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

Bob & Suzzane: These capacitors should be 30 uf (micro farad) 450 volt AC capacitors with a stud at the top for mounting and wiring via pigtails. You can purchase them here:

Does anyone have a part number or source for the 2 large black capacitors on the high pressure pump for the Dessalator 160? They both have a stud for a nut on one end to fasten (and provide

Mark, I doubled the seals, running two in parallel everywhere I had room. Does that help? I don't know for sure, but it falls under the category of "It can't hurt!" If you do that you will need 3X
