Thanks for all the comments so far which are all most helpful indeed. We were just so pleased to discover non charging of the starter battery at our dock and not in an emergency situation. We will

Bill I guess we might need to be careful with option (2) as the -ve 12v and -ve 24v are isolated from each other and this option may connect them together. Andrew SM472 On 20 Sep 2015, at 14:26, 'Bill

Good morning Bill, Read with interested about the staring battery being a deep cycle. Any picture of the 6 amp 12 volt 230VAC battery charger on the bulkhead? Sincerely, Alexandre SM2K #289

While we are on the starting battery subject, I thought I would add something else... The starting battery on all Super Maramus from Amel came with a deep cycle battery. Most owners that I know

Colin, That is pretty amazing because 18.4 amps at 24 volts is about 440 watts of power. How large is your solar array? BeBe, #387, came with two short jumper cables. If the starting battery has lost

Good morning Colin, For the sea trial of my boat in 2012, the starting battery was weak. We open the battery storage, disconnected 2 batteries in series and use jumper cable (onboard from previous

Barry, Thanks for getting back to me. I see it will be necessary to take out the four bolts on the sides and the cross support in front of the C drive. I also plan to adjust the new mounts to the old

Thanks Bill I had not quite worked through a methodology for getting the correct pressure but this sounds like a sound approach. Andrew SM 472 On 20 Sep 2015, at 13:19, 'Bill & Judy Rouse'

Our house 8 batteries plus the starter battery are 4.5 years old and need replacement soon.Over the past 4 weeks we had not run the engine or generator as we were away and so pleased with the newly

Andrew, I left a few steps out. Find your high water pressure...point that your pump turns off. Turn off the pump and bleed the pressure by opening a galley sink tap. Then attach your bicycle pump to

Andrew, I am glad that this worked for you and I am sorry that I wasn't much more help. I am sure that you know this, but that needle valve is exactly like an automotive tire needle valve or a bicycle

So I found a similar dimension-ed expansion tank and ordered this from the jabsco shop in the UK - a Cleghorn Waring CW291 Accumulator Tank - 20 litres - this turned out to be identical in every

HI, Your photo of the stuffing box looks nothing like mine no similarity whatsoever. Different bonding, no wire connected through the nut Completely different rudder quadrant. Fair

Bill you are absolutely correct- the red light on the module indicates low DC voltage. I had battery bank problems recently and noticed that when this light went on the reefer shut down. Fair

Paul, The fan is two speed. The lower speed is quieter, but less efficient. I suppose Amel did this for some owners that objected to the noise. There is no red light indicator on SM 387, but possibly

Paul, I was lead to believe that it was just meant to lower the noise level in the saloon when someone is sleeping there. I always leave it on high. I also noticed that this reefer was not

We have the(we believe) original front opened refrigerator Below the refrigeratorthere is a switch that in one position a red lamp is lit and the fan goes downto lower speed in the other position the

Thank you!

Hi Mike, I am not sure if we share the same rudder post design, but I posted a photo of mine so you could compare. It looks like the factory drilled a hole in my white nut to thread seizing wire thru

Kent, my motto is “You don’t have to grow up if you don’t want to”, hence a life spent simply messing around in boats. And other fun pursuits. Have fun with your Amel. All The Best,
