Nick, I think if you were struck by lightning to the extent that the BMS is killed, the chargers would probably be gone, too. I agree that a weak point, at least in my Victron system, is that a BMS

Pat, I ran across an interesting issue that might be of help to you. Open the AC panel. You will note that there is a bus bar connecting the breakers. It is held on by just the friction of the

Fellow Amel owners, Since my post on the possibility of adding Lithium to a lead bank I have been following others with similar thoughts, specifically S/V Temptress and his you tube videos….I think

Hi Bob, When you had the rigging shipped to Turkey, did you have it sent to an agent or did you provide ACMO with a Marina address to send it to. Kind regards Ross and Donna SV Intrepid Kiwi SM2K

Just left a note on the stuck spline issue of the bowthrusters regrding LanoCote. Let me endorse LanoCote® for rigging use as well. When we were in Göcek, Turkey we had ACMO shipped in from France

Thanks Bill, I have heard the alarm once when I left the sea cock off on motor start up. Danny

Hi Eric, I do the same with my bow thruster but only once a year. I have never had any problems. I also put Silicon grease on the shaft. This makes it slide up and down easily and maybe

Hi Scott, My guess is that there is a refrigerant leak…if you inspect the evaporator unit when you initially turn it on, the copper tubes should quickly frost up, if the fan is in low speed they

Scott, If the fan was running slower than normal, the air coming out would be a little colder than normal, up until the system shuts down on LOW pressure when the air flow was very restricted. So,

I posted here a few months ago, we are still patiently seeking an Amel SM 2000 to buy in Europe for our adventure commencing 2024. Please get in touch even if you plan to sell in the coming year,

Hi Bill, The morning bank voltages I reported are either before the sun comes up, or an hour after the solar panels are disconnected. The individual battery voltages are measured 6 hours after all

These are photos that Maude sent me about 10 years ago of the spares that Amel had in stock at the time. JUST a FYI. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376
