Thanks Bill. I was looking at those last night. I think the position on the pot might be compromised some!! but what price clean clothes. JP is on the case too in Martinique. He’s been very

Porter, Almost all small US washers that might fit will be rated at about 15 amps or 1725 watts @115VAC 60htz. The reason that the current consumed (amps) is lower with US washers is that EU washers

Hi Porter, I agree with Joel on the converting 50 to 60hz. I remember the other day, you saying that you were looking at getting a "transformer" to convert power but didn't think about it until

All excellent points Joel. Really trying not to stray.. But clean clothes!… I will most certainly call Jay, and I have a bottle of scotch for you. Do you like peat? Thanks Joel Porter Porter

A couple of challenges… I believe you are referring to a 230V-110V step down transformer. This device will do nothing to convert 50 htz 230V produced by the generator and the majority of shore

Best of luck. I flew to new Rochelle myself last Thursday. She's not as bad as they say. It was heat radiation not fire from a boat next to her. She's seems in very good shape. I've worked on glass

I made one search on Electrolux and found four that would fit. Article no EWS1252EDU, 850x595x377 mm Article no SW31K6121, 850x595x377 mm Article no EWS7146EDU, 850x595x448 mm capacaty 7 kg Article no

Hello, I purchased Eyes of the World. She will sail again! I plan on taking this boat around the world. I have 25 of experience with fiberglass boat repairs and this boat can be restored to strong

It seems a yet unsolved problem: Replacement washer for 54 Amel. Working with many capable folks on the forum: Joel P, Bill R. I have been unable to find a suitable replacement this side of the

Well said Bill, but I have to disagree about the batteries being held at 28.8 V for long periods of time. 14.4 V is the gassing voltage for a 12 volt battery and holding the 24V bank at 28.8V for long

Yes, there are differing opinions on this subject and hopefully, Eric, it is not WWIII. And I believe that you have to be especially careful when you say, "I do not believe that the alternator needs a

Hello Bill, once in a while I run my Eberspacher off a can filled with kerosene to clean it out. As our boats only have one fuel tank, this avoids diluting the diesel used for the

Ian, You bring up an interesting point when you say, "Did Amel get it wrong or.." I noticed that someone said something similar on the heater thread. My following comment is NOT for you or any of the

Hi all, I've just recently purchased two of these Alternator Regulators http://arduinoalternatorregulator.blogspot.com from Al Thomason. I'm yet to receive them, and they won't be fitted until late

Hello Ian, The regulator doesn't carry the 175 Amps, it just tells the alternator what to do. The current comes from the alternator. Any 3-stage regulator can control any alternator. The regulkator

Ian, The top of my batteries were covered with a big label. Once I cut the label. About 1/3 of the top of the battery was the cover of all the 6 cells.. I put a very large screwdriver under the

Hello Alan, my solar panels also deliver 28.8V to my house batteries for long periods of time. However the charge regulators ensure that no current is flowing until needed. When the
