Hi Nick, Another possibility (and I completely forgot about this until I was reminded by a friend) is the little red light at the bottom left of the 24VDC panel. If your 24VDC alternator has the

I also have to rev it up to get it generating on my Volvo TMD22a , not sure if that is normal or not . Pat SM#123

Whenwe first got on board that is what we did. We dialed back the pressure to remainat 150l/hr or less. However, when we had to replace the black box controller onthe HP pump, I had several in depth

Gary & Mohammad, The Dessalator D150, later named the D160 went through lots of changes, with the membranes being about the only part that remainded the about the same in all models. I said about the

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on how to flush the raw water system on my Volvo D3-110i-C. I know it has debris/salt etc. build up because I can feel it crunching in the rubber hose when I squeeze

My SM#37, with Volvo TMD22 requires a rev for tach and 12v alternator to fire off. Not sure if it is right but it has been stable for last year. John Clark SV Annie SM37 enroute to St. Lucia.

I have a 220 volt Super Maramu from 1995 (#141) which is currently in Fort Lauderdale waiting to be sold. I moved to a new dock yesterday and when I plugged into the 50 Amp shore power outlet, the

Nick, There are no "partial failures" of diodes. As solid state devices they either work--or not. When they fail they fail "open" and block current flow in both directions. It is possible, I guess,

For the record the electric motor for our pump (2004 SM #429) is a Leroy Somer LS100L P T No 509059 P J004 2.20kW 0.94COS 15.00A Bob

Hi Nick, Have you checked the alternator belt tension? If the belts aren't tight enough they could slip at low revs and therefore the alt won't charge. It could also be a blown rectifier in the

Hello fellow Amelians, I have had a great passage to the Azores from Antigua (14.5 days). Some months ago I asked the forum about exciting the 24v alternator and was advised by Bill to check the

HiGary; I donot believe that the reason for the two capacitors is to achieve a differentcapacitance level by wiring in series or parallel. I believe they servedifferent functions. One is a start

Mohammad & Aty: I don't know if we have the same motor for the HP Pump on the 160 l/hr Dessalator pump but I have noted your two different capacitors as opposed to the two 30 uf capacitors on mine.

Thanks Gary! Great source for the part. After posting I had done a bit of examination to see that the stud was just for mounting. This may explain why our Dessalator seems to still be working OK. I

Are you just servicing the steering rack or replacing the cables? Steve Yacht MACCABEE 1985 Sharki 121

Thanks for your reply, Paul, and sorry for my delay in responding but I have been travelling. Just one question. I heard that the Raymarine instruments and the B & G instruments need different

HelloBob; Wehave the 150 l/h dessalator. The HP pump motor is the LAFERT AMME 100L BA4 50HZ230V 3.0HP 220-240V. Thetwo capacitors are: 70 microF +/-5%, AC 400V AC 450V 50-60 Hz. Ours is made

This is going back a bit but I've been looking at all of the old posts trying to gather information on the SM's to help with my search and help me narrow down what I actually want. From what I've

Mark, Yes after four years of keeping my eye on the temp gauge and keeping the rpms in a lower range so not drive up the temp , its resolved. It came down to a small rubber seal that I did not know
