Eric , That is what logic would dictate , so I am concentrating on the switches , as to wires split there going to both engines. Thanks, Pat

Eric, That is what logic would dictate , so I am concertrating

Danny , I do have a different set up . One starter battery shared with both engines , installed next to the house batteries. I plan to bypass the switch today and see if its the switch . Problem is

I don't have the Yanmar Sincerely, Alexandre --------------------------------------------

Danny , That is a great ave. run about 190 . Kent drove up a couple of weeks ago and had dinner with us and discussed his plans. Don't tell him, but I plan to stow away in his aft lazarette . My

David, Thats interesting , because when the engine would not start over the last several months on occasion , I found if I switched the switches on and off several times the engine would start . I

Hi Danny That's pretty unusual I think. Most SMs have one start battery at the fwd end of the house bank under the sea berth which starts both the engine and the genset. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

Hi Pat, When I made mention of the negative circuit on the engine I did not know you had the same problem with the genset. I would check the battery first and then everything going to the genset and

Dear Amel community, We are toying with the idea of installing a second , back up, auto pilot on our older Maramu. The primary autopilot is a BandG connected to the original , bullet proof, rotary

Hi Pat. I think Ocean Pearl is set up differently. She has two starting batteries in the engine room, one each for the gen set and main engine. There are switches for each and a connecting switch to

Hi Pat, sorry you wont make NZ by sail, its a great voyage across the Pacific. Some great down wind sailing in big Pacific swells. We did 3200 miles in 17 days and had three days with no wind. These

I had the same problem on my 1989 Maramu (no generator) until I replaced the main battery on/off switches, which I obtained from Amel. The switches were tired and current wasn't passing through

Danny, Your correct , it does rule out a lot . What does it leave , that is in common to both. The positive out of the battery switch disconnect and the negative out of the battery switch disconnect .

Danny , Yea email is great .Diane and I would love to see you guys again, I thought it would happen under sail one day , but with four grandchildren in the last two years , it may have to be under

What do you have when two Amels are in sight of each other - no, not a race but a rendezvous. So Kent on Kristy and Craig&Katherine on Sangaris will be in St. Michael's MD, USA for the week (or

I got a new 155% made of Dacron. I got a heavier cloth than they would usually use for that size because it is inevitable that you will have it up when the wind gets way over 155% strength. I wanted

Hi Pat, That's the good side of problems, it gets us on to the forum to renew friendships. Great to maintain contact from so far away. Regards Danny

Hi Eric, I think this should be addressed to Pat though. I believe it is both the gen set and main engine not starting so that is likely to rule out starter motor connections, solenoids etc. Unless by

Hi Eric, I want to buy spare diods. Please give me information on the diods that are on the coil wire of the Valeo ground breaking solenoid. Vladimir SM # 345 "LIFE IS GOOD"
