Wolfgang, könntest Du mir noch ein paar Informationen geben, wie Du das Problem final gelöst hast? Habe das gleiche Problem. CHIARA liegt in Antigua und ich werde in ein paar Tagen Richtung Europa

Hi Pat, on our boat (Yamar 4JH-3HTE) we usually run about 5F hotter at power vs normal cruising rpm of about 2000. Always below about 182F on the gauge. We also see an increase of a few degrees in

I posted a photo of the helm Electronics on Wanderer, to give people ideas about how to add new instruments and chartplotter. I got the idea to put the NavPod close to the steering wheel from Steve

Hi Christine, on our 2007 A54 the 12,000 BTU Climma islocated under the settee in the salon. By your description it is hard to tell if you have physically seen thisunit or just a picture. If I were

I wrote in the forum earlier this year about problems with the bow thruster, which were solved with a new limit switch and a new crimp-on DC power connector to the on-off switch at the helm. It has

We have had a similar issue with our Passerelle when it first occurred we had the hydraulics checked all fine with a lot of corrosion X and a little elbow grease we were able to get it to swing out

All I know is they are notoriously finicky, break commonly and in the right circumstances very useful! If you find a reasonable solution please let us know. Similar circumstances exist on Our boat.

Hi all, The passerelle on my AMEL 54 #149 CHIARA is no longer working after a couple of month of not operating the boat. It goes UP and DOWN (so obviously the pump and one valve is working), but not

Mark, I realize that temperature increases with an increase in rpm. I was getting laser readings of 210 at the thermostat while only at 2000 rpm , as a result I did not operate higher than that , but

Pat, It is normalfor the temperature to increase a little with the increase of RPM or load.However, it should not cause the engine to exceed specs or overheat. Check theoperating manual for normal

My 2008 Amel 54 is equipped with Climma Compact 12 R EH units. The compressor works but the fan that is supposed to regulate fan speed does not start. I suspect that one or more of the 2 capacitors on

Bill, Never having the elbow off , I never knew the interior design and the potential choke point for water flow . It had not been included in my thought process as a possible cause for elevated

Pat, The simple answer is that all the water that flows through the raw water system does go out the exhaust elbow. But like so many things "boatish" the simple answer might not always be 100%

I would like to find out from more experienced Amel owners if anyone has experienced a failure of the gooseneck, and if so, how did you jury rig a repair? Thank you to everyone. James Soteria SM2000

The short answer is... yes it can... When I worked as service manager for a charter company, we had a half dozen J-105s with cute little 2 cylinder Yanmars. They were all set up with the "class legal"

Mark, I have always insured that my impeller was in good shape and keep my heat exchanger clean. Excuse my ignorance , but does all the raw water pass through that channel ,I suppose it does . This

Pat, Any obstructionon the salt-water cooling side before or after raw water pump is going to impedeflow and cause the engine to run hot. So the answer is, yes. The most commoncauses for a

Hi pat. If it was blocked enough to significantly slow the salt water flow I guess it could. The fact that now the motor runs cooler seems to suggest that to be the case Regards Danny SM

I think my boat has been running hot for for a couple of years . I just ran it for about 45 minutes after launching and it ran much cooler than previously. The only thing I have done , is that I

Thank you, Bill. Needing an anchor ready to deploy sounds more likely than loss of a well-secured anchor. When I figure out my cable method, I'll post a pic or two. Kent SM243 KRISTY Kent
