Sailboat DIY repairs & maintenance are a BIG part of boating life, and like most old boats, our Amel Super Maramu needs a lot TLC. So I have created this CZcams channel to show the mechanical mishaps, breakdowns and marine upgrades I have experienced. From outboard repairs to solar installations, from diesel engine maintenance to rigging repairs - real world problems and solutions in a real world environment with top tips, and equipment reviews.
We're a UK family travelling the world by sea and video blogging as we go. Our main CZcams channel 'Mothership Adrift' follows our travels and adventures, the wonders and frustration of 'living the dream'.
I hope you find these blogs helpful and might even see you out here one day!

I Destroy our #Cummins / #Onan Generator Cooling System, Melting our #Vetus Waterlock and Hoses!
#sailinglife #boatlife #diyproject #vetus #boatrepair #boatmaintenance #marinegenerator #generatormaintenance #cumminspower #cummins #cumminsengine #boatgenerator #creatorofboatsystems #offgridliving #generatorepairing
Despite renewables we still rely on our Onan / Cummins generator when the sun doesn't shine. However, after forgetting to close the sea water shutoff valve I completed melted the raw water cooling system on our generator.
In this maintenance blog I strip down and completely rebuild the cooling system replacing the waterlock / muffler, impeller, exhaust and cooling water hoses.
If you're a professional, expert or even an old salty sea dog with some good advice on how to repair a Onan / Cummins marine generator.. or even how to fix a Onan / Cummins marine diesel powered engine, then please leave any constructive criticism, insight and advice in the comments below the videos.

That charger is now 3800!
liked you're fiber glass work ( :
Thanks for that ours is leaking the same but now I am thinking we gotta clean the whole thing instead of just replacing a washer 🙄
Well done
Danke, das war sehr hilfreich. Liebe Grüße aus Germany, Ela& Frank.🙋♀️🙋🏻♂️
Man, I thought rv maintenance was an ordeal!
Well done. Very easy to understand explanations.
Hi again, I notice you have anodes on your rudder? I’ve never seen this on any other Super Maramu’s? Usually just the 2 anodes on the rudder as the keel is connected to those via the bonding strap in the bilge.
On the keel you mean? Yeh it already had those on there when we bought it. The bonding strap was broken so I wondered whether previous owner noticed some galvanic corrosion and added them without checking the bonding strap. Anyway I reinstated the bonding strap but kept the extra anodes. Another manufacturer with a similar keel.. Maybe Colvics or Contest (?) recommended adding extra anodes to the keel so I figured it’d do no harm so kept them.
Hi Woody, can I ask is there a reason why you shortened the pole from the end that takes the sheet, rather than the end that connects to the smaller jokey pole?
Either end would have done the job really but I noticed the rivets needed replacing on that end anyway.
I have this same job to do, but forward where the eye bolt is for attaching the block to where the pole fore-guy connects. Would you say that G10 board I’d strong enough to tap and the bolt hold there?
Yea definitely. I was a bit unsure as I’d never worked with the stuff before so was a bit shy with it and didn’t really add enough. I would have doubled the thickness in hindsight and saved myself a lot of fibreglass layering!
Thanks!
Appreciate it Hugo.. thank-you 👍
Thank you. I’ve just bought a new me boat and there is a 25lt version to check over.
Please tell us you did not use welding cable. They are NOT suitable for marine use
If you’re referring to the untinned copper, I replaced like for like as the previous cabling had been in the boat for nearly 25 years.. so figured it was good for another 25.
@@MothershipMaintenance Your insurance company will most likely disagree. And the sheathing is not suitable for a marine environment
Thank you!
Welcome!

Many thanks. I'm just about to go through this whole process and found your video. I feel a lot more confident doing this now. Cheers from Sweden 👍
Thanks!
Welcome!
The 3 pole 40 amp circuit breaker you put in between the AC Outlet on your inverter & the load, was it a AC or DC circuit breaker?
Woody, arent there big cable exiting the engine room at the floor and mid way up by the filter? But, then they are all in the cabin step... how do they come together? I am trying to route the WS500 cables and am afraid of hitting one of those big cables.
They just all squeeze together behind the insulation. It’s not pretty and tricky to get in there.. you just have to fish around with your hand in the engine bay while someone wiggles them from the other end!
FYI the type of thermometer you used to check the thermostat cannot give accurate readings of liquids or wet/shiny objects.

BUEN TRABAJO CAPITAN SALUDOS DESDE LATITUD 34 S. ARGENTINA Y BUENA PROA !!!
We kept our old water lock from our Onan generator! Just in case anyone wanted one!!
So much extra work due to a simple seacock mistake. I hope it works out in the long run
Thank you, great video, but I find the language difficult. I hope that if you have time in the future, you will bring these elements above the long one, how they are connected to each other and their role in cooling. I am weak in English.
Ka-Ching. More money 😮
hello mate from the other part of the world :) some suggestions from me :) 1 make another sea cock to have the genset separated and easily used for the main engine in case of emergency ;) 2 see if you can manage to rig that stop solenoid to the alarm system as this could have been easily avoided , that onan is equipped with 3 shut down alarms, low oil pressure , high coolant temp and high exhaust temperature, these only work if the system is connected to a functional shut off solenoid :) if that is not possible to fix or too expensive (ask me how I know ) you can always order a temperature gauge with alarm and install one on the exhaust and another on the engine coolant , whilst you are at it an oil pressure alarm and its all set , sure you can find on ebay or aliexpress etc , keep it up and if you need you know where to reach out :) fair winds and say hi to all :)
Easy error to make. I've done something similar and now always hang a key or a tag on the start switch when I do anything to the engine so I know to check everything before just mindlessly starting it. It doesn't always work with new people who might not realize what the tag/key means but at least you will get a bit of a reminder. It's saved me from having to McGyver in remote locations (which you are exceedingly good at). Glad you got it sorted out and that you didn't have to dive in Salty infested waters to find that adapter!
Thanks Steve.. I actually had masking tape over the engine starter.. but stupidly overlooked the generator starter :/
Here in Switzerland you can have two cars and one registration plate. Of course it's easy to drive off without having changed the registration plate - potential big fine. So I have a sign saying 'Don't be stupid!' on the steering wheel of the car without the registration plate to remind me not to dive it without changing it. Since then there's been a 100% reduction in stupidity. Well, number plate stupidity.
GRAN TRABAJO WOODY !!!! MUY BUEN VIDEO !!! TE MANDO UN GRAN SALUDO DESDE ARGENTINA
The only issue to be aware of, and I am sure you would know this is condensation on the outside of the freezer when in warmer climates, they just don’t have the amount if insulation that your old fridge did.
Para tornillos se caen muchas veces y no se pueden sujetar para colocarlos, tener plastilina, se utiliza en manualidades de los niños, no arcilla
Thanks!
Great video. However, as a plumber you should wear disposable gloves when working on the drains. It is calcium, but also contains bacteria from pee and poop. Any cuts on your hands and you risk an infection.
Yeh I do try but with the gloves coming on and off I often forget :/
Thanks!
Welcome!
Thanks
appreciate it James 👍
Great JOB.... Hope you guys have a smooth sailing forward, with lots of cold beer.... Ken
I hope so too Ken.. we’ve just arrived in Indonesia.. we should catch up soon!

Is the cabinet well enough ventilated for cooling efficiency?
Yes there’s a big hole where the previous cooling fan used to be and plenty of space around the unit.
Excellent video well done. 👍👍
Thank you 👍
Great job…. Told you it was knackered 😅
It was on life support for so long :/
Another great video ! Good timing as I’m thinking of doing the same thing for my 1983 Westerly Sealord. Existing ‘cool’ box works ok ish but draws about 60 amps and is really noisy. Any idea on the power draw of yours ?
Wow 60amps is a lot! I’m on 24v system but my previous unit was drawing about 7amps and this new one 4amps max when freezing but a lot less once it’s frozen and cruising.
Thank you, your video was helpful for locating the bolt to tighten up the belt.
Glad it helped
My brother had a 1959 Johnson 5hp, and it ran great. He gave it to a Man who had a young family and he still uses it to this day!!! By the way, reverse was instituted by turning the motor 180 degrees.
Thx! +++
Brilliant....If you're passing my way.............
It's the hard way and it's the wrong way to clean out the toilet tube. My tube is 1.5" and 6 meter, i cleaned it out in 20 minutes using 30% acetic acid.(Keep the sea water inlet closed while doing it, after putting 6 liter inn little by little and taking my time I flush it slowly out using cold fresh water(no seawater) septic hose should never be near heat and you should never throw hot water in it.
Tuto duper bien fait merci
Man do you have the room to work on this... I am looking to rebuild my TMD22B as a replacement D2-75 is around $18,400. I am concerned about how much live the heat exchanger has left on it as it was installed around 1998.
