An auto siphon, also called a jigger will empty a 5 gallon container in less than a minute. I would only dispense direct to tank with fuel I trust otherwise I'd pre-filter it through a Baha Filter.

In early model SMs the Shore/Generator relay switch box was located in the Lazarette, in later models behind the generator. Attached is a page from my Amel Book showing both locations. It is important

One thing that this contactor failure illustrates is that they do have a lifespan - whether it is a contactor used in standard domestic, marine, or other purposes. Additionally, I have noted

Bill, Mine is locatedbehind the genset. I may have been relocated by the previous owner when the CharlesIsolation Transformer was installed in the lazarette. With bestregards, Mark

Thanks for the explanation Mark. I rarely connect to shore power (650W solar panels), but I’ll try to replace it with an equivalent automatic switch. But out of interest, if you install a manual

This LC1 D25008 is the switch that changes you automatically from shore/gensetpower. The wiring of this device can be somewhat confusing to the novice. Ifyou are unsure, get an electrician. The

Hi yesterday I connected to 220V shore power, sockets worked as usual. Then I switched on the 220V battery charger and aircon. A few seconds later all 220V power stopped and there was a burning smell

Seems a strange question to ask - but Do all SM's have a extraction fan over the cooktop - I seem to see some pictures with them - and others it is hard to tell. Or was this an option that only some
