Thanks. I'm diving the boat today .. It seems most feel prop is most likely. If not, I'll move through all suggested fixes Thanks Ben Driver SM 347 La Bella Vita Ben Driver

I do not know if your reefer is mounted like mine. However Bill posted instructions as to how to remove it. I will recap from memory to the right of the refrigerator under the sink there is an Amel

Hello! I have two questions: - I like to remove the front opening refrigerator on our SM#259 from 1999 to clean out behind it and clean around the compressor, but I can't find whats securing it,

Thanks, I thought that was who was posting. Bill BeBe

I would agree with a lot of that but receiving a simple text message can also be easier if you are in a low bandwidth situation. I download and tried the yahoo forum offline tool -

There is only a breaker for the bow thruster control circuits on the main panel above the Galley - there is no breaker for the motor itself as currents can get to over 400 amps Andrew SM 472

Richard, Isn’t that for the control circuit of the thruster? The bow thruster is , I believe 10 Horsepower which would be 7800 watts or a 700 Amp breaker figuring a 100% safety factor. That would

John, Which model and hull# Amel do you own? Bill BeBe #387

Electronic fuel pump management on boats can bring in an area of lesser reliability. On the larger Yanmars at least, and I presume still on the latest smaller ones, they have mechanical fuel pumps

I think that the big problem with volvo marine engines, is the move to the common rail design. Remember that their marine engines are a small part of their buisness, so their supply of base engines

Kent, It may be the electronics , not the basic engine that is the problem. With all the Volvos out there, it seems odd that parts aren't available , I have heard they are expensive, fortunately I
