A54 bow thruster emergency switch
|
Hello to the group, One word about the BT emergency switch. Amel recommended to push (without load)the emergency switch regularly several times to prevent malfunction. There might be a risk of corrosion. Wolfgang Weber SY Elise Amel 54 #162

Wolfgang, maybe this switch you are referencing is only on late model A54s. I do not have one to my knowledge.
Where is it located on your boat? Thanks, Jamie Phantom, A54 #44

This red knob is the emergency switch for the bow thruster on Amel 54#162. Inside the box are relay and fuse. Wolfgang

Oh, I see what you are talking about. That disconnects a lot more than the bow thruster.
It also shuts off the anchor controls. I had to replace mine with a rotary switch, as the original pushbutton rusted solid. Thanks Jamie Phantom, A54 #44

Jamie, Amel added it later than your production. I would add it if I were you. Please do not quote me, but I thought Amel had a kit for any 54 owner to install this if it wasn't originally installed by Amel

Hi Bill et al,

My 54 Hull 019 had the red stop button from when I bought her in 2017. In addition there is a description of its use and photo in the owners manual. My feeling is that it was installed from new, at the factory. Nick S/Y Amelia AML54-019 Leros Gr

Alain,
Are you the same Alain Durante who participated in the Transpacific race from Australia to Japan in a steel boat in the 80's If so, we met in the Japanese fishing harbour of Omosu where I kept my Maramu. You had a son by the name of Yuya. If I am correct please drop me a note at jean.boucharlat(at)orange.fr. I just came to France 10 days ago after more than 50 years in Japan.
My apologies to all other members for this private message. I couldn't resist trying to make sure.

Nick, in my experience, some, but not all Emergency Cut-Off Red Buttons were installed at Amel when the 54 was built. I am not sure if there is a time or a reason, but I have had clients that did not have this installed and Amel had sent them a kit. Bill

If your E-Stop button does not want to work a new actuator rated IP65 or higher, preferably IP67, would solve the issue and should not be affected by moisture in the future.

It is odd that Amel did not fit the red stop button on all the 54’s. Looking forward to getting back to Amelia in the spring and fingers crossed that the vaccine rollout will be well underway and we can go back to some normality. All the best Nick
