Re: Inverter replacement
Hi Nick et al. I agree with you. I was considering a move from my SM to a 54. I would never never consider one with the sort of complexity many 54 owners are installing. These are boats, not luxury

Re: Inverter replacement
Hi Mohammad,
I have altered the 230V switch panel so now all groups are supplied by the inverter. It does mean you need to think about the things you switch on simultaneously but with the original

Mystery line/rope found in locker
Dear Forum,
In one of our cockpit lockers of our A54 I found this line/rope. I knew it was in there but I still fail to come up with a sensible usage of this thing. It seems the previous owner used it

Re: Inverter replacement
The one thing to keep in mind is that one day you will sell the boat. The systems need to be idiot proof and understandable to a lay person….I am not saying yours is not.
It is all very well having

Hi Nick;
We will currently be using the inverter/charger as an inverter only and keep the balance of systems and chargers as they are. We will not be connecting an AC source to the invert/charger,

Re: Short Tricolor to Mooring light
You may have a chafed cable in the mast. Most likely at the top or at the base of the mast. If not and if you have a LopoLight LED masthead light, it may be broken. Their claim about a life expectancy

Hi Mohammad,
We went through the same problem, the 2kW inverter died (it is actually not a 2,5 kW inverter, the continuous load is only 2kW). So we also replaced the thing with the Mass Combi

Re: Inverter replacement
Mohammad,
1.Normally inverter chargers all have sleep modes. There will be a sensitivity setting that looks for a load. Some electronics demand so little power that the big inverter can not see it.

Re: VHF antennas
Nick,
Just noticed this re: using the SSB DSC cable as your AIS receive.
The SSB DSC comes from the triatic between the mizzen and main. You can see it on the photo you posted. SSB DSC is around

Re: Chain Counter
The only thing I would add is that this is an item that you buy 2 at a time. Put one away with your spares and notes on this project. It will next break when you are in Bora Bora.

That was my assessment when I ran the RG-8X with the mast up. We actually tried to feed some LMR-400 through after the fact and it was nearly impossible. I ran RG-8X all the way to the VHF to replace

Hi Bill,
We had a similar problem on SM 240. Using the chain counter would trip the 24V->12V converter under the nav station. I can’t remember the exact wiring diagram, but the wires indeed run from
