Yes, it could be the brushes on the motor. They are replaceable. You can open the Square D pressure switch by unscrewing the nut in the middle of the box. You will see two mechanical spring switches.

Dear Bill and everybody I have the A.M.F.A 88b. Is it possible that the problem is on motor? when the pressure drops, I see that there is 27 V on the engine but it does not work. When I kick it a

Bill, That's for sissies - ya gotta suck on the hose! Cheers, Craig

Hi Lior; If you find yourself in a pinch, I do have spares on board that you can have. We were anchored outside Kotor for a couple of days and are now anchored outside Risan in Bay of Kotor. We will

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

Thank you very much Bill. It helps me a lot. I very appropriate your replay! Thanks Lior

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

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

Hello Lior; The pressure switch is a mechanical switch that uses springs. The springs sometimes get rusty and old and do not function reliably and consistently. These switches are relatively

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

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

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.

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. It is important

One thing that this contactor failure illustrates is that they do have a lifespan - whether it is a contactor used in standard domestic, marine, or other purposes. Additionally, I have noted

Bill, Mine is locatedbehind the genset. I may have been relocated by the previous owner when the CharlesIsolation Transformer was installed in the lazarette. With bestregards, Mark

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. Best, CW Bill Rouse Yacht School - Supporting Amel
