Re: Onan group on SM number 32
Did you measure the Temperature of the Exhaust Elbow and the Oil Filter? The oil filter should be about 80C when the Onan has warmed up to operating temperature. And the exhaust elbow about 50C. If the exhaust elbow is higher than 50C, there is a restriction or limitation of seawater flow. Other than the things you checked, this can be caused by a build-up of carbon in the exhaust manifold and exhaust elbow. Did you visually check the impeller? Bill

Alex, a quick update - the bottom stool is now called out by a new name below. If you click on the links in my last email, it will take you to the Wayfair site.
Good luck. Jamie Phantom, A54 #44 Winnols Swivel Adjustable Height Bar Stool

Re: A54 Nav station seat replacement
Jamie Wendell
Alex, the ones I ordered and installed are below. I do not think either one is still available, but there are others that are similar if not a bit more expensive. I prefer the cheaper of the two. I am not at the boat now, so regrettably I cannot take a photo of the install. You would not use the pedestals - just the seat.

Fuel tank shape on 55?
Billy Newport
Is the diesel tank on a 55 regular shaped or did amel use a custom sender to accurately show fuel? Water tank shape also?

Hello Bill, I have downloaded the ZOOM app. What else do I need to do? If I want to show pictures during the meeting, how do I do that? Thanks for guiding me a bit. Olivier.

Many members of the Amel Yacht Owners Group trained on their new Amels with Olivier in La Rochelle. Many of us relied on Olivier as the manager of Amel SAV.

As most of you know, after a long and successful career with Amel, Olivier Beaute went into the survey business and established ATLANTIC YACHT SURVEY.
The topic of Olivier's ZOOM Meeting will be "An Amel Survey." His presentation will last about 30 minutes with 30 minutes for questions. Tilo Peters will monitor, queue, and ask Olivier your texted questions.
This meeting will be very good for all of our members.
I suspect that this meeting may book to capacity and urge you to register soon.

Re: Heater

Paul,
We've found our ebespacher quite effective in cold conditions. But what we found really useful in Scotland and the Baltic was an electric blanket. They don't use many amps, but make a significant difference climbing into bed at night or coming off watch! Ian Ocean Hobo SN9&

Re: New battery bank / one battery smoking and leaking
Ian Park
Ben
Don't replace the bad battery until you have found the issue. Maybe it was a bad battery or a charging issue. If the latter, you risk damaging a replacement in the same way. Prior to crossing the Atlantic my batteries were suddenly running down quickly. After separating them and testing them I found one battery was not holding a charge. I removed it from the system reducing the house bank to three. Everything was fine then; the bad battery was stopping the rest from charging fully. If your batteries are not new, don't put a new one in the system. Reduce to three. Find out whether it was a bad battery or something in your running charging circuits. If you have to keep.moving, either everything will charge up fine or another battery will go the same way. When you've identified the issue think of renewing all the house batteries. I When this happened to me I was at the same stage of the learning curve as you are now! This group has hauled my knowledge up by the bootstraps!! Ian Ocean Hobo SN96

Re: New battery bank / one battery smoking and leaking
Ben,
Some more info would help. When you say, "Basically only the alternators." - does that mean you have more than one engine alternator? When you say "I will change the battery ..." does that mean you will just take the overheating battery out of the house bank of 5, and not that you are actually "changing" it? Or are you ex-"changing" it with the starter battery? What does "regulate the charge in the coming hours" mean? Are you back to shore power and running your Victron? Does that not regulate the charge automatically (through it's 3-stage program)? Would love to help you sort this out, but your post is a little hard to respond to with the paucity of information you've given. Best, Craig - SN68 Sangaris, Tropic Isle Harbor, FL

Re: New battery bank / one battery smoking and leaking
Ahah, I’m learning the hard way the fun part of owning a boat. I heard a long time ago.... be the friend of someone who owns a boat. All it will cost you is a case of beer. Lol Yesterday I was on shore power and all seem well. Yes I was motoring for about 50 nm and realized the problem almost at destination. But it was going on for a while. Just don’t realize cause of lack of knowledge. Today was very cloudy so almost no solar power coming in. Basically only the alternators. So I will change the battery and regulate the charge in the coming hours. Thx for the help Ben

When you charge batteries you have to go through several phases (1, charge max, 2. lower amount, 3 trickle charge). If your charger/your alternator, windvane or sun panels faile to lower the charge, then you fry the batteries. -- John Bernard "JB" Duler San Francisco Meltem # 19, Western Med

New battery bank / one battery smoking and leaking
Good afternoon again Amel fellow group.
I seem to have another problem on my Amel. I realized this week that my batteries were all dead after a year due to Covid of not being able to maintain the boat properly. (Couldn’t reach the boat in another country.)
I changed all my batteries yesterday for 6 new ones. 5 are a bank and one is for the starter.
I am trying to figure out if the problem could be only that exact battery, from the fact that all others seemed ok or do I have a problem somewhere else in my set up?

can you provide a Wayfair product number or link? With the description that you mention, I can't find anything on their site that resembles what I'm looking for. Thanks a lot, Alex NO STRESS A54 #15

Re: Foredeck dinghy cradle
Bill, We do store our dingy a 10,5 feet AB, deflated on the after deck, it actually take "less space" than up side down, and it would not store very much water in the case of extremely rough weather. But it does not adress the issue with access to the emergency tiller. But the liner drive Autopilot will still be in operation.

Some Navigation parts available
Dear Forum,
After some refresh/upgrade activities for the navigation equipment I'm left with several parts that are functional however no longer needed. Before putting this stuff on e-Bay I would like to ask my fellow forum members if there is any interest in this collection. I also have the genua and staysail furlers (both working) available. Just send me a PM if you need more information. Arno Luijten SV Luna, A54-121
