Hi Alexandre,



my SM2K was fitted (by Amel) with a 1600W Crystec
inverter. I am not
certain of the spelling? Help please Olivier! The Dutch
firm Victron
have a good reputation once again after some problems,
so you might
want to check them out too. I would avoid cheap Chinese
models. A
friend bought one and he was unable to interface his GPS
into his
laptop due to the very high noise levels that the
inverter was
sending down the 240V wiring. Noise can also affect your
Navtex and
SSB reception too.



Sorry about your inverter mishap. Mine got very wet once
too after a
HP hose failure some years ago, but I cleaned it and it
has worked
perfectly ever since. Another good reason to put plastic
piping over
the hose connectors to limit the spray.



Your tech might have said the hoses were in good
condition but did
he unscrew the connectors and inspect for corrosion?
Stainless
connectors are worth the extra cost.

Good morning,



Last weekend, went sailing/fishing, used the
water maker
and the high pressure hose failed (at the exit
of the
water pump). Look like water reach the
ceiling…

I was particularly upset as I had it checked
in Fort
Lauderdale, the technician changed the
membrane but said
the hoses were good and I should keep the ones
I ordered
as spare…



Thankfully my 2 battery chargers were not
damaged, but the
inverter was…

First lesson: if I think the hose has to be
changed and
expert says no, I will change them anyway as
the
collateral damage and cost could be many times
over the
cost of the hoses…



So here is the question:

I have the Statpower Prosine 1800i (230 Volt)
with the
Interface Panel.

I don’t think this is an Amel original
equipment, but was
added by the previous owner.



Which inverter do you have or recommend and
why? (only
asking for inverter - not charger/inverter).




Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Alexandre
