Same here, mine is wired to the main supply. Sincerely, Alexandre SM2K #289 NIKIMAT Harbor View Marina, Tortola, BVI --------------------------------------------

David, I am a mechanical engineer. I perform all work on my boat. I definitely will be helpful. We can do this job. My SM #345 is in Herrington Harbor North. She is in the hard. Call me 202 258

I also have a 24v to 220v inverter under the chart table. I haven’t been able to figure out what it is powering. I guess I’ll check the aft head. Paul Schofield SM 215 Trillium Brunswick,

I can help you, but I have never done it before. I know how it should be done. I live in Edgewater. Call me. Vladimir Sonsev SM 345 "LIFE IS GOOD" 202 258 1916

The heating element on the Quick Nautical Boiler B3 40L has a 55mm hex nut. You need a 55mm immersion box wrench to remove it. It's an axle nut wrench that you should be able to purchase at a Napa

We're fairly naive Amelers and we've just noticed for the first time the sound of water sloshing from side to side in the forward base of the canopy over the cockpit in our Maramu. I notice that

Craig, Isn't it possible that lightening caused this? Bill Rouse BeBe Amel 53 #387 Sent from my tablet +1832-380-4970 USA Voice Mail

When it rains it pours... The tank on my SN#68 just sprung a leak. I haven't taken it out yet, but It appears a straight-forward job to remove and carry out to the cockpit. (not being in the engine

On my Super Maramu the mizzen could not benfurled propetly anymore - 3/4 turns worked ok, the about 1/4 turn I had to help turning the foil with my hand. When taking the gear box apart, I found that

Thanks for the reply Bill. The "idle" is not very clear. It turns out I only moved the rinsing valve 90 degrees. It doesn't open until about 135 degrees from the "seawater" position. Oddly, I have a

Do not turn ON the Dessalator for rinsing. Have the pressure valve all the way counterclockwise. The reason the water pump was not running is: You are using water pressure from the accumulator tanks

Francisco, Good, I am glad that it worked for you. Tell us how much you paid for the part. Bill Rouse BeBe Amel 53 #387 Sent from my tablet +1832-380-4970 USA Voice Mail
