Re: DC DC starter battery charger on Amel 55 fuse sizes
I thought about that but then why use a 25A charger, the whole thing would be pointless. The charger puts out 25A, the wiring supports 15A, use a 15A fuse and pop...
The unknown on my side is how long

Re: Electric shock from the windlass
Since there is no connection to 240VAC in the windless circuit, I fail to see how toggling the windless switch could result in a 240VAC short? It is much more likely to be a 24VDC issue, which is not

hi Craig, Bill, Nick,
I understand from your words that you all seriously care about my safety in case we are talking about 220V AC, and I sincerely appreciate your attention. But no, it never

Re: DC DC starter battery charger on Amel 55 fuse sizes
I know nothing about Amel specific electrics, but a fuse can also protect the wiring. Is it possible the cabling is only rated at 15A? The danger with uprating the fuse is you could create a fire risk

DC DC starter battery charger on Amel 55 fuse sizes
My generator wouldn't start last weekend so on poking around, the starter was weak. I could start the engine and then I could start the generator. On checking why the starter was weak, the DC-DC

Re: Raw Water Manifold Failure - A54
We had a complete manifold made out of stainless steel by EMEK Marine in Turkey for our SM.
Beautifully made, I think this is the answer.
Not sure if SM and 54 manifolds are the same, if not it surely

Re: SM2 Roller Reefer Guide Rods
Hi Dave,
While it could be a jammed swivel, it is absolutely the classic pretzel you get by furling the genoa without removing the balooner halyard and its releasing "mouse" from the furling

Re: Raw Water Manifold Failure - A54
I do not think that the manifold corrosion is directly related to the bonding system. Copper will eventually fail in a salt-water environment, which is what I experienced.
You can verify the problems

Re: Electric shock from the windlass
Hi Paulo,
You really need to make sure this is not a 240v AC problem as that is dangerous.
Turn off the inverter
Disconnect the shore power
Do not run the generator
Then see if you still have the

Re: Raw Water Manifold Failure - A54
Thanks for the heads up about the manifold.
Does premature corrosion of the copper manifold indicate a possible disconnection from the bonding system and/or an electrical leak?
Thanks
Thomas

Re: SM2 Roller Reefer Guide Rods
It was caused by the swivel jamming. Now you'll need to determine why it jammed.

Re: New rub rail inserts
Yes, I have seen it. In each case it was traced back to blasting with sand, media and/or very high high water pressure. Yard workers love to crank the pressure up high enough to remove "barnacle

SM2 Roller Reefer Guide Rods
As I restepped my mast, I found that not one, but both of the guide rods on the top of the roller furler were bent like pretzels. I am somewhat mystified as to what would create that amount of force

I would love to get new rub rails inserts, but stuck in Thailand, and will not get close to the Caribbean for WHO knows when. Currently re-gelcoating the Rub Rail, and Gel Coat for the red boot

Re: Sore head?
I still hit my head from time to time and thankfully it's a lot softer these days.
I split a section of pool noodle lengthwise and it pretty much just snaps into place.
Lasts several months before

Barry,
Yes it is the same. I don’t want to cast aspersions but I can say that Stuart from Iguana Marine in Grenada managed to fix a fridge that was not fixable in Le Marin.
