I would appreciate your experience on a good location for a Bench Vise on the SM. I remember seeing a photo of one mounted in the engine room on the chrome bar forward of the main engine, but I can't

Ben, That Onan generator will purposely shutdown under about 12 conditions if the computer senses a shutdown condition. It could also be a bad computer. Be sure to check or replace the two

Ben, I am not sure who is the Dessalator rep. Be sure to go into the Amel shop at la Marina du Marin and ask Caroline. I heard some not-good reports about watermaker service on an older SM. I am not

Hi All, I am replacing or repairing some of the woodwork in my 1986 Amel Mango. Does anybody have a recommendation on how to match the existing woodwork? Stain and varnish products that match? Also,

Thanks Bill. I will check out those condensers. I just don't know how generator can shut down without throwing a breaker? Ben Driver La Bella Vita CG #1120066 SM #347

Thanks Bill. I do have the manual. I'll look it up. Heading to Martinique today so I can get help from Dessalator rep there if needed. I believe it is Caraibe Marine. Ben Ben Driver La Bella

Thanks Bill

Hi again, On Kristy there is a 220 "Ground" connection to the case and thus to the engine block and the rest of the bonding system. See an earlier thread and post by Olivier in which he says that

Ben, When you press the rocker to Start the orange light blinks orange the turns to green when the Onan is running. That is the light that will blink an error code after a computer commanded

Hi Alan, yes, I know about the exeption with the Calpeda pump. Amel decided to add it to the bonding system and as they were doing it for a long time there seemed to be no negative response from the

Hi Bill Where would I see that error code? My generator does not have an LCD/LED Panel but just a start rocker switch with one red light. There is hour meter but no others Ben Driver La Bella

Well, we decided to ask the Onan agent in Levkas to have a look at our problem ( which I am convinced is a sticky governor mechanism, having the effect of failing to increase the flow of fuel when
