Re: Any SM owners use a Beta engine??
Good day Amel lovers,
Thank you very much for your response. I am afraid that the Beta 60 will be removed from the range. I just think that our Maramu and the Beta 60 can form a good couple. Bill, I also e-mailed you in person for the discount that I might be able to receive through you at Beta. Thank you again for this.

"Alternators are highly reliable". If that were the case you would never see alternator/generator repair shops. I've had my Maramu for 19 years and have replaced the house alternator three times. It's electronic and the marine environment is not kind to electronics. Each time my alternator has failed, all I had to do is switch the batteries to "both" until I arrived somewhere the alternator could be rebuilt (the alternator recharging the starter batteries could handle the entire battery bank -slowly but it could do it). Never underestimate the value of redundancy, I'm quite sure Henri didn't. Dennis Johns Maramu #121

Re: Any SM owners use a Beta engine??
I believe the Beta 85 is a good choice for the SM or the 54. This engine does not have a computer with multiple sensors and is made with a reliable Kabuto 4 cylinder diesel engine. Several of my clients have purchased Beta engines and have had mostly expected results. The Beta 60 is going away, so if you are interested in the Beta 60 for a Maramu or Santorin, act quickly or you will miss out. Thank the EPA. My clients enjoy a significant discount from Beta. Email me if you want more information. Bill

Re: Any SM owners use a Beta engine??

Dirk,
I can't think of a good reason to have two separate 12V alternators. Charging a separate engine battery and a house battery bank can be handled in many less complex ways. Alternators are generally highly reliable, so a redundant system really isn't much benefit. If you will have a lead-acid battery for the engine, with your lithium house system, a battery-to-battery charger would be the way to go. That way you can program the B-to-B charger to match the charging profile needed by the other battery chemistry. So... I would definitely go with the single large alternator. Having Beta do the install is a lot simpler, since the PTO on the engine will be all set up for the heavy loads of the large alternator with brackets and mounting points all using their standard engineering.

Re: Any SM owners use a Beta engine??
Good day Amel lovers,
We are also planning to replace our perkins with a Beta 60 on our Maramu. We also plan to replace our batteries for 8 x 100 Ah lithium batteries. Is it sufficient to have one 175 Amp, 12 Volt Alternator installed on the engine by Beta marine or is it better to install a 175 Amp, 12 Volt Secondary Domestic Alternator separately in addition to the standard 70 Amp, 12 Volt Alternator?
I would like to know from Amel lovers who also use a Beta 60 which Aternator configuration they have applied to their Beta 60.
Ps: what a great forum this is. My thanks to all those who make this forum possible.

Jose,
The O rings might look good, but still a good idea to change them out if you haven't already done so. Make sure you put a lot of grease on the shaft before you put it back in the hole. Ken Aquarius SM2K#262

Re: Water ingress
There is one more possible source. Call it #7. It is the hose and its connections from the anchor locker. The anchor locker hose is connected to a T fitting in the floor near the Depth Sounder. It is about a 25mm hose. Follow it back to the anchor locker, checking the hose and its connections.

Re: Waterleak
This hose circled in green is the drain hose to the gray water sump (bilge). It carries mostly gray water, but some saltwater from the chain locker is carried to the bilge via this hose.

Re: Water ingress
Jose, If the water is seawater as you say, the sources of the seawater in this spot in the order of probability are:
I would test to see if it is number 2 - 4 above by turning OFF the ball-valve on the Secondary Saltwater Manifold. This will turn off the seawater supply to Toilets, Air Conditioner, and Anchor wash. You'll need to use fresh water to flush toilets via the shower. Even with the ball valve OFF, you may get some seawater because there will be some seawater in the manifold & lines. You could minimize the water in the manifold and lines by flushing the forward toilet, running the anchor wash, and running the AC pump, for about 10 seconds, each. Bill

Re: Waterleak
JOSE PRIETO
Hello Bill!
You are correct in your observation regarding the anchor wash system in my SM. So, I already discard this option. Regarding TDS test, I did not made the accurate test. I order a TDS meter, but the taste is salted, no color or smell. As long as I observe, the first place to show the seawater (assumed) is where you mark the green area. Can you help me to identify this hose (picture) that comes out of the bow and passes under the floor of the front wc .. Its entire extension is moist with salt water, despite being attached to the top of the floor. Thanks for the help -- Jose Prieto SV Wayag, SM 323 Currently Alicante, Spain

Re: Waterleak

Hi Jose,
we had similar puddles in the same area. I found that the hose clamp that holds the hose on the pipe through the wall aft had failed. It was only hold in place because the hose with clamp is very tight over the hull re-reinforcement (cross bracing) and prevents the broken clamp from falling down. -- Michael & Robyn SY RIPPLE SM2K # 417
