This red knob is the emergency switch for the bow thruster on Amel 54#162. Inside the box are relay and fuse. Wolfgang

Hi Bill, We are interested. Ross and Donna SV Intrepid Kiwi SM2K #356 Currently in Finike, TURKEY Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad

Wolfgang, maybe this switch you are referencing is only on late model A54s. I do not have one to my knowledge. Where is it located on your boat? Thanks, Jamie Phantom, A54 #44

I was able to source the high pressure pump seal kit, for the duo 100, which is a CAT 277 pump. The distributor for CAT in NJ, USA is EDI distributors. Skip is the one I worked with, he was able to

A 24V motor suitable for the D60 watermaker is available from industrial sources in the USA for ~US$300. Parts for the CAT high pressure pump are also available from CAT. Dessalator's spare parts

I had a similar experience with my D60 when I replaced the membranes a couple of years ago. I used the fresh water pump to flush water thru the high pressure pump for a minute or two, then turned the

Hi Chris, We've done this three times on our SN which has a 6kw Northern Lights genset. Very easy to do with the ship's halyards and then you can swing it over the dock with the main boom - no

Hello to the group, One word about the BT emergency switch. Amel recommended to push (without load)the emergency switch regularly several times to prevent malfunction. There might be a risk of

Dean, When I was troubleshooting my 1 year old replacement BT motor, those were the words out of the mouth of the lead tech at Sleipner USA (IMTRA). They had some trouble with lifepo4 equipped boats

That’s exactly what Amel suggested we do when running the bow thruster. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Heinz, If I understand your problem, when you run the bow thruster, your instruments shut down, and the bow thruster stops after a few seconds. It sounds like the high power draw of the bow thruster

Hi Scott, In an Amel, yes, but not always. A fully charged 115Ah AGM (such as Rolls S12-128AGM) will deliver 67A for two minutes while retaining terminal voltage above 12V. Put 12 of these in a 2S6P

Chris, Not exactly what you were asking for, but hopefully some help nonetheless. Just a couple months ago we removed our MDKD 6.5 KVA generator from our engine room past our Volvo. Before the lift,

Dean, I agree that at higher voltages, current should just go down. That said, lower than 22v is very plausible with normal batteries. Put that big of a load on even a big lead acid bank and I would

Scott, that's an interesting point. The cabling to the BT is 70sqmm (according to Amel drawings), and the run must be about 10m or so? The voltage drop in the cable at say 360A (8kW@24V) will be

Chris, I guess you are the SM owner that I met at Bert Jabin's that had his masts down. If you ever need any pics of your masts I have a ton of them. Just ask me. ;) -- Mark McGovern SM #440

Hmm this picture looks surprisingly familiar--- no wait! that is my mast! lol

Yes, using a piece of the right size steel bar. It was a lot of pressure with a mechanical puller.

Does anyone know the correct size shackle to fit the spinnaker halyard bracket on the main mast on the SM? It's the shackle circled in the picture below: Thanks, Mark -- Mark McGovern SM #440
