Bill, I will be on Kimberlite next week and check. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

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.

Not sure. I also don't remember any blue wires on those breakers. Best, CW Bill Rouse 720 Winnie St Galveston Island, TX 77550 +1(832) 380-4970

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? Fair Winds, Eric

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

Hi Miles, 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

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. Best, CW Bill Rouse 720 Winnie St Galveston Island, TX

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

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

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

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. Best, Bill Rouse 720 Winnie St. Galveston, Texas 77550 832-380-4970 My Calendar Yacht School

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

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.

Hello A guest on board switched my ignition off whilst motoring. Trying to be helpful. The engine kept running but I only noticed a few mins later when I spotted the instruments were off My

Hi Bill Thanks for the detailed advice. I think using the Beta mounts was a mistake. Can you recommend the vetus or other manufacturers' mounts that are suitable for supporting the metal frame. The

Thank you to all of you who have put up replies to my questions, all most useful and have given me a positive direction in which to head. I have no doubt this issue will be easily resolved once my
