Hi Nick, Quick question; Where did you get the Micron 77 from? I looked at a few chandleries in the Caribbean but did not find it. Cheers, Arno

Hi Colin, There's probably little doubt that attaching the extra 300W of solar directly to your battery bank did them more harm than good. The constant 28.8V from the alternator doesn't help either if

Kent, I don't know where you are planning on getting your batteries from but I highly recommend that you check this local Annapolis place for before you buy anything:

Our 8 x Trojan 105's 225amp 6v lead acid batteries failed here in Mauritius today after being plugged in to shore power whilst we travelled inland for 4 days. We have just purchased 8 x 220 amp 6V

Hi Paul, Antigua might prove more expensive but there must be a source to cope with all the a/c units out there. I can't remember what the mains voltage is in Antigua. I suspect 220V

Yes, have seen a Santorin here in LeMarin, Martinique some weeks ago which was modified to L shaped. But I don’t know whether they are still in Martinique or not. What are you looking for?

Thanks Bill for the insight on the various MHUs. I will keep the group posted on diagnosis. I agree with you regarding the pace of change being expensive for both the manufacturers and users. It

John, OK, wanted to make sure on the high hull number. I think that you may have bought the last 55. Anyway, the B&G analog 213MHU is repairable with multiple components. I understand that the B&G 608

Ian, Thanks for the detailed info - that's a great help. The 54 has a Frigoboat with connectors for both high & low pressure. It does seem then that I have a blockage then. I'm in Antigua so finding a

It is the digital MHU. Yes Amel 55, hull number 65, delivered March of this year.

Hi Paul, I have been servicing my fridge/freezers on Crusader for some years now, and also the unit in my flat. From what you say, I would suspect a blockage in the evaporator, most

John, Do you have the digital B&G MastHead Unit (MHU), or the B&G analog 213MHU? Is your Amel a 55, or 54...if 55, are you sure about hull #65? Best, CW Bill Rouse Admiral, Texas Navy Commander

I recently experienced a loss of wind direction data on my B&G Hydra while on passage. Wind speed continued to report normally, but all direction related data boxes displayed a flat line. A reboot

Hi Wolfgang, You can look at BatteryMagastore online I got 13 Hankook MF31-750 110Ah in Sept 2015, which cost £70 in UK and in France they now advertise them at about €88. They should last you

Dear Amel sailors, I am on the way to Hyeres /France and want New batteries for our Amel 54. Charger and everything will not be changed and I would like to buy nearly the same batteries - the

Hi Mohammad and Aty, So you don't have that 425A fuse on Kokomo? It'd be interesting to have other data points. When we started seeing A54s for sale, someone from the yard in Hyères told us Amel

Hi fellow Amel owners, From and environmental point of view; I feel that there is no problem at sea and in the open ocean. There is certainly a lot of hypocrisy regarding commercial vessels being

They may have told you that but since 2008, tin based antifouling has been banned in the US Google it .... Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

HiThomas; Yourfuse may have been added on because I've heard some surveyors andinsurance companies regard this situation as unsafe and will require the fuse tobe added. I'm pretty sure that we were
