Hi Pat, So what is the bilge ground strap connected to? I suppose the iron keel? Should we be looking at the continuity between the keel and the zincs? Mike Ondra Aletes SM#240 Rock Hall, MD

Thanks for all the information Pat, including the silver cathode. I heard Kent mentioning this, but was not sure of the use. Sincerely, Alexandre --------------------------------------------

Alexandre, Sorry I missed the second part of your question. I would check it at the strap in the bilge , that way it also confirms that you have continuity between the strap and the quadrant

Alexandre, The number 900 refers to potential, which is also measured using a multi meter , but you also have to have a silver cathode , expensive. It would probably be best for you to have a marine

If anyone is interested in our Bosch Dishwasher contact me at carlylelk "at" aol "dot" com. It fits under the sink in the Amel SM. Duane Wanderer SM#477

Good morning Pat, The way you describe it sounds very simple… at the next haul it will do that and you mentioned the number should be 900 (?) Do you have to check several items? quadrant then

Alexandre, Its pretty simple, take a wire and clip it onto the quadrant where the ground wires connect , or to the copper ground strap in the bilge , then connect the wire to one side of a multi meter

Hi Barry and Robyn, This is an easy DIY fix. See my posts on the subject. It was several years ago and the pump is still going strong . Basically you'll drill 3 or 4 small holes through the gear ring

I installed the Universal Advanced Digital Alternator Regulator Pro Reg DW (waterproof) PDARW a couple of years ago and wrote this up and published it on the forum in the documents area. The regulator

Good morning Pat, Thanks for sharing the information. Please forgive my ignorance, but how do you measure the continuity… I hate to admit it, I didn’t know about it when I did the last haul out

Good morning Bill, the product is alternator-to-battery-chargers up to 130A or up 400A in http://www.sterling-power.com or USA Location information - USA.com USA

Can you supply a model number or maybe a webpage link to the part you are considering? Bill Kinney SM #160, Harmonie Block Island, RI, USA “Ships and men rot in port." http://fetchinketch.net

Good morning, The toggle switch (bottom switch) of my Jabsco 37045 electric toilet is working intermittently. jabsco part 37047-1000 is for the whole switch (and doesn't seem to be available).

Before my boat went into back into the water yesterday , I checked for continuity between the copper strap and the zincs and I did have continuity. Later , I had two marine electricians on the boat

Good morning Ian, no problem at all, indeed thank you for your clarification, that, from now, I will use for ever. I need to charge AGM batteries but the engine alternator does not seem to haldle

Hi Rossienio, Forgive me if I sound pedantic, but not all Amel boats are the same. For that reason when messages are posted on this site there is a very useful custom of

Good morning to all of you. Someone knows this item, multistate split-charge of Sterling-power and know if it is suitable for Amel boats?

Tom, Most (all?) SMs have a 32 amp breaker that will prevent drawing more than that into the AC system. If you turn EVERYTHING on, you can exceed that, but then the onboard breaker trips. That's why

Hi Bill, I'm still trying to understand this. You state "It would not be possible to draw more than 30 amps of 220 volt power into an Amel SM, with everything working normally. " Does that mean that

Excellent! Glad every body agree! Alexandre --------------------------------------------
