Bill/Wolfgang, The three way valve (actually it is a 2-way) is in parallel with the solenoid. So the solenoid has no impact. I find the theory that the three way valve is the problem not very likely.

Wolfgang, If your A54 is anything like ours, there is a junction box behind the navnet3D screen at the chart table that distributes the NMEA from the GP-150 to the VHF&SSB. If neither are showing

Hi Wolfgang, You are correct to assume the GP150 has no connection to the Navnet 3D system. I just made a major update to my system and this is how I know. The GP 150 only feeds the VHF and in your

Wolfgang, I assume that you have the automatic rinse solenoid valve and also the manual ball valve to rinse the membranes. I am trying to remember but is it possible that the valve might be before the

Wolfgang, I assume that you do not have GPS SOG but probably have SOW (Boat Speed as reported through the B&G Hydra. It sounds like the likely cause is the Furuno GP-150 which is no longer made. I did

Hello to the group, 2. problem : Starting my Nav-electronics : Furuno GP 150 ( no failure), Autopilot ( later - no speed data), Navnet 3 D ( shows Lat/Lon and plotter working; Radar ? overlay not

Hello to the group, after 1 year away from ELISE - Amel 54 - I managed US - Immigration. Now trying to manual flush the Dessalator Watermaker - no flow. Martin from Dessalator/spain mentoined that

Pat, Thank you. Good Idea !!! Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

I am glad my suggestion might help; I used an air horn. It puts out a lot more pressure. The filter that Amel puts at the outlet inside of the fuel tank is an odd place to put a filter. Fair

Matt, Kudos for sharing this. Safety shortcuts are so easy to fall into and you posting this, from a super competent person, is a sobering message to all of us. I am curious, though, as to just how

I don't typically jump in on many stories but this one in particular made me want to say thank you. I'm sorry your lesson for us came at such a cost. I'm glad you are healing and that you shared the

Matt, I am so sorry to hear your story and so happy that you have recovered. I really appreciate you sharing your story. Very humbling. Of course, like most of us, I pushed things to the limits many,

Matt, Thank you very much for posting this. It is very important for all of us to take a few seconds to remind ourselves of the need for safety. I grimace from my own imagined pain every time I think

As some of you are aware, back in February I gutted the NMEA0183 network and instruments on Talia, and replaced them with a new set of B&G NMEA2K kit. The project took me 2 weeks, and was a great

Hello I've just seen your email on the main Amel forum. I have a SM and am very keen to learn more on how / where you have installed all the heating system? Kind regards Rob S/Y FORESIGHT SM#152 On

For what it’s worth I also think its a clogged exhaust elbow. Easy to remove and clean. Very similar symptoms on our Onan: steam but caught it before the shutdown scenarios started. There’s

High Barry, I was just wondering about your project to change the pulley on the 24v Leece Neville alternator to a micro v type. Have you done it and if so how is it going? I still have not been back

Based on the temperatures you gave I am convinced the white smoke is steam. Here is another photo showing how carbon can build up in the exhaust manifold and exhaust elbow. And even though the

I can never remember what white, blue or black smoke mean. Here's a good refresher from a Steve D'Angelo article last year in Cruising World. "White smoke from a marine diesel engine is one of the
