Hello dear Amelians,
Finaly on board again of my SM in Greece,
I want to start sailing today, but there appeared a small problem. The inlet valve of the washing machine will not close for 100%. So I looked for a valve in the water intake line. I can't find it. Is there a valve (like the one for the dish washer; this one is easy to see)?
Best regards,
Willem Kroes

Hi Elja,
Thank you for your fast reaction. I looked, but there is nothing under the gasoven or under the adjecent floor board. May be the Amel yard changed the piping infrastructure on later SM's.

Thank you Bill, I found the valve behind the cleaning stuff. I did not expect it on this side,but must admid that I failed to consult the manual. Anyway, the problem is solved (also with the water intake valve at the washing machine side). I am very happyt to be on my boat again after so many months of lock down. The Greek authorities made a great leap foreward with their digital system. There are also some very reliable Greek websites for updates on the Covid-19-situation in Greece, like this one: https://www.atoz-guides.com/coronavirus-in-greece-update/Thanks again and stay healthy!

Along the same lines, I had a sink faucet fail last year, and had no way to shut water off to one faucet. On my list is to put a shutoff valve on every faucet. I didn't know there was a shutoff valve for the washer. Gotta find that.

Kent,
I purposefully said, "Later model SM2ks had the following (photo from the Users Manual)"
I have no idea when the cut-off valve was added by Amel, but I have seen some SMs that did not have one.

Thanks Danny and Bill. I'll look under the stove, don't think I have ever been in there.
Are the piping to the sinks all PEX fittings? Anybody know the size of the fittings?
