Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] RPMs

Mark, Thanks for getting back . I used the same and correct filters. I observed that the linkage moved forward well beyond the 2200 point , but no further increase in rpms. The engine seems to run smoothly , if it were an injector would you have a noticeable telltale ? Is the fact that in neutral It gets to 3000 rpm mean anything?

Here is a great
page to give you some additional thoughts: https://www.sbmar.com/articles/understanding-low-power-troubleshooting/
White smoke is
usually a sign of not enough air intake or failing fuel injector(s). However,
white smoke is usually pretty noticeable. You say “a little white smoke” so I
would not think it is an indication.
Also, another
common issue most people do not check is the throttle linkage. Can you get RPM
if you go down to the engine an manually move the throttle?
Else, I would
start with the fuel system and work from there.
“replaced both
fuel filters” did you replace them with the same type?
Tubo failure
will usually pump out black smoke.
With best
regards,
Mark

Paul i think its not the right time to ask the forum about your ac problems. Read the manuals google it go to a ac tec and dont' ask the forum with your little problem. Because its a brodcast forum. We should only post intelligent questions, things everybodey can solve itselve should not be posting on this forum.

Re: Chain counter
greatketch@...
Kent,
Just to be sure it's clear, on our boat both the sensor AND the display units were changed to Quick models. The Quick sensor is a hall effect switch, not the inductive sensor as on the original chain counter. I am pretty sure the Quick sensor would not be compatible with the original display unit. My understanding is that the original sensor is a small coil, and as the magnet in the gypsy goes by it generates a current pulse, which is what counted. In the Quick unit, the magnet closes a switch which what is counted for each rotation of the gypsy. The Quick sensor just needs a pair of wires from the sensor to the display unit. Any pair of wires will do. No need to pull new ones. The current model chain counter from Quick (the CHC1203) looks pretty much identical in function to ours (CHC1202) but with more modern esthetics and display. It is available from QuickUSA The Quick unit is more than just a counter, it can be (but does not HAVE to be) wired to the windlass control relays as well. It is a smart controller, and has some cool features, but I find I rarely use them. Bill Kinney SM160, Harmonie Deltaville, Virginia ---In amelyachtowners@..., <karkauai@...> wrote : Hi Bill K. All, I see that you used a Quick replacement of the sensor for the chain counter. Did it require running a new cable? I'm not sure if my display/brain is any good (looking into that now). If not, is there another model that works that can be obtained in the US? Kent SM243 Kristy Annapolis

Hi Bill, Since Paul has Super Maramu, he probably has the 3 capacitor unit. Isn’t it odd that all 3 capacitors are bad? I would think that it would work on at least one speed. I had a similar problem on Kimberlite and it was a bad thermistor mounted near the connector strip in the control box. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Chain counter
Hi Kristy, I have one that was in the process of being installed before Irma hit. So I don't know if he completed the installation (or I still have a boat). I bought the Quick CHC1203 from Amazon for $399. You might be able to find it cheaper. I wish I could tell you more. Good Luck, Chuck

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Main Mast Deck Light
Ryan Meador
I bought one of these bulbs on Amazon shortly after I bought my boat. I put it in the mizzen fixture, but I believe it is the same fixture as on the main mast. Considerably cheaper than the alternatives being mentioned here. I can't vouch for how long it lasts, but I can tell you it has worked great for about a month. Ryan SM 233 Iteration Boston, USA

Depending on the year of manufacture, the Control Unit (black box) has either 3 fan speed capacitors, or 1. It is most likely a capacitor problem. Do you know if you have 3 fan capacitors or 1?

Also he is posting Alex's post from St Martin on a Cannes net so more I'll know of his and others dilemma. He told us this morning the government is sending foreign legion to restore order. His email is below: J'ai poste sur mon facebook et sur celui de mes amis de St martin mais pour l'instant c'est le chaos à St Martin.L'armee et 500 légionnaires et des commandos de police arrivent aujourd'hui à St Martin pour sécuriser l'île.C'est horrible et nous le plaignons beaucoup.Nous sommes en FRANCE et ne pouvons rien faire d'ici.J'ai envoyé à AMEL votre message et le témoignage d'Alex,COURAGE GAYLE NOUS VOUS EMBRASSONS ET ESPÉRONS DES JOURS MEILLEURS POUR VOUS REVOIR À ST MARTIN.
