Re: Refueling from Deck
I was not going to post this, but..........
If you set the jerry can above the tank you are filling, you can safely siphon without a "gizmo."
Place the jerry can at a level above the fuel tank fill

Re: A.M.F.A fresh water pump on A54
Dear Mohammad
Thanks a lot for your feedback. It was nice talking to you on VHF a few days ago :-)
I will immediately order the switch but we must have water in between... We are still two weeks in

Re: Refueling from Deck
These are great. We have one. I also use it to transfer fuel forthe dinghy. It is possible to leave the fuel can on the deck and the dink inthe water. Saves trying to use a big funnel and spilling gas

I have never seen a combined product.
BTW, I like the galvanic isolators with a gauge.

Re: A.M.F.A fresh water pump on A54
You either need a new Square D pressure switch, and it adjusted correctly, or you need to adjust the current switch. If you have never adjusted the switch, you may find the 2 adjustments difficult as

Hello everybody
The A.M.F.A fresh water pump stop sometimes working. After I give a soft "kick" on the pressure switch, it start working again. It looks like that the switch sometime does not start

Re: Shore power contactor burnt out
Hi
thanks for the input and Bill’s advice and diagrams.
Only 10A relays are available locally, so I have to wait 2 days for a 40A replacement relay to be sent. I will put in a final note when it is

Refueling from Deck
An auto siphon, also called a jigger will empty a 5 gallon container in less than a minute. I would only dispense direct to tank with fuel I trust otherwise I'd pre-filter it through a Baha Filter.

Re: Shore power contactor burnt out
In early model SMs the Shore/Generator relay switch box was located in the Lazarette, in later models behind the generator.
Attached is a page from my Amel Book showing both locations.

Mark,
The contactor relay is not in the engine room on early SMs. See the photo I attached earlier. It is inside the cockpit lazarette.

Re: Super Maramu
I saw SM hull #1. It has the fan, as does all SMs I have seen. There is also a fiber filter for the fan located above the stove that needs cleaning and/or replacing at least once a year.
