It has been a surprise to me how much seaweed and other dirt accumulates in the heat exchanger for the gear box even though there is a strainer at the intake point. Amel recommends that the heat

Hi! I am looking for opinions and recommendations to make my SN independent of electricity in case of eg a lightning strike frying my electronics in the middle of the NAT or PAC. Navigation is clear,

Hello, what I understood is that these LiFePO4 batteries don’t like to be for days, weeks ...months at 100%SOC. Where the 50-60% is preferable for storage. A little of a few % charge once a month
