Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Climma Heater
Hi Bill,
Thanks for your step by step explanation on how to fix it. I have been working away on it during the day and I only needed to remove the air pipe on top of the unit and the electronic box

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Battery replacment in the U.S.
Alex,
I have been able to buy the metric case Sonnenschiens from Fort Lauderdale Battery and Alternator, so maybe give them a try.
On a side note, I am working on a boat that had the US made

Alex,
I am 99% sure that your Amel 54 has a battery box with the same dimensions as a Super Maramu battery box. Your Amel came with what is referred to as GP31 or Group 31 batteries. There were most

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Water heater AMEL 54
Thanks every one for the responses.
In order to avoid further water heater issues, i.e. heat exchanger, water tank leaks etc., My plan is to change out the water heater completely. Does any one see

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Water heater AMEL 54
I agree - it is an easy DIY job. I replaced mine in 2013 and the boat was first launched in 2008. Oddly, the old element worked fine with the generator, but popped the 230V breaker when connected to

Hi Bill,
I'm afraid you might lose that bottle of wine. I've changed the capacitors, they were out of tolerance and the 2 mf's were reading 1.6 and the 3.15 mf was reading 2.5. So I changed them

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Climma Heater
We just had problems with our Climma, but on the AC side, not the heating.
I agree that the capacitors may be to blame, but I would also check the relays. I believe one of the three relays controls

OK... so if 80 °C is too much for the hoses, what is the recommended temp setting? On Quick water heaters, the thermostat allows a range which I believe starts at 40°. I have ours set

Bill, good point. The excessive heat is likely the reason the primary gasket carbonized when my water heater dumped.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Hot Water Heater Failure
My suggestion (and it is worth exactly what you paid for it) is no matter if it came with a tempering valve from the factory or not, it should have one. 80C water is not good for most flexible hoses
