Dear amelians Today de Angelo Gandola gangaway suffered a very slight touch against the rock pier. It does not respond to wireless, nor to wired remote control. The circuit breakers are operational

Good catch Ryan. I thought he was talking about the Diruptor breaker. Best, CW Bill Rouse Amel Owners Yacht School +1 832-380-4970 | brouse@... 720 Winnie, Galveston Island, Texas 77550

Chris, On our SM, the main circuit breaker is also a GFCI. On mine, this is indicated by a label reading "I∆n = 0.03A" on the circuit breaker, which means it has a 30mA ground fault limit. Given

Chris, I agree with Bill, although I would note the Victron is the large 100amp charger and the Chargemaster is the small 40amp one - you may have reversed that in your post. A starting point may be

Chris, I am not sure that anyone can help you here with confidence. Almost everything you listed is not original equipment. For instance a big question for me would be: Who added this equipment and is

Good luck. Let me know how it goes. Sometimes the cause is evasive. I should have also said the most probable suspect after the macerator pumps is anything that you have added or changed AC or DC

I have been playing around at trying to identify the leak to no avail. So the next step will be as you suggest. I will disconnect the battery positive cables and the remove all the negative cables

My SM Pure Magic, hull no. 433, is presently connected to shorepower @ 220V, 60 Hz. During a recent inspection I was asked to operate the Onan genset, but overlooked switching off the small battery

hi Bill, Glad it doesn't apply to the SN ;-) Cheers

Craig, You are exactly right about leaving the helm for this exercise. I was single handed for a good portion of my 2018 season and got caught more than once not starting the genset in time. It

Hi Bill, Yes that looks similar to my board Stefan

Craig, I have known Amel to "learn" and add recommendations that did not exist 30 years ago. I don't know when the generator recommendation started, but it in fact does exist. Best, CW Bill Rouse

Nick, I did it by unbolting at least one of the main switches and pulling it aside. You can also remove the positive wire from the battery bank to the switch by unbolting it at the junction block

Hi John, I stand corrected, thanks. That you must leave the helm, go below and take, what?, 2-3 minutes to fire everything up, then return to begin docking strikes me as a procedure destined to be

Craig, I cannot speak to other models, but in the factory handover of the 55, they made it clear to fire the genset and both chargers prior to starting docking maneuvers. I am not on the boat

I just looked on my 55 and there is a 675A master fuse under the nav seat. I used my Fluke to measure the current coming out of that fuse and the bow thruster doesn't draw power from there when I ran

Hi Mitchell, Thanks!! We never had the oil seal...we have taken it apart many times in the 20 years we have her...that is unless it was removed before we bought her....:/ It would be a great help

Great, thanks, Pat. Kent Kent Robertson S/V Kristy karkauai@... USA cell: 828-234-6819

David my buttons face forward in the open cabinet just forward of the nav station they are white Courtney Trippin 54 #101

Craig, So the rub rail will only fit the SM and Santorin. Thanks for that info. Pat Shenanigans #123
