Maybe I got lucky with the port I was in. Novigrad is only open during the season but I worked fine and I got the required permit to sail Croatian waters. Best Regards Jim Watkins Act II

Hi all, With MV you can define events that are based on the SOC, at either predefined levels (60%, 80%, etc) or a user defined level called “battery full”, and can be used to trigger actions on

Joerg, I would be surprised if the MV software doesn't allow you to stop charging at a certain SOC vs having to guess with voltage. I can implement that on my less well integrated Victron system.

I have one of these and it works great but have only used it in Croatia. Best Regards Jim Watkins Act II Maramu hull 185 Sent from Mail for Windows

Hi Mohammad and Ruedi, I agree with you Mohammad. Prices will fall, insurers will become more comfortable. Lithium will replace lead acid, but it will take time, probably only a couple more years. On

We ran into this issue in Montenegro. The harbor master was unwilling to allow us to “navigate” from the customs dock to our winter berth (about 500 yards away). None of our ASA sailing and US

I was only asked for a cert of competency a handful of times. Croatia was the most stringent and I watched an American skipper kick and scream that his state's safety course should be accepted and how

Hi Ruedi; We are currently in the Med and, in my opinion, Lithium is not a huge advantage in our cruising style here. Also our AGMs that we installed in 2018, have been working better than

For “proof of competency” you can take a free Florida boatingtest online. At the end it prints out a very nice official looking certificateand they mail you a license (with no expiration date)

Hello Bob, I'm not at the boat right now. We head back to re-launch in two weeks so it will be pretty hectic until the beginning of Oct. I'll try to dig some things up when things calm down. Daniel

Hi Mohammad and Aty Thank you for the drawing which helped me a lot. Exactly this page was not in my documentation. Don’t know why? I found in the 220V Panel drawing K1- and K2-source

Hi Barry and Penny, Thanks for that. We look forward to seeing you. Just booked tickets. All the best, Chuck and Kim

Thanks so much! There are some excellent ideas here. My thinking now - based on everyone's thoughts - is to do the following: 1. Before I leave, charge the batteries to 80% and plug into shore

Thanks. -- Mark Mueller Brass Ring A54

Hi Ruedi; There are electrical schematics in the original AMEL operator’s manual in the Appendix section, that came with the yacht, that show how they are wired. Attached is the schematic for

Hi Daniel, Really liked your description of your lithium conversion. I am beginning the process of conversion and my plan is to install the WakeSpeed 500 first. I saw one photo you posted of your

Unless yours is different from others I have seen it is V5.

Good Morning, Can another AMEL 54 ownerin the same build number (# 128; launched July 2009) range tell me is your Starboard LEWMAR Anchor winch a LEWMAR V4 or LEWMAR V5. I do know that AMEL manual

Hello Amelian's I tried to find out how the Shore/Generator Switchover Box in the Engine room of my Amel-54 is exactly working. I do have in addition a 2500W MV inverter installed originally from

It is my understanding that most Amel 54s like all SMs have a mainsail foil (profile) of 38mm. I am told that this is not true for some of the very last 54s which were equipped with a 40mm foil. If
