Thanks again to all on this site for your assistance. To close this topic off (HELP - AMEL DRIVE) Island Pearl II is back on the water and after a solid 3 days of testing after her annual haul out,

Hi we never got more then 2800 out of ours. Clean or not. At present 2800 was tested again recently. No smoke just pushed the boat just fine. We generally run at 18-2000. It's enough and still loads

Thanks Ian & Rink Since Island Pearl II and Razor's Edge were built at the same time we would have the same batch of Yanmar switches. I will check that too. Kind regards Colin Streeter Island Pearl II

I had the same problem when we bought Razor's Edge 5 years ago. I had to stop the engine sometimes using the rubber switch under the solenoid switch. After a while also the solenoid switch didn't work

Will be away for a week or so (surgery) I will first try to determine if in fact, that was the solenoid and then I will send photos. It is almost next to the Valero solenoid and it is semi circular

Hi Eric, I also suffer from this problem. Would it be possible for you to put up a photograph of the layout highlighting the solenoid which you think might need to be changed. Thanks. Happy

Ian, I had a similar problem when I first bought Kimberlite. When I arrived in Lisbon the Amel tech ran a wire from the ignition to the stop solenoid. I do not like patch jobs. When I arrived in

Hi Eric, the resistor being the cause of the problem, if it is a resistor, was only a maybe. To take it out would have meant butchering the moulded cable and maybe causing more of a problem so I

Thanks for all the replies. Great pictures of cleaning the turbo Alexandre. I too have done all this but mine was much worse at the start. It was all gummed up and the waste gate valve was jammed

For now 2200 rpm. But Sunday, I cleaned the turbo (as well as exhaust elbow, intercooler, etc.), and this morning had a diver cleaning the prop. So hopefully Saturday, I really hope to get more RPM

2900 with everything clean. Veit SM215 ATMAN Sent from my vm iPad [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Ian, Why did you not just change the resistor? I would also like to se the wiring diagram and details. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376 Kimberlite _____ From:

Ian, I have the 160 liter. I agree about the stainless cross tube. Have emailed my Turkish phone to you. Bill

Hi Colin, OK will do. I will try and do a wiring sketch, photograph it and include it in the email. Cheers Ian SM414 Crusader

Bill, many thanks for this useful suggestion. Do you have the 160 l/h water maker? I can't recall my old 80 l/h but the 160 has two membranes in series with a stainless cross tube that connects the

Alexandre, I have a picture I will send you. I had the Joel Potter 'new to them' 101 course and did not move it. Best regards, Mark SM2K #275 www.creampuff.us Sent: Tuesday,
