Nice! Great work. And we love the seat on the 50… it super comfortable. I’m 6’1”

Hi all, I am only 180 cm tall and, at 86 kg, of reasonably normal build. During the test drives with Mago del Sur (Amel 54), nothing was noticeable. Later, however, I realised that my sitting position

We have replaced both lower holding tank outlets and replaced with PVC tubes – both were straight copper tubes with very little inside the tanks – both very corroded and starting to leak. I

Nice job Kevin. I’m thinking of replacing mine soon, not because of corrosion but there seems to be a blockage in it. I presumed it was calcium and tried acid but to no avail. Next step would be to

Maxwell's equations explain everything perfectly. Don't they??

Nice work, the aft head will be in the same condition. The copper is not a good thing for black water, urine and copper will react, eating away the copper. Michael Nebo sm251

Eloi, It could be many causes, but if there were a leak in the hot water line below the floor of the aft head, it might explain the noise and the low pressure. This snippet from my book will help you

There might be a loose wire, probably a wire on the 12v/24v excite relay, or to or from that relay and the 24v alternator. Yours probably doesn't look exactly like this but has these components. Does

Hello, The pressure of the hot water in my aft head is way to low (shower and sink). In the galley and the forward head there is no problem. When the water flows, I hear a sound as if there where some

Happy Holidays, everyone. We are in W Palm Beach, FL after a boisterous sail down from the Chesapeake. 15ft bar at StAugustine with 8-10 ft seas kept us from stopping there. On the way down the belt

I agree that a bad solenoid is a possible cause of the symptoms described. The solenoid used on most Onans is a "two coil" type. One powerful "start coil" that pulls the plunger to the "run"

Good morning! I got a chance to take care of an aging problem while conveniently tied to the dock this week. About 6 months ago I noticed a small pinhole leak in the copper hose fitting in the

Try manually holding the fuel solenoid engaged while cranking and hold until generator is at speed. I have experienced this twice. Possibily low voltage to solenoid. Bill Cloudstreet

Kevin, When the generator is forced into running, does it produce power? If YES then flashing the field is not likely to help--the problem is elsewhere. Bill Kinney SM160, Harmonie Brunswick, GA, USA

Mark, For the forward head ball valve removal, I carefully used an oscillating multitool, then a mini-hacksaw that has a portion of the blade sticking out past the frame and finally a plain hacksaw

Hi Mark, I used a multi tool (vibrating blade). The main problem I had (other than getting the hose back on) was unscrewing the valve. It wouldn't budge and I was worried my 'large' shifting spanner

Mark, A Dremel worked fine for me. You may not be able to remove the hose before you remove the valve. As an alternative, loosen the clamps on the hose barb on top of the valve, then unscrew the hose

Hi Kevin, Glad to see youare back in Panama. It sounds likea fuel flow issue. If you bypassed the fuel shutoff solenoid and it works, haveyou tried replacing it. Dumb question but worth
