Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Battery questions

Duane, Yes, definitely, disconnect failed batteries from the bank. You may have to rearrange the battery compartment to get the failed batteries together. Your battery monitor will not be accurate

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Original instruments

Bill, Thanks for taking the time to respond. Would you know if B&G today is of the same quality that they have been in the past? Would you have any reservations about going totally B&G ? Thanks, Pat

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] A RIB Dinghy Question...

Hi Bill, If you place the dinghy in the lazarette, you don’t carry a sea drogue? We have a Jordan and to keep it available means having it atop the “paraphernalia” residing in this

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] A RIB Dinghy Question...

I wanted to update people on what we found following up on our original question for a RIB dinghy that would fit in the lazzerette. Mark from Creampuff suggested we look into folding RIBs. That

Re: Battery questions

Peregrinus, On the battery itself it listed: Float: 13.5 to 13.8V Absorb 14.25 to 14.4V which corresponds closely to the 7 page (very synoptic) Dolphin manual I have from the previous owner which has

Re: Battery questions

Bill, Do you think it's necessary (or wise) to disconnect the failed batteries for safety? I agree that this boat is set up for "wet' batteries. Is the Freedom style different than the typical marine

It is supposed to be there. The Amel badge on the port side covers the ventilation intake for the engine room. Your unknown orifice is there to drain any water that makes it way up and under the

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Original instruments

Pat, Yes, B&G isn’t an independent operation any more. They made great products, and had a great reputation, but were not big enough to keep up with the speed of changes in the field. Navico

There is an older Amel in Cuacao that i'm told is for sale. Supposedly owned by a German. At anchor in Spanish Water. Sorry, I don't know what model she is. I don't see anything on the internet

Just to be clear it is OUTSIDE the cockpit on the super structure facing port about 1.5 inches above the deck. As I mentioned earlier it is directly below the letter "L" in they Amel logo Ben

Re: Amel Sloop

We saw Zanareva (from our dinghy) in the Solomons in 2014, and assumed from afar it was a Santorin sloop, only to be shocked upon seeing the non-Amel rigging on it. We assumed the poor thing had

Unknown orafice

Gentlemen, As a relatively new SM owner (Feb 15) I continue to find things which perplex me. The latest is an opening - a small 1/2 diameter hole on the port side of the cockpit. It is directly

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Original instruments

Bill, I just exchanged emails with my mechanic and explained that I had reservations about B&G ,because they are not really B&G any longer. He told me no one is installing Furuno due to cost and

Re: Battery questions

If one downloads the Mastervolt manual for their 85A gel battery, it specifies 13.8V float (≈27.6V in series). At first blush, the Dolphin charger, if it floats at 27.2V, might not be compatible
