Re: Onan generator exhaust sensor

Hull Nr. 350 also has two wires on this sensor: two whites and two blacks. See the photo on post https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/conversations/messages/33964 The original sensor is marked F230 402-370 0013. I purchased a replacement from Onan which Onan said was correct for my model and serial number. It never worked. After a while, a competent shop in Marmaris soldered the broken attachment point on the old one, and Onan admitted the part I was sold is not compatible with my Onan 7MDKAL. Best of luck, Peregrinus SM2K Nr. 350 (2002) At anchor, Minorca

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Companionway ( washboard ) rubber seal replacement?
That is where I bought the seal. It was designed for the outside seal on an automobile side window. I’m guessing that they have it but under a different number now.

Hi Kent,
I looked at the website of JC Whitney's and the items number nor the items name was found.
Are you sure about this company selling the gasket that fits the companion way?

Here’s what I found a few years ago, it works great.
Here's the gasket material I found that works fine. It's enough to do two replacements. My first replacement in 2010 has dried out and needs replacement again after 5 years. Purchased at JCWhitney.com +1 800-529-4486
Belt Weatherstripping Item No. 819751
Cost including shipping in 2010 was $28 US.
No bending required, just holes drilled and cut to length.
Since I put spar urethane on the companionway door, I’ve had no black rubber coming off on the door as it slides up and down.

Hi Courtney,

We will be away from TouRai over The holidays and just booked a slip at Nanny Cay for the month on the recommendation of a long time VI cruiser. We had initially asked him for his recommendation in St Thomas as we will be flying in and out of there, and staying at Nanny on Tortola (BVI)and taking the ferry was his clear preference. I think the quote we got for the month was around 1600. I’ll confirm that after I send this. All the best, Steve

Re: Chain counter display
greatketch@...
And a small update... The original inductive sensor used no magnets. Just the metal mass of the "teeth" of the chain gypsy as they passed through the magnetic field generated by the coil. Clever, but a bit fragile and fussy.
Does not change the fact that it is incompatible with the QUICK control head, which does need magnets inset into the gypsy. If anybody needs details, let me know. Bill Kinney

Re: Chain counter display
greatketch@...
James,
The Quick unit uses a different sensor technology than the Amel OEM unit. My understanding of the original sensor is that it is an inductive sensor where the moving magnet generates a pulse of electricity in the coil, while the Quick chain counter sensor is a simple magnetic reed switch, and the control head detects the switch closure when the magnet goes by. If the Quick did not come with a sensor (and I imagine it should have!) Quick sells a complete sensor kit for about US$25. It is a tiny little thing, and easy to mount near the chain stripper. Let me know if pictures would help, I can take some tomorrow. You can use the existing wiring, any pair of conductors will do to carry the switch closure signal back to the control head. Bill Kinney SM160, Harmonie Annapolis, MD, USA ---In amelyachtowners@..., <jamescromie@...> wrote : Hello Amelians - I have been trying to figure out how to install a new chain counter display on my 2002 Amel SM2K. The original display from Pochon functions, but the LCD screen is barely readable. I just replaced the sensor (though realized I didn't need to). I purchased a "Quick" Chain Counter, Model CHC 1203, as I saw another owner with the same display and I was told that it worked well. I have tried to install this, but the unit does not seem to detect any input from the sensor. It seems as though the original counter provides 10V to the sensor, whereas the "Quick" unit only provides about 3V. I wonder if there is a simple wiring change that I need to make, or if this is hopeless without using a different sensor. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If any of you have this type of chain counter display, I'd love to know how it is wired and if you use the standard sensor (IFM IB5124). Thanks in advance! James Soteria Sm2K 347 Portsmouth, RI
