Thanks Bill, Walter, and Olivier. I think this is enough info to get the spares that I need. Mark Pitt Sabbatical III, ASM #419, Carloforte, Italy

Thanks friends for all details. But I'm not able to find a qualified electrician able to know the electrical system of an Amel boat, nor are able to figure it out myself. But I need to know if I have

Thanks Bill and Richard. Obviously beyond my pay grade. Kent

Bill, Yes, I assumed that Richard was talking about older boats. I simply asked where the seacock was located. You answered my question. Bill Rouse BeBe Amel 53 #387 Sent from my

Bill, Richard is talking about older boats that have a local seawater supply to the fore and aft heads. In both cases there are seacocks just outside the head in the “hallway”. In later models

Hi Kent, thanks for the warning. I have now installed the Sterling charger (without inverter) and without connection to the bonding system. But even so, when the charger is working, I find voltage

Kent, I am not exactly sure of the answer, but I witnessed this exact occurrence after a SM owner wired the new capacitors on the pump motor wrong. Here is what happened: The Onan momentarily
