Re: Marco Pump stoppage
Hi Duane
I had a similar situation with my Marco. The following is the advice from Marco’s engineer. The scenario / process was omitted from my manual in error and has now been included by Marco.

Re: SM Climma AC - Calpeda Pump Voltage with Breakers Off
Not sure. I also don't remember any blue wires on those breakers.

Marco Pump stoppage
I have a Marco UP3E pump that is not working and would love some advice on any other things to check.
Symptons:
The pump stopped working while it was being used (wife was in the shower!)
When I turn

Hi Bill,
I do not remember 100% however , aren't the 220 volt Amel breakers double pole?

Re: New Engine alignment in a SM
Hi Graeme,
I cannot give details as to model of vetus mounts to use, however you need to know that the Amel system of mounting the engine on the angle iron frames with the mounts under this allowed

Frederic,
My Amel is a Maramu but the mounts look like they are the same as yours. On my boat the center rubber mount is fastened with a nut and peening. The center rubber mount has a stud

Yes an alternator shop can replace the diodes. Interestingly last year I had a problem with the 175A 24v alternator on my boat. I thought it was diode trouble and others thought it was an

Re: SM Climma AC - Calpeda Pump Voltage with Breakers Off
Eric,
Exactly, and that is why there is 115 volts via black USA to blue EU still ON at the Calpeda pump when the AC breaker (brown load) is OFF.

Re: SM Climma AC - Calpeda Pump Voltage with Breakers Off
Hi Bill,
At a USA the pedestal is wired (50 Amp) red, white , black, and green.
For the purposes of an Amel , the white (neutral is not used on a 50 amp plug.
The black and red are both hot

Re: Guests and engine controls!
Thanks Nick
My voltage across service and start batteries is 14+V when the motor is on so I therefore presume that means the 2 alternators are still working ok and I managed to avoid diode damage

Re: Guests and engine controls!
Thanks for that Bill
I wondered about that so have checked alternator output by simply checking charge voltage at the batteries. That still seems to be a good output voltage and I’m unsure of any

Re: Guests and engine controls!
Hi Miles,
You should check the alternator is working. If the pulley is rotating and for whatever reason there is nowhere for the current from the alternator to go then you will fry the diodes. If

Miles,
In some cases and with some alternators, this may cause damage to the diodes in the Alternator.

Re: SM Climma AC - Calpeda Pump Voltage with Breakers Off
If my memory is correct, I have your answer.
On USA grid there is a leg of 115VAC on the Load and another leg of 115VAC on the Return. The color of the Load is Brown and the color of Return/Neutral

Re: New Engine alignment in a SM
Graham,
I am not 100% sure about your hull number, but I am sure that later model SMs used Vetus K50 for the engine (4) and for the C Drive (2).
Here is a photo of the Vetus coupling donuts from a SM.
