Thanks for that Bill and Kent I just went and checked with my multimeter to be sure that the 12V alternators are isolated...and they are....they have separate -ve cables that are insulated from the

Kent, Thanks for the non-deserved compliment. BTW, my friend told me that when he pressed Bavaria very hard they replaced the sail drive at no charge because his Bavaria owner's manual was in error

Thanks, Bill, I am still using the original 24v alternator, and it is isolated. Unfortunately the engine and starter and 12v alternator are not isolated. I'm waiting to hear from Yanmar to see if

Kent, I know you have checked this out, but your large alternator should also be isolated. If the new engine mechanic used the same alternator that Amel installed, you are probably OK, but I remember

Thanks Olivier, I guess the original owner had double pole breakers installed. I should be able to isolate the engine from the batteries when not running it. There is nothing on the battery side of

Hi Chris, It's about 2 inches thick and yes I cut it to fit. No worries about condensation. I do have a fairly thick mattress pad over it. I don't remember exactly what it cost, but it was fairly

Hi Kent, with the batteries breakers you have now, you can't turn the engine OFF only while running (or being in the harbor or at Anchor). One of these breakers cuts both 12 and 24 positives, the

Thanks Olivier, I've got a plan now. The voltage thru the bonding system is battery voltage (25-27VDC), but it won't light a 5watt bulb. Mike (electrical engineer) doesn't think it's what caused the
