Steve, My Amel Super Maramu has 12 house batteries with a capacity of about 690 amps at 24 volts. The alternator is also a dual belt 175 amp alternator. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi, Do you know the number of the Renault paint that Amel used on the late model super maramus? Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376 Kimberlite _____ From:

Pat, Good to hear from you too. It's possible your 60L/hr watermaker draws little enough amperage but I'd doubt it. On my boat, the 140L watermaker draws 13A @220V, which works out over 2800 Watts.

Thanks Pat. Let me know if you are interested in the used 220 v 50 cyc water maker parts in the mean time I will check with Tom the unit owner. Richard ________________________________ To:

Steve, Good points and I have thought it may not make sense. If the engine alt. is not adequate to more than produce the neccessary amperage ,than it makes no sense at all. I was guessing the genset

Richard, Got mast off the boat with no problems last week.You remember the jambed main halyard problem. It turned out it was not the halyard itself but the bolt that comes out from the furler that

Hi Pat, How's life on the Sassafras? I'm not sure if this is of help, but my rationale is that at some point(s) in the day we have the genset running anyway for other appliances, and it's a lot more

Hi Pat the flow at the bulk head valve does not represent production only sampling. Maybe the best rule of thumb may well be when you make less than 50 l as measure on the float stick change the

Thanks for gasket info, I will take another run at it.How about the flow meter though, can I operate without it.Could I occasionally take a timed measurement of how long it takes to produce a

The seat gaskets are available at most plumbing supplies that deal with high pressure boilers. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376 Kimberlite _____ From:

There are special gaskets that seat the high pressure tubing. I am sure you can find a cheaper fix. Fair Winds Eric _____ From:

Eric, I did buy some glass tube , but could not get it to seat perfectly in the unit.I also broke the float. This all happened because I failed to winterize the unit in time winter a couple of years

If I remember correctly the watermaker draws about 13 amps while running and a lot more to start the motors. That would be a big inverter to start the watermaker. It would also draw about 3000 watts

I make water most of the time my engine is running. My 60 l/h dessalator high pressure pump is 24v, unlike the 220v AC pump for the 160 l/h dessalator. I've noticed that the watermaker uses about

Richard, I was wondering if the engine alt. had enough output to keep the batteries up while running the watermaker pump,through an inverter, without overstressing the alt. If the SM 2000 starts

Pat, what is the out put voltage of your gen set? If it is from Amel it is more then likely 220v. 50 cycle... Further the 220V from an inverter going to a 220 v high pressure pump. will NOT strain

Many of you have a stronger electrical understanding than I do so.With the price of diesel, running the genset to produce 60 liters an hour got me thinking. Would it be possible to supply the 220v.

Hi our Maramu #135 had a detachable stay for a stay sail which we used in heavy air without issue w/o runners. One can only guess as to how much stress was put on a rig and in what conditions. We
