Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] batteries and prop paint
Jeff,
That is a very good decision. Amel switched to AGMs in the 55...well, they made a lot of changes with the 55 including the location of the batteries.
I believe that none of us are 100% qualified

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] batteries and prop paint
Hello Jeff,
I kept with the regular flooded lead acid batteries after Olivier told me not to change anything as one change affected many other things.
I probably have the same Dolphin chargers 30 amp

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] batteries and prop paint
Hello Pat,
Velox worked great for me for 1 year.
But here in San Juan, it doesn't work... I don't think anything would work here.
All my neighbors (and myself) have to clean the hull and propeller

Pat,
I said, "I have used lots of different ideas on the prop. The best has been Velox." I did not say Velox worked in all situations. I said of the things I have used which are listed and rated in

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] batteries and prop paint
Bill, If you say Velox is good , than I believe it to be true. Velox never responded to me ,when I asked this question,maybe you know. Is Velox not to be used in fresh water? I know some bottom paints

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] hookah
Hi Kent,
Good to know you are being safe.
I also use a 60’ hookah hose. But I use dive tanks for the air supply. We have a Bauer dive compressor aboard and can refill our own tanks.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] hookah
It's an oil less compressor, Mark, inline filter, and hose is safe. I got the info from a professional diver who, among other things like salvage, cleans boat bottoms. It's what he uses.

What does the washing detergent does?
Jeff,
The problem is not the battery charger, but your engine alternator.

My 2 cents: Extreme care should be taken with hookah systems. Inhaling air from a compressor not intended or specifically designed for breathing is a bad idea. Bacteria, oils and foreign particles

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] batteries and prop paint
Keep in mind that the AGM batteries have a different charge requirement then flooded ones. Second when out in the world you most likely will not find AGM replacement units.
Just a thought but if

Jeff , I used Velox this spring , three months later my prop was covered in barnacles. I contacted the company and got no response. I was in fresh water, perhaps it is not meant to be used in fresh
