Thank you very much Bill. @SAV has nothing in stock at the moment. As informed by Amel La Rochelle there is a delay in production. That being the reason I posted this message on the forum. Regards

Hi Bill, I can answer all your questions in about two weeks time. I am now 71 ( Judy is of coursemuch younger) and hope to have at least ten more years afloat. You will have seen from past posts

After a nice short day sail today, we were approaching Katakolo, Greece and I started the Volvo D3-110 (rev c) on my A54 and after a few minutes at idle, engaged into forward gear and about 30 seconds

Hi Bill, Your post makes me wonder if I am misinformed. I thought the AC ground (not the neutral) from the shore power cable was connected to the bonding system (possibly via a galvanic isolator, if

I have had my heat exchanger off several times over the years ,and reinstalled it as the previous owner had and not questioned it ,until now. I have had an overheating issue for years and am resolved

Mark, As Bill just suggested ,this may have been installed by the previous owner. There is no 12 or 24 breaker that I can find, just going to redo it in 24v.,moving on to other problems. Thanks, Pat

Bill, I have been trying to see a photo of the galley area on another SM of my vintage,no luck. I think cannot find the power source and think I will just replace the switch and solenoid with 24v .

Alan, Good points. All, This "ground issue" gets very confusing to most people. Let me add to the confusion, or maybe add some humor...you be the judge: The Amel Bonding System is NOT a GROUND. Amel

Herbert and Alan Thank you, I will start by not connecting the shield then if I run into problem I know where to start digging Paul on SY Kerpa SM 259

Pat, For what it's worth, I was poking around my propane locker last weekend and took some pics of the gas shutoff solenoid. I have attached a picture of the Burkert part number 125301 solenoid label

SAV@... has them in stock. Caution, there is more than one model gear box on the 54. Include a photo and hull number when ordering. Best, CW Bill Rouse Admiral, Texas Navy Commander Emeritus Amel

Pat, I believe your SM was modified. Other SMs the same vintage that I have seen had a manual valve. Best, CW Bill Rouse Admiral, Texas Navy Commander Emeritus Amel School www.amelschool.com 720

A few questions for those of you who have repowered a Super Maramu—especially those who swapped out a Volvo TMD22. What new engine did you use? Did you use the same Hurth 250 transmission? Are you

The drain and shield are connected together, and should be regarded as a single conductor. The drain wire is a lot easier to attach to than the shield. Maretron has this to say: I take this to mean

If it’s 12v, it would have to be powered by the 24-12 converters or the starting battery, Pat. On Kristy there’s a breaker for it on the 24v panel with a light that indicates it’s on. Kent S/V

Kent, The solenoid is stamped 12v, originally I assumed it was 24v. I bought a more expensive tracer , but I can not get it to beep running the sensor all around the wires coming up into the

Do you have power at the breaker on the 24v panel? On Kristy the solenoid is 24v. Kent Robertson S/V Kristy karkauai@... USA cell: 828-234-6819

Great, thanks Danny. Kent S/V Kristy SM 243

Dear All The gearbox of the boom on my Amel 54 is broken. Can anyone provide me with the part and fabrication numbers? Thank you very much Kurt and Junita SY Hemera Flag Malta MMSI 215000349 Current

In the NMEA 2000 scheme there is a DRAIN wire and a SHIELD. The recommendation is that both should be connected to GROUND at ONE POINT ONLY. Problems have been caused it seems by earth loops where the
