Good morning, Yes all 3 units are the same and have the same capacitors. Last time I changed mine was in 2013, then now last week. All you need to do is time to time check the Micro Farrah reading of

Hi Ian. You may have noticed a while ago my post re damage caused by over turboing the tmd22 when the waste gate freezes. It caused the death of our tmd but only after much expense based on bad

Sorry group to pile onto this topic however, this evening I found the forward stateroom filled with smoke. After examination of the AC unit, one of the fan capacitors had a big hole in it. I also

Bill, Thanks. I, too, like all the features that you highlight. It's almost as though Volvo have been listening to the sailing community ( surely a first ! ). For the time being we we are

Ian and Judy, I have no personal experience with the D2-75, but it does look like a good match for the SM. I like the all mechanical operation. I like the low end torque. I find this to be the

And if that relief valve fails to close all the way due to a bit of debris or a weak spring it can lead to low oil pressure, especially at low rpm. The oil pumps on most all engines will produce way

Peter, Did that price include panels, regulator and installation? Cheers Dean Amel 54 TBD

Tony, I paid $6,000 in 2013. Excellent product worked well in my circumnavigation. Peter Forbes Carango Amel 54#035 Grenada in hurricane cradle

Bill, As far as I know, all engines with pressurized oil systems also have a pressure relief valve which bypasses the excess oil at a preset pressure. I can tell you that if the valve gets stuck

I do not believe the D3-110 has any adjustment for oil pressure. It does have a "safety valve," but I am not sure of that valve's function. I would eliminate #1 before investigating others. CW Bill

Many thanks John - this was useful. Tony. 54 no. 102

Hi Tony, Several of us have recently purchased arches from Emek. I am sure others will share their experiences. I have a Super Maramu and paid $4250 for the arch without electronics. Shipping to

Thanks bill. We are approaching Chania in Crete. We have been motor sailing for the past almost 4 hours and no issues at cruising RPMS. (1350 -1500). I have located the oil pressure sensor but cannot

I believe Emek marine in Gocek, Turkey fabricates an excellent rear arch for an Amel 54 - this provides support for several solar panels and doubles as davits for a RIB. Does anyone have any idea of

My guess in order of probability: 1.) The oil pressure sender needs cleaning and/or replacing, or has a loose or worn wire. 2.) There is a problem with the computer 3.) The oil pump needs to be

Hi everyone; We left Kythera this morning to head to Crete. About 15 minutes out of Kythera we had sufficient wind so we backed out the engine RPMs from about 1500 to Idle to shut off the engine. We

I would like to thank everyone for their helpful feedback regarding my inquiry of Super Maramus. This is a great resource, and I imagine I’ll be asking for more advice along the way! James

Thank you Bill. Exactly my concern: if half the wires to the temp sensor are broken off, and the genset computer hasn't figured it out, or someone has disabled the function, then what good is it to

Fernando, I don't understand, or maybe I am confused or wrong...or, all of the above. I believe that the exhaust elbow temperature sensor has a normally closed switch that opens at about 90c. If one

Hello, Our sensor, marked F230 402-370 0013, was found failed (one of the wire terminals broken off) during an Onan inspection in Italy, and the part would have taken weeks for express delivery from
