Re: Adjusting Ultraflex steering cables?
Beaute Olivier
Hello Carina, the cables are not available from AMEL, but as ULTRAFLEX is still in business, you should be able to order from them or from a representative. Olivier.

Are you the same Alain Durante who participated in the Transpacific race from Australia to Japan in a steel boat in the 80's If so, we met in the Japanese fishing harbour of Omosu where I kept my Maramu. You had a son by the name of Yuya. If I am correct please drop me a note at jean.boucharlat(at)orange.fr. I just came to France 10 days ago after more than 50 years in Japan.
My apologies to all other members for this private message. I couldn't resist trying to make sure.

Hi Bill et al, My 54 Hull 019 had the red stop button from when I bought her in 2017. In addition there is a description of its use and photo in the owners manual. My feeling is that it was installed from new, at the factory. Nick S/Y Amelia AML54-019 Leros Gr

Re: Watermaker: Dessalator D60 Freedom Pump Problem
I did a pump seal rebuild. I found calcium deposited around the check valve. I couldn't get any flow beforehand. System was not used for many years by previous owners.

Re: A54 bow thruster emergency switch
Jamie, Amel added it later than your production. I would add it if I were you. Please do not quote me, but I thought Amel had a kit for any 54 owner to install this if it wasn't originally installed by Amel

Re: Bow Thruster Issue SM 292
Agree with Bill Kinney. The very first thing I would check is the condition and SOC of the house batteries and running the generator with a battery charger is important. At the very least the generator and battery charger will add to the available current, therefore mitigating some of the heat build-up in the bow thruster motor. Also, I didn't receive the answers to my questions. I assume the problem is resolved.

Re: A54 bow thruster emergency switch

Oh, I see what you are talking about. That disconnects a lot more than the bow thruster.
It also shuts off the anchor controls. I had to replace mine with a rotary switch, as the original pushbutton rusted solid. Thanks Jamie Phantom, A54 #44

Re: Secondary Saltwater Manifold SMs & 54s, and possibly some Santorins, Mangos, and Maramus
Chris Doucette
Hi Bill, I am certainly interested and have a late model SM 2K. I was honestly working on doing the same project INCLUSIVE of the manifold that comes out of the sea strainer. I am working on a concept for using parts manufactured from a glass reinforced nylon composite - as it is High strength and light-weight. Goals: 1) maintain or increase volume and flow dynamics 2) shut-off valves for specific components 3) non corrosive 4) strong & resistant to crushing, breaking and temperature 5) serviceable with more off-the shelf types of components 6) replaceable barb adapters so as hoses change they can be adjusted. 6) easily assembled (within reason) This company has most of the components, inclusive of the ball valves needed to accomplish this. These guys make Stainless BSP to NPT adapters that could be useful also to take on the sea strainer part. The crux for me is getting all the measuring of the required hose barbs etc. for the first and second manifold correct- I would be replacing ALL the hoses off of the first manifold (feeds to the Yanmar, Genset, and second manifold) and fewer of the second manifold. For example, fiberglass reinforced elbow on the sea strainer- could be 1.5 - 2.0 inch - I can't tell without tearing into it. Chris Amarok SM 385

Re: Watermaker: Dessalator D60 Freedom Pump Problem
Doug Smith
I was able to source the high pressure pump seal kit, for the duo 100, which is a CAT 277 pump. The distributor for CAT in NJ, USA is EDI distributors. Skip is the one I worked with, he was able to give me the seal kit for 170 USD, with a new customer discount of 30%. Total cost of $119.00. I didn’t have to ask for it, but just emailed him for a quote and he provided those prices. Dessallator has it on their website for more than twice that amount, plus whatever it would cost to ship. info@... It isn’t listed on their website as a part, or in their catalogue, but when I emailed him, it was in stock. Then it was shipped the same day, shipping included, as when I communicated with him and I received it the next day. Incredible customer service. Regarding the DC motor, it was much easier to work on, simply by pulling the water maker assembly out of the engine room. Removing the brushes and cleaning out the holes with a shop vac, as Bill R has recommended in his book, did the trick for mine. I put them back in and it started working again, reliable thus far. And as Bill K indicates below, if there isn’t water flow through the HP pump, then it won’t pull water from anywhere. It requires the water to have a head pressure on it, to make high pressure flow.

A 24V motor suitable for the D60 watermaker is available from industrial sources in the USA for ~US$300. Parts for the CAT high pressure pump are also available from CAT. Dessalator's spare parts prices make Volvo's look a bargain, and that takes some doing!!!!

Woody, I assume that your D60 does not have an additional low pressure feed pump, which most of the larger later model Dessalitors do. Be sure that the pressure valve on the watermaker control panel is fully open. If that is closed, priming can be difficult or impossible. I also assume that the pump was not run dry at any time except during your priming attempts. If the pump is turning, the fault is most likely in the water feed, because it is unlikely (but possible!) that the pump could fail totally over the maintenance period. The water feed is probably restricted. If you haven't done so, try changing the feed water filter, see if that helps. The pump inlet is below the waterline, so if you disconnect the inlet from the pump copious amounts of water should flow out when the seacock is open. If not, track down the debris clogging the hoses or other issue with water feed. If the inlet water is free flowing, and the pump is running, and nothing seems to be coming out, try disconnecting the outlet hose from the pump. If the outlet doesn't push lots of water under high pressure, it is possible the pump needs a rebuild. If the pump is not leaking water, the internal check valves could be bad, but it seems odd that all of the cylinders would go bad at once. Bill Kinney SM160, Harmonie Fort Lauderdale, FL, 32043
