Hi, my Sidepower bowthruster seems to loose oil. I'm regularly refilling the small plastic tank that sits next to it and it regularly empties again. Did somebody on this forum have the same

You never really want to run it any slower or it freezes up Cheers Courtney Trippin

I believe that somewhere about mid-production of the A-54 the Climma Compact units changed from capacitor-controlled fan speed to a semiconductor-controlled fan speed. If you have the "before

Not much help but if the fan keeps running at max speed it’s typically a semiconductor (MOS-FET, Power transistor, etc.) that has given up and acts like a full conductor. You could try to trace the

The A/C fan speed in the master cabin does not change and stays at 4, regardless of the setting. I’m suspecting a capacitor issue, but was wondering if anyone has seen a troubleshooting guide that

Agreed. Although with practice it is possible to back an Amel without a bowthruster, in tight marinas with cross wind, it is not wise. In The Med, I consider the bowthruster, a safety item that

The fact that a SidePower dealer in Croatia had 2 solenoids in stock should be a sign to all SidePower owners that it is a really good thing to have one of these available to replace when the original

Update. The cleaning and service of the main solenoid was only good for a few uses. It stopped working again. I took apart again and the carbon buildup was back. I tried leveling the contacts by using

I attached the Mastervolt BATTERY temperature sensor to the outer casing of the MV110 amp alternator and wired it to the Alpha Pro II alternator temperature sensor input. Mastervolt techs said this is

Hi Eric, tool I used to remove wheel. regards. -- Slavko SM 2000 #279 Bonne Anse in Portoroz

Eric ,My center wheel plate was made of aluminum and came off easily, the wheel itself took a lot of pressure to remove. Pat SM Shenanigans

Hello Dean, the Mastervolt alternator temperature is 115° C after one one hour at 95 A and stay at 115°. I put an alternator temperature sensor but it does not work very well because i put it on

Mine had nothing except the 2 screws holding it on but still needed a small pick to pry under the edges to remove it. Alan Grayson SM 406 Ora Pai Ft Lauderdale Get Outlook for Android

I am planning to take the wheel, the main furling gearbox, and the outhaul gearbox off of Kimberlite and have them powder coated . Then the wheel will have new leather installed. The Amel plate in

FYI, Maude got back to me last week with a replacement. It appears that Amel has switched from a plastic to an aluminum ball joint. I’m going to attempt to fabricate my own on a lathe using

Hi Bob, The wiring diagram of the “B” panel is in the back of the parts manual. Fair Winds, Eric Sm 376 Kimberlite

Agree with Danny as a first intervention and prevention. We very occasionally squirt Corrosion-X right into the starter key hole and ditto for the battery switches, etc. Worth doing first and no

Danny, That is good advise, and I have not done that nearly enough. I will start to make that part of my routine . Yes , it is Diane's birthday ,leaving for dinner in a bit. She just told me Yvonne
