IMPORTANT CORRECTION: In my earlier message, below, I stated you need a normally open switch. You need a NORMALLY CLOSED switch. In operation the the bow thruster raises or lowers and contacts the swi

I opted for the low tech approach. First I installed a small filter prior to the refrigeration raw water pump to filter out the smaller unwanted bits that escape the main strainer or grow in the suppl

Hi Jeff, On our boat the compressor is mounted underneath the refrigerator, underneath the chest refrigerator/freezer, and to the port side of the refrigerator/freezer under the salon seat. The Danfos

You might consider looking for a way to sound insulate the little Marco pump. We have two of a similar model Marco's that replaced the Amel AMFA pump. The Marco pumps are significantly quieter than th

I am assuming that the bow thruster extends and retracts OK. We had a similar problem that turned out to be the solenoid pack mounted on the side of the bow thruster motor. It had corroded and would o

My advice would be to become very VERY familiar with both models. You will then be able to evaluate different vessels and understand what prior owners have or have not done. One common thread that see

The Climma utilizes an electric heating element, a number of other brands utilize a heat pump or reverse cycle system that requires the A/C raw water pump to run when in the heating mode. If you have

Yes, I did see errors in the Delos video. Thank you for pointing out this video otherwise I would not have known about it and would have missed an opportunity to view any part of the video.

In the information you provided on August 6 you mentioned that your water maker outputs approximately 80 LPH consuming 600 W. We have the Dessalator 160 which is 220 V only. When operating it is spece

Could you specify the four errors you identified on the Delos video for anyone that is still just marginally Amel challenged? Thanks.

Glad you have your pump working. Would you have the part number of the motor brushes or the physical dimensions and a photo. I would like to find a source for these parts. Thanks.

We cleaned the water tank on our 54 shortly after purchase. We know Amel did not build all boats the same but I cannot believe they would make a significant change such as going from one to three tank
