Hello We had the same issue last year. Solenoid issue, cleaned and working again. Soraya & Thomas GARULFO A54-122 Marquesas, FP

On Amelia I have a Trace 70A charger 2.5KW inverter that I bought to replace the old Dolphin 100A Charger that was defective when I bought the boat. I wanted an 100A charger but the Trace was on

Mark. I am sure what the Victron technician meant with shore power / generator was eitherone and not both, of course. The word 'simultaneously" was referring to AC and water heater use, in his

You stated that “For example, should a water heater and Air conditioning unit wish to be used simultaneously and in conjunction with shore power / on board generator the 50A unit would be chosen

Hi Dan "Regarding the power-pass current, I am not clear how Victron handles this. I am assuming that it is counting this as part of the 16amp limit on the AC input side, so this would limit what I

Hi Colin, thanks for the reply and added information. Regarding the water maker: that is the key consumer for me and I am sure that the 160lph consumes a lot more current that the Dou100; however,

Well, we have an GRP sailing yacht in Sweden that is built 1962, she is still going strong in the hands of our sons. So your guess is as good as anyones in how long a GRP-hull will

Thanks for the replies. I really don't want to get a Santorin: the changes to their layout is not that great. So if the Meltem, Mango and Maramu don't have watertight aft cabin, then I think it's a

Hi Dan Unfortunately I do not have the time right now to write a full response, but briefly looked at your diagram and can confirm that the Victron unit you describe is excellent and has serviced us

Although the 46’-48’ Maramu did have a door to give privacy to the aft cabin, I have yet to see a Maramu with a watertight door in the aft cabin. We all know that Amel was extremely resistant to

Additionally, the aft shower drains directly to the engine room so flooding of the aft cabin could occur unless a valve was installed to be able to shut off that ingress point. Dave Wallace sv Air

Hello all, I have been thinking through the best way to install a Victron Multi-Plus Inverter/Charger on SM#387. I am specifically looking at the 3000w/70a/24v/16a model. I have seen several

In the Maramu the space in the engine room is smaller, in favor of a huge locker in the cockpit. All Maramu have a watertight door that close the aft cabin. Giorgio Ardrizzi Saudade III - Sharki

Hello Might anybody he kind enough to answer my questions below? Is the Maramu 46 engine compartment larger than the Santorin's ? Were any Maramus built with a watertight aft cabin

Thanks Craig, I think i found it (at least another thread where you quoted it). I will have a look to see what could be done. Cheers Thomas

Wade, I have also seen exhaust hose used for stuffing boxes and so far have not seen a failure. Perhaps the exhaust hose is being used by yards since they tend to have that hose on hand whereas

Wade, If the cutlass bearings were made accurately it could matter a little but if the shaft feels tight and is not rattling then I would not worry about it. In my experience there is sometimes

Re: cutlass. - I don’t know if the shaft was ever changed. But 1 3/8” = 1.375” and 35mm = 1.37795. Shaft is tight and does not wiggle side to side or up and down. I wonder if the less than 3
