Hi Steve, The joystick is easily taken apart and you can clean up the contact points, which are surely the cause of your problem. I've done mine a couple of times over the years - just be gentle with

Steve, A year ago I had the same situation as described in your message. Amel Hyeres sent me a new toggle switch " manipulateur long ref. L22MW1010BRBR " and the problem was solved. Regards, Hans

Hi Alex, I agree. That seems to be the most likely cause, but was curious if anyone else has experience this, and what the fix was. Wish I had been smart enough to buy a new joystick switch as a spare

Good morning Steve, Feels to me it is the joystick. May be the rubber protection was cracked then some water sip in. May be removing it then cleaning and adding corrosion X will help… Sincerely,

When we left our slip in Sint Maarten a few days ago, when I used the bow thruster to port, it intermittently would not respond. If I continued to toggle the joystick back to center and the to port,

Thanks Bill R. I will work through the process of elimination. Based on Mark's and Bill K's input and Eric's detail I should be able to determine fix. Thanks to all for quick responses. Ben Ben and

Excellent detail. Thanks Eric. Sounds like you too have been down the Yanmar electrical trail. Hopefully i can get this fixed soon, but if not, I may knock on your door when you return.

Did you find the magnet under the lower side of the gipsy - this was rusty and destroyed and made the failure in ours and stopping the counter. Wolfgang SY Elise Amel 54 #162

Ben, A Yanmar regional manager told me that the number one issue with starting problems is a corroded start switch caused by leaving the key in the switch while the engine is off, and/or not using the

As you face the engine there is a large relay made by valeo to the left of the alternator. Both the start and stop solenoids get their battery ground from this solenoid when it is closed. On one

Bill, For us the full cockpit enclosure is a key element to full-year cruising N of 35°, as we do since 2014. The enclosure is composed of 7 zippered sections plus the standard Amel bimini and it

Whenever I have intermittent problems on systems that are not directly connected, the thought of a ground failure pops into my head... If you can bypass the switches on the panel, and still have

Ben, It does sound asthough you have a faulty key switch and/or start button. But to ensure theissue is in the panel, what happens when you bypass the panel to start theengine? Some people do this

My 54, hull #31, came with a Lewmar AA500C Windlass Control. It has never worked, and I finally decided to figure it out. I have seen multiple posts previously with reference to replacement sensors. I

Hi Majo, It's around 20 litres and you have some left over for three coats on the leading edges and the rudder .... Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

Hajo, It is very good to hear from you. Sometimes you can buy it in a 20 liter pale for less than four of the 5 liter cans. Two coats will take more than 16 liters and you can easily do a third coat

Hi everybody, I have to do the antifouling on my Supermaramu with International Micron 66. Does anybody know how much antifouling I need for two coats. Thanks in advance Hajo SM 150

I seem to have a mental block, is it O.K. To turn off my two master switches and yet have the battery charger operate ( in this instance "on" for a 24 hour period once a month?) I am pretty sure it's
