The fresh water system. One-way valve is brand new. I have traced the Caleffi valve and it goes to a manifold that leads to the expansion tank, fresh water flush (water maker) and then ultimately

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Batteries, combination parallel and serial
James,
Let me see if I can help you.
Your boat originally came with either 8 or 12 batteries which were Group 31. Someone replaced the 31s with 27s???
Remember, 2 each 12VDC 110 amp/hour batteries

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Caleffi Mixing Valve

Which pump are you referring to?
Cycling ON is sometimes leakage of the one-way valve.
The pressure gauge is easy to find and replace.

Re: Wiring path Info
Hi Amelians
I hope everyone is having a good season, wherever you are.
I am replacing the bow navigation light fixtures, and need some advice. I can't budge the cable that goes from the port bow

Caleffi Mixing Valve
Hey Everyone -
I have an issue where my H2O pump cycles on which tells me there is a break in pressure somewhere. I have begun tracing the lines to find the source. I have a Caleffi Mixing Valve

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Climma AC Capacitors
Makes sense. A run capacitor should last 40k hours or so. Start capacitors less so. I must just be on the lucky side that none of the many motor driven things I have repaired ever needed a capacitor

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Climma AC Capacitors
Bill,
It may be just the numbers. For instance a SM2k has about 20 capacitors that will completely fail within 10-20 years, and all of them will begin to get out of spec in a few years. A start

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Climma AC Capacitors
Hi Bill,
Remember the our boats are meant to work at 50 Hz we often plug into 60 Hz.
The motors run faster and the capacitors definitely do not like 60 Hz.

2. I'll check on the voltage issue you noted and see what I find. Did you pull the frig out and attach at

Thanks for the reply but the seal is well adjusted. I checked both with the dollar bill test and an infrared thermometer looking for cold spots.

Hi,
I just use a 35 dollar capacitor tester about every 6 months on every capacitor on Kimberlite. I always find a few that are low or too low to be operational.
