Solar and shade
I’m thinking about where to add more solar to my boat and the wheel house of the A55 is an obvious place. Problem is that the space is often shaded by the boom, particularly at anchor. Would it

Hi Thomas
Thank you so much for sharing and it certainly helps me moving forward, you have a strong system and I’d expect it works well for you
I’m certainly expecting that more solar generation

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)
Sure, I should say my solar is producing around 15A in direct sunlight, I would like around 30A production which would provide me with more than I would use in a day

You, sir, are correct!
Amps is an instantaneous measurement of current.
Amp hours are over time.

Hi Matt
only to be correct, mybe you also mix something
Amps are not power
Amps are current
Power (el) is Watt

Paul, you may be mixing up amps and amp-hours (ah).
Amps is the real-time power.
Ah is over a time period.

Hello Thomas, as a matter of interest could you please let me know the specifications of solar panels and configuration? 200ah is excellent generation and I’m wanting to double my 600w/24 solar, it

Solar perf:
I measured 5.5kWh in 24h, so 229Ah @ 24V nominal, but really 200Ah at 27.5V which is more the battery voltage. Interestingly, a slight overcast seems to be beneficial to solar production.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Main Sail Furling Motor Issue
Scott,
I agree 100% that if possible, disassembling the part that you are rebuilding first and checking what is already installed before ordering replacement parts is the best course of action to take

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Main Sail Furling Motor Issue
I can attest that the mainsail manual furling gearbox's larger, upper lip seal on my Amel54 was 45x58x7 mm OD had a machine shop remove the old bearings and seals and he called me to inform me that
