Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Masthead lights do not last
Kent,
Is a voltage stabiliser the same as a DC-DC converter?

Mine is in the passageway from the salon to the forward cabin above the water tight bulkhead door, by the connections for the masthead lights.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Masthead lights do not last
I had a similar problem several years ago when I switch to LED bulbs. It turned out that I needed a voltage stabilizer, which prevents both spikes and drops in voltage. The LED bulbs first came out,

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Masthead lights do not last
Ben and Gayle,
That is an odd problem. It seems that if you were having a large voltage surge that it would affect other bulbs as well. Could it be that you have a resonant vibration atop the spar

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Masthead lights do not last
Good afternoon Ben,
What type of 24 Volt bulb do you use?
LED?
Do you have (adjustable) voltage-stabilizers?
Here are pictures from when I did not what they

Masthead lights do not last
Since we bought our SM last year (Feb 2015) we've replaced the anchor light bulb 5 times. The boat was little used - fewer than 800 hours on engine and generator - and we've had only the usual

Re: DC ground leak
Hi Alan,
before going into AC I would check the DC connections - you mentioned the usual suspects (electric pumps) and the leak detector is for the DC-circuit.
Do you use a laptop and to which other

Thanks Bill & Gary!
Noted on the illustration!
When I do it again, in 5 years, this time using the original part I cleaned, I will be using the high temperature RTV.

Bill,
My first introduction to Tef-Gel came when I completely disassembled the spar to be refinished on which Tef-gel had been used on every fastener 12 years prior. As the boat had been cruised

we do have a galvanic isolator wired into the ground wire that comes from the shore power cable, but this is happening while we are at sea!
We noticed that it seems to happen after using

Great photos. I read earlier a discussion regarding RTV. I would not use high temperature RTV on the new part, but would use it if I was refitting the old part because of the pitting in the

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Rudder , zincs, bonding, and cleaning inside
Please feel free to correct me, but the rudder zincs are wired in series, and I belieI believe the closest zinc to the source protected goes first.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Rudder , zincs, bonding, and cleaning inside
Over time in the rudder the threads get a bit soft tending to not conduct well. So a size bigger generally solved the problem.

Re: Introduction / new owner SM#351

I am looking an Amel Super Maramu. In this group you told us you were the new owner of Bigouz. But I see Bigouz again on sale.
May I know why are you selling Bigouz again?
Thank you
