Jamie, Your 12V pump is looking for about 4A supply at 12V according to its specs. The system is designed to operate with a pump supply current of 1- 1.2A at 12V. I suspect you have damaged your 51385

Amel stopped using Yanmar on the 54's as they did not conform to the new pollution standards in Europe. I took a test drive on the 54 when they were still delivering the 53's. Joel Potter came

Thank you, Yes I wondered as most late year 53s are yanmar. Then when they built the 54 they went back to Volvo. Not sure why they did that. Yes get you point on the bunks etc which is why I

A few points from my understanding of the system. The relay is driven by 12V. The system always drives the relay with 12V regardless of being operated from 24V. There is a reason for this which I

Sorry James, I pushed the wrong button. Personally, the last engine in the world I would want is a Volvo, followed by, what is a centre line aft bunk doing in a serious blue water

I just checked again and under load (with my new 12V pump) the pump output from the Frigoboat interface is clearly showing 24 volts, and the 24V light is on, just as in Scott's photo. It is as Scott

Yeah I their I read somewhere the nice windows in the salon cost you storage.

Hi James, Either one will deliver what you aspire to do. One major difference that I have witnessed several times. Back in 2008 I spent a summer on the Amel pontoon in La Rochelle.

Yep just waiting on a reply with a schedule, may not be one with all the COVID going on but seems like a no brainer and money well spent to me

Hi Scott, I’m pretty sure this thing is NOT supposed to output 24 volts. You may be able to check this on the website of Frigoboat. Regards, Arno Luijten, SV Luna, A54-121

Here is the schematic showing that the power to the Frigoboat E51385 interface (Blue Box) comes directly from the Fan Output on the Danfoss compressor controller (1 of the 3 circled in red): This is

That is very weird. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but while the pumps are running, I stuck my test leads on positive and negative on the Pump +/- output on the interface. Clearly read 26v or more. How is

Thank you so much for the info it is greatly appreciated. I forgot about the staysail a lot of 53 owners have said the wish they had one

Hi all, I have 2 pumps set up. A 12v and 24v, both work. My panel indicates that it is running 24v which is lit up. I am metering 12v going into both pumps. Just changed to make sure and they are both

I would definitely take Bill up on his offer. If we had access to Bill’s knowledge at the time we purchased our Amel, we would have had a much steeper learning curve. Happy Sailing;

We reviewed both boats thoroughly. For us, It really came down to staysail, which we have come to use in most conditions above 25 knots apparent with wind forward of the beam, a bit extra space due

Arno, I just measured and got 26+ volts. The Frigoboat interface itself indicator shows 24v. -- Scott 2007 A54 #69 SV Tengah http://www.svtengah.com

Hi Jamie, I’m surprised you measure 24 volt. When I did the same I measured exactly half the voltage of the 24 volt system (about 13 volts when you are on shore power). Did you measure under load?

I just tested - you are right Jamie! The frigoboat interface outputs 24v (actually around 26.5 on my boat) to the pump! I replaced the compressor a while back and had concerns because the Hella
