Re: C-Drive vs Linecutter
Hi Tim
On CottonBay we do that every 6/7 years and do 120-160 hrs / Year, so I agree with 1000hrs,
We NEVER had water in the Cdrive, never....
Next I will put on the bronze

Re: Converting my Amel 54 to lithium batteries: what I did, what I like and what I don't like (after one year of full time live aboard use)
FYI it turns out my Quattro is mounted vertically in the engine room, so airflow is as Victron recommends. That is probably why it doesn't suffer any reduced charging output or inverter output after

Re: Annapolis Boat Show
Hi Pat. Tom and I hope to be there Thursday and Friday. A nice dinner place on Back Creek would be Davis’s Pub which a block from Mears Marina. May avoid some of the downtown hubbub. Rustic, good

Re: C-Drive vs Linecutter
Hi Tim,
Amel recommend replacing the 3 c drive shaft seals and the wearing bearing every 1000hrs. Most of us do the change biannually regardless of hours. It is an easy and relatively low cost

Re: C-Drive vs Linecutter
It looks to me that there is some sort of O ring at the top of the threaded portion. It is black. What is that?
I would guess the chance of having water inside the C-Drive 4 years beyond service date

I'll prepare to replace the working as well. No issues yet, but is getting of the age.
I had the same thoughts about replacing with the white.

Re: Aqua Signal Series 44 LED port/starboard bow nav lights
I’m sure one can reverse engineer most any light, but, FWIW, the Series 44 is described on Aquasignal’s web site as being a deck mounted light. The 34 series is listed as side mount.

Re: Converting my Amel 54 to lithium batteries: what I did, what I like and what I don't like (after one year of full time live aboard use)
Thanks, Scott. Lots to think about. What happened on my overcharging episode was that the sensing wire was loose at the alternator. Result was that the voltage read by the regulators was some 3V

Re: Aqua Signal Series 44 LED port/starboard bow nav lights
We did the Aquasignal 34 series for vessels under 50 meters. Fit nicely on the back plate, even the holes lined up with the those left behind by the old Aquasignal incandescent fixture.

Re: Aqua Signal Series 44 LED port/starboard bow nav lights
Hi Dan,
I replaced the wiring from the lights, through the bow pulpit, all the way back to the port deck locker. This let me get the length of the wire exactly correct. I was having wiring issues

Climma AC fan speed will not change
Hi All;
The aft cabin AC fan speed selection had been working intermittently for a while. Speeds 1,2 and 4 would work fine but sometimes when the selection was changed from 2 to 4 it would not speed

Paul,
I don't read SOC but rather cell by cell voltage via bluetooth. I rarely see more than 0.02v difference between cells.

Hey Scott,
What individual SOC do you read on each battery in respect to out of balance with each battery please once a month before you recharge to 100%?
As I have mentioned, my #1 battery is

Joerg,
Thanks for the link.
I think your charging takeaways are for extreme longevity. I'm curious what the data is with respect to how longevity is affected by high charge currents. I do know that
