There might be a loose wire, probably a wire on the 12v/24v excite relay, or to or from that relay and the 24v alternator. Yours probably doesn't look exactly like this but has these components. Does

Hello, The pressure of the hot water in my aft head is way to low (shower and sink). In the galley and the forward head there is no problem. When the water flows, I hear a sound as if there where some

Happy Holidays, everyone. We are in W Palm Beach, FL after a boisterous sail down from the Chesapeake. 15ft bar at StAugustine with 8-10 ft seas kept us from stopping there. On the way down the belt

I agree that a bad solenoid is a possible cause of the symptoms described. The solenoid used on most Onans is a "two coil" type. One powerful "start coil" that pulls the plunger to the "run"

Good morning! I got a chance to take care of an aging problem while conveniently tied to the dock this week. About 6 months ago I noticed a small pinhole leak in the copper hose fitting in the

Try manually holding the fuel solenoid engaged while cranking and hold until generator is at speed. I have experienced this twice. Possibily low voltage to solenoid. Bill Cloudstreet

Hi, Who made the drogue? Fair Winds. Eric Kimberlite Amel SM 376 376 Kimberlite

Kevin, When the generator is forced into running, does it produce power? If YES then flashing the field is not likely to help--the problem is elsewhere. Bill Kinney SM160, Harmonie Brunswick, GA, USA

Mark, For the forward head ball valve removal, I carefully used an oscillating multitool, then a mini-hacksaw that has a portion of the blade sticking out past the frame and finally a plain hacksaw

Hi Mark, I used a multi tool (vibrating blade). The main problem I had (other than getting the hose back on) was unscrewing the valve. It wouldn't budge and I was worried my 'large' shifting spanner

Mark, A Dremel worked fine for me. You may not be able to remove the hose before you remove the valve. As an alternative, loosen the clamps on the hose barb on top of the valve, then unscrew the hose

Hi Kevin, Glad to see youare back in Panama. It sounds likea fuel flow issue. If you bypassed the fuel shutoff solenoid and it works, haveyou tried replacing it. Dumb question but worth

I haven’t had the chance to watch the video yet, but as an electronics engineer as training, if you want to blow your birdy brains try understanding the propagation of RF along a coax cable…then

Our generator has been sleeping for a year and a half; we can start the generator but as soon as we release the start switch it does not stay running; we bypassed fuel shut off solenoid and generator

Hey Mark, I did mine a few months ago and just used a 4 inch angle grinder (very carefully). I could reach most of the way around with that and then finished off with a loose hacksaw blade. They

Hi Everyone, Next week I being the joyous task of changing out theseacock in the aft head. For those who have done this, do you have any advice on thebest way to remove the fiberglass overlay

Thanks Bill, This video blew my mind and actually raised more questions than it answered :D If I understand correctly Electrical energy is not like a fluid that flows through a pipe but carried by

Adam, If Amel doesn't have them fellow SM owner Paul Stascavage from Rita Kathryn had the same issue and had some replacements machined. He had some extras made and as of July 2020 still had some
