The one way valve is an interesting possibility. I'm assuming if it were clogged with a bunch of gunk, it would malfunction. Looks like another busy day. Steve

Hi Bill and Judy, Thank you for the detailed information. It appears we will be in Key West until late next week waiting for the 20 to 30 knots of NE wind to subside allowing us to continue up to

Yep your right. Regards Capt Richard Piller

Does the system have a check valve?

Hello Richard, Have you used SIRI for the last reply? Could you reread your post? Not very intelligible. Jean-Pierre New to me SM (SV Eleuthera) :-) Jean-Pierre Germain, Chief Pilot, Cozuro

Steve, Have you checked the accumulator tank behind the water heater? I had the same symptoms 5 years ago and found a leak in that accumulator tank. If it is leaking there, you may not notice as a

Well the pressure drop has to be from a leak. Assuming you do not have an external leak, the water is making its way back to the tank quickly. A bad check valve would cause this.

Hi Richard, I've been thinking about doing the same thing, but had one question. I've heard the accumulator/expansion tank on the hot water heater can cause the on demand pump to behave a little

Hi when we encountered issues with tank type pumps we replaced the whole mess with a simple on demand water pump. That way we go steady pressure all the time save some energy and never had issues.

It drops and the pump comes back on in 3 seconds.

How quickly does the pressure drop?

My wife and I are in the process of bringing our new/old AMEL SM (072) from Rio Dulce , Guatemala to Brunswick, GA. We are currently on the hook in Key West waiting for weather to head north, and our

Jim, The issue with early in-mast furling units is that they were made for Amel by a company called Nirvana which has been out of business for decades. As a result, you can't just order parts and

Does anyone know each end-to-end length of the main and mizzen masts on the SM2K model? Thank you. Bob

Hello everyone, After 4 years of ownership I decided to sell my Amel. As far as I know it is the cheapest Supermaramu on the Planet. Price is €155000.- and the boat is described in
