We started the aft cabin Climma heater today and it's not working. It starts to heat, based on my hand on the air outlet, but after 10 seconds or so blows only cold air. So the heating element (we

Hi all, I ordered someof the buttons below to have as spares in case the replacement buttons Iinstalled from Vetus fail. However, when they arrived I found they are way toosmall for the holes in

My SM does not have the off switch in front of the pin, and does have the little locking post that keeps the pin in. I thought the off switch was added with the SM2K. Ryan SM 233 Iteration Boston,

Thank you to all who responded. I'm going to leave the adjustment as is and continue to use the cable grab method for inserting the pin. It makes sense to me to keep the tension off the cables and

Courtney, Bob here from Gallivant, 54 #31. I would like to talk to you on the phone if you can about the D3. You can reach me at 585.409.9869 Gallivant Amel 54 #31 currently on St. Thomas

Paul, It is correctly adjusted if you have to pull the wire to raise it about 10mm. About 11 years ago I discussed the adjustment of the wire with the Amel Service Manager in the Caribbean...he said,

Eric - thanks for getting a list together. Jessica and I are looking forward to meeting the others when we head down to Le Marin. We will be there 12/15 - 22, 1/9 - 15, and 2/23 - 3/4. We’ll be

Tom, The correct adjustment is where you ended up. The last few millimeters of lift certainly should be by hand, squeezing the wires together. This makes sure the pin is actually taking the load of

Paul, On mine (which is older and might be a bit different...) the primary adjustment is where the cable attaches to the top of the motor. If you loosen the jam nut, and pull the pin that hold the

Bill, I am also adding a block of some plastic like nylon or something more shock resistant to the area above the locking board. In this way when I pull up the companionway it will be in the exact

Tom, Thank you for your response. I have been using the cable grab method to insert the pin, but what is the procedure to adjust the lift mechanism? All the best, Paul Stascavage SM #466 - s/v
