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)
Jamie,
Good to hear it's working out for you. Have you tried to run AC all night on battery yet? We draw 25-35% if we run just aft AC overnight.

Re: Mizzen furler
Hi Pat:
It is unclear to me what you are referring to when you say, "the problem is in the swivel part of the furler".
Are you unable to crank the winch handle drive more than 360 degrees?

Re: Mizzen furler
Ann-Sofie, I am guessing that is the same one documented in Bill's book and it was the furler/swivel for the genoa .I saw that and thus saw that a plug needs to be removed allowing the bearings out in

Re: YANMAR 4JH3-HTE Diesel Engine RPMs drop and then it quits
Could I ask for some clarification on the use of the Racor filter gauge. My understanding is that this is a vacuum gauge and the higher the reading the more fuel blockage there is. Reading below runs
