If one downloads the Mastervolt manual for their 85A gel battery, it specifies 13.8V float (≈27.6V in series). At first blush, the Dolphin charger, if it floats at 27.2V, might not be compatible

Pat, I am also upgrading the 20 year old instruments on my boat, and I chose to go with B&G instruments and displays mostly because I am familiar with the look and feel from previous boats. Note that

Good afternoon Duane, I am not qualified to reply about how many batteries to changed (all or 4), and I am in the same situation (1 bad battery), I have heard both solutions, but on some partial

I think we saw this boat sitting in a marina in the Chesapeake as we were passing by. It made me do a double take, and was seriously ugly, as well as poorly maintained. Unless there are more than one

Duane, Since you do not know how old they are, Yes, replace all of them. If they were less than 2 years old, you might consider just replacing the failed ones. I strongly believe that you should

Thank you Bill! Duane

I would suspect this was from a de-mast… Interesting about changing the drive (does it mean he lost the keel too?) Going to be hard to sell… --------------------------------------------

I assume that anyone looking to buy an Amel, would never, ever buy this boat, but if you are looking for a Hunter, it may be the perfect boat. Bill BeBe 387 Trinidad

Here is something to stir the pot a little. My friend passed this link along to me. This owner even went as far as changing the C drive to a 8 degree shaft when re-powering. I want to apologize in

Well done ! Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

Dear all, I have finally fixed the alternator problem, and it was not really straight forward; After knowing about the relay and the red light in the 24 volt panel, I soon discovered that the circuit
