On my 55#44 I have still original MV 12V/200A gel batteries for service and replaced last year the starting battery MV 90 Ah AGM, The ventilation exist as Joerg describe earlier I have changed the

Eric, How wise it it to burn propane in an enclosed space albeit with a slightly open companionway? Does your CO2 or CO alarm sound off? Appears that CO2 and H2O are byproducts -

Eric, I'll look to see if I have those blowers, but I don't believe I have them. The luxury of linking the heater with the engine and hot water circuits, along with the option of a cockpit heating

Good Morning Alan, At the risk of sounding stupid, what do you mean by "low SOC batteries?" I avoid letting my battery voltage drop below 24volts. They are standard lead acid. I was also looking into

Courtney, I haven't tried to post any pictures onto the Amel site. I'll try to figure out how to do it, and take some pictures of the components, and the put the pictures up. It's a pretty simple set

Eric, I'm not sure what you mean about a forced air system. It was cold north of the gulf stream. I had a small propane heater for the trip. It worked but it was a temporary solution. That bladder
