Re: Amel Santorin Propeller Question
Lisa
The transmission on the Santorin is the same as the Super Maramu, well the big ‘C’ drive.
I presume you have the Perkins Prima M50? They have a Hurth gearbox between the Drive and the engine,

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Onan genset trouble code "seven blinks"
John
Don't look too hard for the water flow sensor that Eric spoke about. If your Onan is original and if nobody added one and also changed the PCB, you will not have one.
I am not sure of the year

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Onan genset trouble code "seven blinks"
What goes in must come out.
A couple ofhelpful hints:
Use dishwashing soap to install new impellers. Also the added benefit, when you seebubbles off the side of the boat you know the sea water

Hi John,
There is also a sensor in the intake water hose to the raw water pump. The hole in the sensor is small and frequently becomes clogged with rust, It is easy to remove, it just unscrews. It is

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Amel Santorin Propeller Question
Liasa,
I do not know anything about the transmission on a SN.
However the last thing in the drive chain is the transmission.
My guess I that your transmission is slipping.
I would have someone

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Amel Santorin Propeller Question
I just was plagued by the exact scenario.
Make sure the transmission fluid dipstick has an excellent seal.

Lisa,
I am just guessing but it is possible that the transmission on the engine is beginning to slip. How does the transmission oil look? Also is the transmission running hot when this problem

Thanks Craig. We’ve been investigating all day. Nothing on the prop and it looks good and clean. No black smoke or any other symptoms coming from the engine. The prop spins while we are looking at

Bill,
Thanks for your input and opinion. It seems that most of the Amels that I have seen to date seem to be down by the stern at least some but on the other hand I don’t hear many complaints

Have you dive to see how clean was your hull and propeller?
If not, is your boat may be more loaded than before?
