Yes all good..>EXCEPT..there is a connection between the AC ground and the bonding circuit, in my boat at least and that is due to the 220VAC saltwater pump for the air conditioning...there the AC

Re: correct installation of a new charger
Dear group,
I think there was a misunderstanding in Enios question regarding the batt-chargers connection. On the AC-side the charger connects to three cables: phase, neutral and earth. While phase

Every bonding connection in my Super Maramu is made with stainless clamps, except the bolt on connections to the copper strap in the sump and the connection to the rudder, and some pump frames that

That they are.
It’s not perfect, and requires more maintenance and awareness to be sure that there is a good, low resisitance connection between the bonding circuit and the hardware. If it is

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Kent !!!
The LP pump for the watermaker, the A/C pump, a few things on the manifold, the fuel fill and a few other things are all attached with S/S hose clamps.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Kent !!!
Proper seacocks have screw posts for terminating the wires with crimped on terminals.
It’s not perfect, the terminals need to be renewed every few years, especially if they get damp with salt water,

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Kent !!!
Yes I am not sure how else one would connect them, perhaps with a copper tie rather than S/S certainly one of the wires looked very corroded.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Kent !!!
Amel connected almost of the bonding on Kimberlite with S/S hose clamps.
Haven’t had a problem in 14 years.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Kent !!!
If you check that there is no continuity between the AC grounding (green/yellow) and the charger case AND there is no continuity between DC -ve and the charger case then it may be OK to connect it to

Enio,
I would not connect anything to the "grounding" screw for now. It should work fine. If you think there might be a problem with the charger before you can find a qualified electrician, check

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dessalator 160 causes generator to shutdown but no breakers thrown
Good point, Danny. The Onan that Ben has is probably the same model as BeBe.
Ben, you never mentioned any error code, so assumed there was no error code. Was there an error code? Insufficient water

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dessalator 160 causes generator to shutdown but no breakers thrown
Does the onan have a protection system that shuts it down if the salt water cooling has inadequate flow? If so this could be the cause as the dessalator takes water from the same source, the sea
