i've been working on Li Batteries for a few weeks since we're going to upgrade in spring 21. for our SM, I have a narrow selection the batteries from Victron

Hi All, I wanted to share an observation on that subject: Despite having a very clear water circuit to the engine, we would sometimes get that squirting in the anti-siphon vent. After much head

Interesting Oliver, What sizes 400 AHr battery? Can they fit in our battery box? Do you have a recommendation for a brand you think is high quality? Thanks, Kent

The belts are A section, Yanmar number is 25132-004600, generic A46. I have found that Dayco cogged belts last longer than standard V-belts. The dual belts on the LN 175A alternator and the single

Impeccable timing on your circumnav- we are stuck in Hawaii now waiting......had a new shutdown just last night. The AC water pump capacitor caused a genset shutdown at what should have been about 3

Bill, Is this a pieceof foam – about 2-3” - attached with a tie to the cable? It’s hard to tell. Thanks. Sailing Vessel- Cream Puff www.creampuff.us

If you can't keep the foam, one can attache cable ties to the cable and keep +/-5 cm of it, a few cable ties every 30-40 cm will take away most of the noice as it prevents the cable to dangle against

Thanks to all for your advice. Where would you set float on your alternator, Elja? I have a separate controller, so I can set float where ever I want it. Kent

Mark, I posted a photo (not a good one) earlier in this thread.

Then you have to go to Victron , they have a seperate BMS one for all batteries , and then you have all in one hand Charger/ inverter Solar regulation and altinator . One other question What happens

If someone could please post a picture of the foam, this wouldbe very helpful to me. I will soon bereplacing the Antenna (main mast), cables and VHF. I plan to thread the newcable from the top of

Hey Mark- your post caught my eye because we are hull #422....,Bill's approach (eliminate sensors one by one) is what we do on L'ORIENT. I'm troubled by the lack of a diagnostic code, though. We've

We have the 175A LN alternator on a Yanmar 4JH3TE with double pulleys on the LN Alternator, and single on the 12V alternator. All three belts are the same... Dayco cogged belts, no idlers, A section

Hello, I got and tested the Optibelt pullys for 90mm discs. And to be tightened over their back. Did not change anything. Still dust and wear. I will switch to serpentine belts. Can' t be
