Hi Ruslan, the floor boards of our 54 are made of panels of plywood. The surfaces of the panels are coated by synthetic material. More or less undestroyable. It may happen that the edges become loose

We have all wooden floors on our SM 232, from 1998. There is no particular maintenance on it. We have oiled it once or twice since 2006 when we bought Lady Annila. No trouble with footprints and we

Quick question if I may, are A54 floor boards made from wood or some faux wood? If wood curious to know why SM2K were done in GRP and later went back to wood panels. I like GRP on SM2K, I feel wood

Hi Paul, My problem was sea growth in the pipes. Had the local very knowledgeable Caraibe Refrigeration run an acid mixture round the A/C and Refrigeration pipes, took a few hours. Unbelievable

Hi My fwd and two saloon systems are compact and my aft system is a split system all with independent fans. I have had technical advice from a service technician that inspected the issue and he

Joerg, Avoiding charging the batteries to 100% during normal use is a completely different conversation than whether to leave batteries at high SOC or 50% SOC during wintering/long term storage. I

Dear Nick, thx a lot for your fast response. To the forum: Does anyone else use Domaire pumps? If so, how satisfied are you? Best regards Stefan A54 #119 Lady Charlyette, currently La Palma - Canaries

Hi Bill, If he would have the chiller system, that unit would not carry a fan. So either his fan unit in the saloon is broken or he has the stand alone units. I seem to remember the early 55’s had

I have discussed the issue with a senior technician at MV support. His explanation for the recommendation to keep the batteries at 100% with a float voltage of 27.0V was that their batteries are

Hi Paul, I am just getting my saloon ac checked this arvo. Mine is water cooled, the only fan is at the back of the cooling condenser that blows the air into the cabin. I could ask and have the guy

Paul, Most Amel owners in this Group have either Climma Compact or Climma Split ACs. I believe that you have a Climma Chiller System. The only reason I interject this into the thread is that you may

Hi Stephan, yes it is but it is weird, I thought it was a 240v pump but actually it is 24v and they provide a power adapter that converts 240v ac to 24v so I put the power pack in a box. The power

Hello, can anyone assist please: My Amel 55 has a Climma AC unit in the saloon and fwd cabin that appears to have 160v across its fan relay which is causing the fan motor to be energised without the

Scott, On this homepage, there is a good comparison of the different Lithium batteries: https://www.roypowusa.com/?page_id=37164 I have also the Mastervolt 110A alternator and the Alpha Pro III. I

Good to know. For those with the Mastervolt 24v-110amp alternator and Alpha Pro II or newer, you can sleep reasonably well knowing that it can handle outputting high current for an extended

More than ten cases this is why some insurance companies refuse to ensure boats with lithium batteries if they are not mounted by Mastervolt or Victron . The reasons are different but in many cases

Thanks for the video - too bad the less informed still don't understand that lithium-cobalt and lifepo4 are not the same thing. Let's hope for the sake of currently produced and future Amels that

Hi Here is a youtube video that tests the risk of Lithium batteries and fire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qzt9RZ0FQyM&ab_channel=GWL Does anyone know of a specific case of fire on a boat because

Rick, Can you see where the water is coming from? or just that it is accumulating at the base of the C-Drive? Other sources of water are more likely, especially if the hose clamps are snug. It is a
