Re: Diaphragm Bilge Pump failure.
John Clark
Hi Dan,
The technician at Amel in Le Marin (the fellow that used to work with Jean Collin, has been there a while) talked me into buying a spare pump last year. The new pump looks nearly identical to the old one, same manufacturer. I have not used it yet. We are currently cruising full time and the original pump gets a fair bit of run time. It runs for about 15 -30 seconds to drain the gray water sump. I'm not sure which Amel supplied pump you have, but the one that came with my SM (#37) has been good, except for the suction flapper valve becoming misaligned...which I finally fixed with a modification....don't tell Bill R. Anyway the pump that came with my hull seems to be reliable, you might want to see if this version would fit with your layout. Oh and Bill K is right, centrifugal pumps are sensitive to crud in the water. I would not rely on one as the primary water mover. Regards, John SV Annie SM 37 about to sail out of St. Augustine.

I talked with Paul today, I don't know if it the same program you referenced. He indicated that if he were able to order 5 units or more he would receive substantial savings from Bamar that he would pass along. Could be they are being more restrictive as time passes and want greater numbers to reduce their unit costs??? Greater numbers could be beneficial to everyone. BTW I have no financial interest other than to reduce (selfishly) my overall cost. Hope this works to everyone's benefit.

Hi Porter, just to add to the statistics, our dive compressor is in the aft part of the large portside cockpit bench locker. It is 220v and wired to the "220v Cales" breaker. Same breaker as for 220 outlets in Engine Room. Regards, John SV Annie SM 37 About to sail out of St Augustine....

Hello
Mark & Debbie and welcome to the Amel Family.
Bamar
put out a letter in February 2017 that they would replace Amel Bamar furlers
with their new furlers at a reduced cost, if purchased by 12/31/2017. I
made several attempts at contacting them. They would acknowledge receipt of my
e-mails but never received an actual response.
It is
possible that the same offer could be pursued. We would be interested, if they
do provide the original offer. I have a copy of their original
offer.
Respectfully;

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Diaphragm Bilge Pump failure.

Don,
The problem with submersible centrifugal pumps like the Rule is they are the type of pump least tolerant of solids. They are best to pump only clean water. Lots of things get into our sumps (which are really gray water sumps, not bilges) that have the potential to cause grief with centrifugal pumps. You might have control over some of these things, by watching what you put down the galley sink for example, but some of the worst is hair from the shower drains that wraps around the shaft above the impeller, eventually stopping the pump from turning. Having an electric pump constantly immersed in water is also a potential source for very serious stray current corrosion--if there is a fault in the insulation or wiring. If you can't source an exact replacement, a Dometic/Sealand T-series discharge pump is a good alternative. Tough, long lasting, and will pump almost anything that can flow through the pipe. Lavac also sells a 24 volt electric diaphragm pump for their vacuum toilets that might be a good choice, but I have no personnel experience with those.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dive Compressor location suggestions.
James Studdart
Ours is also installed in the big cockpit locker, on sliding rails. I would be very wary of installing the compressor inside anywhere. It needs lots of airflow and generates a lot of heat. Since it needs fresh air to compress, make sure you add a snorkel to it if it’s in any smelly space (engine room, head, etc).
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The compressor has been one of the most wonderful “surprises” our Super Maramu came with. It’s let us dive in some magical places, clean the hull as needed and save bow thruster props and children’s toys... it wasn’t even on my “list” when looking for SeaBean! Cheers, James. SeaBean SM 344 Tahiti

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dive Compressor location suggestions.
Bill & Judy Rouse <yahoogroups@...>
Porter, I think the receptacle that you see in the aft lazarette on your 54 is 24VDC receptacle to accommodate a plug from a dinghy inflation pump. Amel mounted the Bauer dive compressor for a SM and the 54 in the cockpit lazarette, which as you know is valuable space. If I were you, I would remove that clothes dryer in the forward head and mount the Bauer dive compressor there. The Amel installed 220VAC dryer amperage should be close to the amperage of the Bauer Junior. The 2hp Junior draws about 12 amps at 230VAC. That should be close to the amperage of your dryer. You will want to research rubber dampening mounts, and might consider having a wood panel enclosure made.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dive Compressor location suggestions.
Hello Porter, I have my Bauer compressor in the middle of the lazarette, fixed with 4 lines at 4 points. I have to wind it up with the halyard and electric winch on the deck for filling up the tanks. So the compressor has a good ventilation to cool and the airinlet is protected from CO/CO2. The compressor is in the lazarett a deeper place of the boat and I can use the cockpit for other things.I would never remove anything or the dryer installed by Amel. If you do not use your compressor on sea or daily , I am very satisfied with my solution. Safe sailing and diving to all Ameliens. Wolfgang Weber SY Elise Amel 54 #162 Marina di Ragusa Italy

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Dive Compressor location suggestions.

HI, You did not identify what model boat you have. However, if it is a Super Maramu, the factory mounted it in the port cockpit locker. Also, looking at the plug on the compressor it seems to be a 220 volt compressor. On my AC panel there is a circuit breaker for the compressor. If I am not mistaken the outlet in the stern locker is a 24 volt outlet , used to inflate your dinghy.
