviced and the bolts that spin the unit can get tapped/re-drilled. Thank you all for your

Good morning Steve, Hanspster, interesting about the overheating. Did it just happened or was it there before. As I mentioned, I have the Volvo TMD22P with 4900 hours. The temperature gage was

Yes, Alan... But, for those mechanics that may repower your Amel and for those who do not understand what Mr. Amel wanted, think of this: When you are repowering your Amel with a C drive, where are

It would mean that the electrical system is not isolated..this an Amel principle to minimise galvanic corrosion All the battery negative connections in Amel boats are isolated from the ground
