Data: Mercoledì 22 marzo 2017, 21:45 Hi Antonio, On our Santorin we kept the original Perkins water/diesel separator and added the Parker Racor fuel between that and the engine.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Raymarine Autopilot problem
Paul, Totally agree about checking connections before condemning the autopilot. Include breaker and battery switch. Did you check voltage with autopilot load applied? That is, attach your multimeter to the leads going to the autopilot motor, then turn on the autopilot and initiate a 30 degree or so turn and read the voltage while the autopilot motor is running.

Re: Raymarine Autopilot problem
It could be that the gears in the drive have failed...something is putting a lot of load on the drive to cause the over current situation...it is more than likely something to do with the linear drive and / or motor You will have to dismantle it to find out Where are you ? Is it likely there is a Raymarine technician nearby ?? Good luck Cheers Alan Elyse SM437 |

Raymarine Autopilot problem
Today our Raymarine Autopilot failed, when in Auto position it returned to stand by with the message current limit. I have meassured the voltage and no problem it was well over 25 volts, we also had the engine running at that time so voltage should be OK, and probably the current as well. All fuses was ok.
We have the course computer S3G and ST 7000 control head. Anyone experienced the same problem? Or known how to fix? Paul on SY Kerpa SM 259 currently in the BVI |

the information you posted in 2011 seems to indicate that if you connect the output to either + or - you get NC or NO operation.... In any event we did what Bill suggested and it's been working fine for 4 years now. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437 |

Hi fellow Amel Owners:
I have reviewed the most recent discussions about replacement of the inductive chain counter sensor on the SM windlass. By the way per the manufacturers specification sheet the MTTF (mean time to failure) is 1076 YEARS, I don't think so. At any rate the last time I replaced mine was 8 years ago using the then available IB5076 sensor. I am aware that the IB5076 originally used by Pochon is no longer in production. It was a three wire, cable-lead, DC NPN (transistor type), 34 mm diameter by 72 mm length sensor who's output functor is "Normally Closed". There are several alternatives available:
IB5072 which is identical to the original but it is a "Normally Open" output function. AND IB5124 which is identical to the original except it is a two wire unit that has terminals rather than a cable for connection (posing a bit of a sealing issue), is listed as "normally open/closed programable" (whatever that means) and that Bill Rouse of BeBe indicates he has installed leaving the brown wire disconnected and it works.
I suspect that the Pochon display just counts plus and minus pulses and it really doesn't matter if it is normally open or normally closed, but rather just each change in voltage will trigger the counter display.
MY QUESTIONs: 1. Has anyone installed the IB5072 inductive sensor (three wire) and can report on if it functioned normally? I need feedback specifically on the 5072 sensor. 2. Does anyone have a schematic or wiring diagram for the original three wire hook up as installed by Pochon? I am curious why they had three wires when it seems the brown wire isn't needed or is tied to the black wire (both being L+) per the Efector diagrams.
As usual we are here trying to reverse engineer this system a bit.

Hi Mark,
I just ordered the brushes for my Leroy Somers furling motor ( SM 150).
Maybe it´s the same size. I found a shop in Germany and bought four of them for 58,52 EUR.
The shop is: J. Mack GmbH & Co. KG
Gießener Str. 49
D-35305 Grünberg
Contact: info “at” mack-kohlebuersten.de
Phone: 0049 – ( 0) 6401 210 6090 Fax: 0049 – ( 0 ) 6401 4910
The size of the brushes I bought is 16 mm x 6 mm x 22 mm.
There is a website under www.mack-kohlebuersten.de where they offer all sizes of brushes.
Maybe I can order the brushes for you and bring it to Carloforte end of April.
But you have to send me an e-mail, soon, because ordering the brushes needs about 2 – 3 weeks.
Hope this helps, see you soon

Hello all,
I just ordered a couple of lights from Amel. Maud send me this info: Please find here attached a photo of the green and red light indicators. The price is 5.90 euros/unit without taxes and without transport. The dedicated 24V 1 W light bulbs are also available. They are supplied in bags of 10 (17.20 euros without taxes and without transport. I am very sorry but the light for the gas is not available from us anymore. See photo attached.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Brush size for Leroy Somer main sail furler motor
Hajo Hille
Hi Mark,
I just ordered the brushes for my Leroy Somers furling motor ( SM 150).
Maybe it´s the same size. I found a shop in Germany and bought four of them for 58,52 EUR.
The shop is: J. Mack GmbH & Co. KG
Gießener Str. 49
D-35305 Grünberg
Contact: info “at” mack-kohlebuersten.de
Phone: 0049 – ( 0) 6401 210 6090 Fax: 0049 – ( 0 ) 6401 4910
The size of the brushes I bought is 16 mm x 6 mm x 22 mm.
There is a website under www.mack-kohlebuersten.de where they offer all sizes of brushes.
Maybe I can order the brushes for you and bring it to Carloforte end of April.
But you have to send me an e-mail, soon, because ordering the brushes needs about 2 – 3 weeks.
Hope this helps, see you soon
Hajo
