Re: Masse Light and March Pump

greatketch@...
 

Dean,

The two Marco UPE2/e pumps in our system are both powered on all the time. There are no change over valves in the system.

They work well together. What typically happens when we open a tap and the water pressure starts to fall is both pumps come on for a second or two, then one takes the job of keeping the pressure in the system. We do not have an accumulator in the system.

None of our basin taps or shower heads flow more than 1 gallon per minute at full flow so in normal use I have never seen both pumps running together. I imagine they might run together if we ran three or four taps wide open at the same time, but that seems a rather artificial situation.

The downside of the UPE2 size is that it runs lower water pressure—down near the minimum considered acceptable for household water supply, about 23psi. We think it’s fine. The UPE3 bumps the pressure up to 36psi/2bar. I think most people would find that completely acceptable.

With this style of pump it is important to have a fairly fine screen on the intake water. This is not so much to protect the pump but it keeps a small bit of debris from jamming in the non-return valve, which is quite small. Not any more problematic than most other pumps, but it is really the only likely place to have a problem.

We have had this installation in full time use for two years, trouble free.

Hi Gary

In the process of buying a SM, and there is no rigging for the poles, in fact they were likely never used! 

Will be keen to hear how the set up goes for you. My guess is 12mm dyneema is more than strong enough, possible oversize somewhat..

Thanks

Engine tray mounts

Hello all


I am about to become the proud owner of a SM2k and one of the first jobs to tackle are the engine tray mounts which are badly rusted and causing misalignment which in turns is causing vibration.


Has anyone been through this before? Any guidance greatly appreciated as well as where to source new mounts.. 


The realignment before and after the replacement seems complicated also, so feedback greatly appreciated.


Thanks to all, this site is such a great resource!! Looking forward to contributing!

Pat,

The in-line Bowman needs more attention than the cooler attached to the transmission because the openings for the seawater flow in the Bowman are very small. The entry end of the Bowman will trap particles and debris that are small enough to get through the sea-chest strainer. It is very easy to clean the Bowman of this debris. It is also very easy to ruin the Bowman by over-tightening the large hose clamps on the entry and exit rubber boots. This same hose clamp, on the entry end is what is opened to remove debris...there is more to the procedure because of the saltwater in the lines and the Bowman heat exchanger.

Should the replacement of the oil cooler on an older boat, be viewed as a necessary preventative item. Do they fail often ? It seems that if they do ,failure could occur without warning ,until after damage was done. I probably have the original cooler , should I put this on the list ?

Ogg: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: ZF25 Transmission Failure

 
One reason for the transmission heating up "could be" that your transmission oil cooler is compromised.  You said the dipstick was melted and since there was no leakage of fluid, you assumed that it was still full of transmission fluid.

I had a similiar problem with my Amel SM.  The cooler developed a hole in the cooler tubes that permitted the seawater and the transmission fluid to mix.  Eventually the hole in the cooler tubes was big enough, that the suction from the engine seawater pump sucked the fluid out of the transmission.  Prior to the complete failure of the transmission, the seawater mixed with the transmission fluid and rusted the inner workings of the transmission.  So, in my case, the transmission had to be replaced.

Have you ever noticed that the engine exhaust/water leaves an oil sheen on the water?

Pull some of the fluid out of the transmission and see if it looks right, or is milky or watery.

Here's the thing, if you have to replace the transmission, be sure to replace the transmission cooler.  I'm not sure of a reasonable interval to replace them, but for $200 or so, it's good insurance.  Mine failed at about 2,000 engine hours.

xantrex Battery Monitor - high Voltage alarm

Rudolf Waldispuehl
 

Hi all


Situation:

My xantrex Battery Monitor is coming up with a high Voltage alarm regularly. 


Findings:

In the settings under position F08 I can set the "over voltage alarm" level. Default in the manual say its 16V.

This is for 12V systems. Range can be defined between 10.0 and 35.0V. 

For standard lead acid batterie, I guess an "over voltage setting" for the 24V system over 28.5 is normal. 


Problem: 

I can set the voltage level to 29 or 30V or whatsoever, but after some hours the settings are back to 28.5 and this will release the alarm. I have on Engine the 24V Mastwervolt regulator and Solar panels with a 24V Victron MPPT charge controller. Everything works fine. Batteries nearly all the time full and Voltage over 28.5V.


Anyone has the same observations or any clue how to correct or learn Xantrex to have high voltage over 30V?


Thanks for advice

Danny,
You’re right. I was never going to go for a recondition. This transmission has been going around for 750 hours being a litre short of fluid.

It’s amazing it has lasted this long, I suspect the original owner did not exceed 2000rpm in his 430 hours of use. I crank up the RPM Intermittently to help clear the carbon and also to stress test the drive train. This may have accelerated the failure, although I was not going hard when it failed.

Ruedi asked about the pressure failure. I think one factor was low fluid level (only 2L), and possibly a suction leak through the oil filter seals, although I have not been able to verify that theory. I’m almost positive the overheat came from the shaft brake closure, due to lowering pressure - then everything compounds as the brake resists more etc.

Anyhow, after great assistance from Porter McRoberts, yesterday I ordered a new transmission from marinegears.com in Florida. Its coming by Fedex next week and will be fitted the week after.

Cheers all
Dean


 


 
Re: Masse Light and March Pump

Dean Gillies
 

Bill K,
I am interested in installing something like you have, but using two parallel UP3/E pumps for redundancy.
Would you be able to share a bit more about your configuration?
For example, are both pumps powered all the time, or do you power one at a time?
Did you instal a changeover valve in the pipework, or just plumb them in parallel?
If you have them both powered and both plumbed, how do they interact with each other when you open a tap, two taps etc?

I like the idea of having a redundant system, and also the capacity to produce 20+ l/min at 2 bar, which I think it would give me.

Many thanks

Amel Pole Rigging Lines

Gary Wells
 

Well .. I made a big and expensive mistake when looking for some lengths of line last week.  I couldn't back out of it because even though I said "StaySet" I touched "Dyneema" and that's what they cut for me. 

I think I know the answer already, but does anyone have an opinion (well .. I know that answer too :) ) on whether safety would be compromised if the Amel Poles were rigged with a non-stretching line?  I'm debating it as it seems the Poles would need some wiggle room to shift stresses, but conversely the sails themselves do a lot of shock absorption.

At any rate, I'm considering rigging the poles with 8mm Dyneema since I have a lot of it now (and it's in pretty colors) and since the original braided lines are getting pretty old.  Thoughts?

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Volvo Penta D3-110 Problem

Rudolf Waldispuehl
 

Dear Robin

To my knowledge the Error Message on EVC Number 1,2, etc. are only indicating the number of errors. Does not mean it’s the real message.

There is a trick to go into the OEM mode to get to the real error Messages. But I forgot how it works. You find a video in YouTube how to do. "How to Retrieve EVC-C Display Fault Codes"
In Internet you also find different sides what those messages means. 

I had also fail-code # 1 and by digging in deeper the Real fault was the „mProp valve“ common-rail pressure sensor on my D3-110 iC.

Good luck

Betreff: [Amel Yacht Owners] Volvo Penta D3-110 Problem

 


My VP D3 110 suddenly gives me fault codes 1 and 2 and the red light suggests that I have a serious malfunction.

checking the fault codes, 1 means starter motor does not work or is slow (it starts the motor perfectly) and 2 means alternator is not charging, or weakly charging - I measured and this is not true either.

On top of that I get no turbo pressure the EVC tells me, while the Turbo most certainly is running perfectly.

 

Does anybody have had the same problem or migh know what ist could be? The VP guys here seem to be in the dark too.

Espar diesel heating system

James Cromie
 

Greetings fellows - 

I would like to ask the group of Amel Super Maramu owners for any advice on installing an Espar Diesel heater that I plan to install on my boat.  

I already have the fresh air ventilation system in place with its associated ducting.  

I am contemplating  doing the installation myself, and would like to know if others have installed this system on their own boats.  

I would also like to know about others' experience with any problems with the installation or functioning of the heater.  


Any bits of knowledge or wisdom are appreciated!


Many Thanks.

I certainly don't speak for the group owner - don't even know who it is.
I did think you might take the hint from the other Bill last week about commercial usage. 
I used to get forum email on ssb and I've got a small phone screen, but not a biggie.
Btw, do you have a non-business email to which to send a pm?

Cheers, Craig SN68

Craig, 

I know that you do not like me, probably because I am an opinionated old-fart. And, I did not realize that you spoke for the owner of the group, or all members of this group. Had I known that I would have copied you in my direct emails to the owner of this group. 

The next time that you chose to scold me publicly, I would appreciate it if you take that private instead. You can email me direct at bill"at"amelschool.com

In the meantime, I will consider your suggestion, and, BTW, as one old fart to another, nobody I know uses SSB for social media or forum downloads.

Dear Bill,

 

While we all love you, really appreciate your contributions and are so glad you didn’t “go dark” after selling your SM "Bebe", I’ve gotta say that 90 word salutation of yours is a bit over the top. It smacks of commercialism with the link to your business and the legalistic “don’t-sue-me” disclaimer, it sucks up bandwith for SSB downloads, overflows cell phone displays, and, while we’re all proud of our volunteer activities and honors, most don’t feel a need to broadcast them with rank, honorary title and all.

 

How about a modest,

“Bill Rouse, X-Bebe, SMxxx”

 

instead of,
