I have had my SM 2000 #391 hauled in my absence. During the process the knuckle in the base mount of the SSB whip antenna installed by Amel was broken. Does anybody know if this can be unscrewed from

Thanks, Bill and Dimitris, . For non-techies like us your efforts are hugely appreciated. Ian and Judy, Pen Azen, SM 302 Ragusa To: amelyachtowners@... From:

On Oct 18 I said that I was going to put together an Amel Facebook page by sometime in December. I started the page in October, but before making it public, I wanted to upload many of the files and

Thanks Dave, OK no Dacron. We talked with at least three different sailmakers and we have a good offer from UK Sailmakers for DCX, triradial cut. Hydranet is still an option. We will keep in mind you

Peter The advent of 24 V Pido twos is relatively new our older 802 I COM's are 12 v. Keeping in mind there are a lot of SSB radios that are used as ham radios running off of 12 V in People's homes.

Hello Terry, If you Google for Alphatronix 24/12 volt DC converter you willsee that they do,as I said, make them,called Powerverters and in differentamperages. As I said they are reasonable in price

Eric, Funny, I had the same problem with that little switch...I just hot wired it and turn things on with the breaker. I do have plans to replace it again with something substantial. The little switch

Bill, I forgotto mention that the power switch on my Icom has gone bad twice. Ifinally gave up trying to jury rig the little switch and installed asubstantial switch in the case next to the switch.

You'd have to ask ICOM......

Peter, I think (not 100% sure) that 24 volt SSB's are relatively new on the market...BUT, good question. Bill BeBe

In the midst of this very interesting debate on transformer grounding etc - can someone tell me why we have 12v and not available 24v Icom SSBs? Peter Peter Forbes Amel 54 -Carango - #035 Goçek

Eric, I checked again. When you check you will have to remove the Amel "thumb screws" to be able to pull out the Icom 24 to 12 converter in order to see the back. The ground lug was not connected by

Bill, I haveall Raymarine on Kimberlite, Also notconnected to the boats bonding. I amjust puzzled about the Icom GND lug on the back of the power supply. I willinvestigate when I am on

Eric, None of the instruments, Furuno GPS, Radar and SSB, or the Icom 24v-12v converter or grounded to the vessel grounding system on BeBe, #387. I think the main reason that you want "isolation" is

The onlyreason I can think of needing an isolated ground on the ICOM converter is thereis a lug on the back of the unit for battery positive, Battery negative and astud marked GND. I only notice this

Dear Terry & Dena: When I purchased my Icom SSB and Pactor system for installation on my my Amel SM when it was being built new in 2001, I purchased a complete turn-key system from an outfit in

Still don't see the need for an isolated 24-12vdc converter. If you look at the electrical schematics in the Amel manual, the 24vdc -ve connections on all devices go to the battery bank -ve.
