Porter, You've astutely pointed out one of the major advantages of Lifepo4. Charging your lead (?) batteries between 80-100% maximizes their longevity but results in them having trouble accepting

Hey Scott, thank you and I was figuring a 5000w inverter upgrade (Maybe a 7500w when available)to run all from 24v when possible, I too have a Bauer junior. I guess then genset is still a great

Scott sorry You completely misunderstand me and I do not like your message towards me!Thats not the way we comunicate within this forum ! I only ask you how you can handel your battery capacity.

Here’s the lithium difference: we also have about the same solar 3x LG315s. We’re in FP. Nice sunny days. Attached is our last month. We just can’t absorb the energy like a lithium, we go

Paul, At the risk of costing you some money on upgrades, I will say that being able to run all the 220v appliances without the genset is one of the biggest advantages of having lithium. Especially the

Although not available everywhere, we’ve used paraformaldehyde crystals. Learned about them from a Canadian friend, when we were in Trinidad. In US, brands are Sun-Pac, Mildew-zone. There are

Scott, unfortunately my aircon and washing machine and water maker does not work of my inverter otherwise I’d love to, maybe I can upgrade my inverter and wire them in to the 720ah lithium 24v

Paul, You should try to run one of the AC units on battery for a few hours one night. Once the room is cooled (aft cabin in our case), the compressor duty cycle is 25-35% in my experience. Of course,

Hanspeter, Given the tone of your message, I get the impression that you're quite argumentative. I'm not interested in getting into an internet urination contest, so I'll just provide data and

I used cat litter with great success when I was leaving my ex-Lagoon 450 in New Zealand off season. I bought several aluminum disposable cooking pans, filled them with cat litter and placed them in

Hi Scott amazing so on your electric solar system you produce an average of 8.3 A on 24 v ! even by night! Tell us what special kind of solar panal you use ! And btw you use the Duo watermaker (60 or

Gerry, I like all Amel models, including the newest 50 and 60. Some models are an evolution of previous Amels, and some models break new ground like some of the first models Henri Amel made.

Marina Seca in San Carlos, Mexico has some great storage tips for all their customers, including being sure seal all open through hulls with something like bronze wool to keep the bugs and vermin out

Hi Elaine; I would be interested in BG hydra system. Can you pleae give me info about the price location…etc seckinbar@... Seckin SY HAYAT SM76

Scott, No I don’t run any appliances that require the genset usually until the batteries require charging then I make water etc, of course if I require the aircon I need to run the genset Regards

Hi Lucy, it is better if you take out the depth-sensor and run a hose from the dehumidifier through the hull. I would not recommend draining to the bilge if nobody will check the bilge for such a long

Hallo I took my deep sounder out. So you do not have to run the bilge pump. Fare winds Heinz, quetzal, sm2000, 292 Am 06.08.2019 um 03:56 schrieb Starfish via Groups.Io <lucyannepearce@...>:

Hi Lucy An easy solution is to pull out the deep sensor and drain through this hole. Leopold YinYang SM 69 Samoa Von meinem iPad gesendet Am 06.08.2019 um 14:56 schrieb Starfish via Groups.Io

Hi Gerry, I have owned a 55 for 4 years and sailed it some 9000 miles. I’m not selling it. I think you should talk to real owners, rather than consultants or people interested in selling you

Set the dehumidifier on the galley counter. Drain it into the galley sink. Does the galley sink drain overboard, or into a grey water tank? If overboard, no problem. If into a tank, then you’ll need
