Dear all, I am a new member and my name is Alain Blanchard (recently retired). I have finally found the boat I was looking for. I am the new care holder of Koriolys (SM 164 / we kept the same name)

Amel installed Mastervolt Gel Batteries. Not my preference, but I had few options. AMEL’s Lithium upgrade is $40,000 USD. Too dear for our purse! ~~~⛵️~~~Matt Salatino, Speed of Life, A50 #27

Scott, It’s clear you are a big fan of Lithium batteries. And of course there are huge benefits to them. But you keep repeating the benefits and ignore the drawbacks. Those are (still) price and

As Scott says, the lithium profile holds many potential advantages, particularly for longer term cruisers. The one disadvantage in my mind is that they are too lightweight for the Amel 54 and maybe SM

Alex, If I were you, I'd save the money on a new genset and put it into a good sized lithium bank. My experience is the same as others where I rarely use my genset despite using around 200-250AH a day

Thanks for all of the help with this. The fitter is modifying the rails and the mounts and also moving the alternator to the opposite side. The problem with the gearbox is that they ordered a

Sure. I actually installed it myself over the course of 2 weekends. My rails were quite rusted so I made new ones. I'm heading down to the boat now if you want me to take any specific

Nice! Where is the raw water pump? How difficult is it to change the impeller? ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Here's a picture of our Beta 85. I extended the rail and reverse mounted the alternator (fuel filters were moved). Thanks, Dan Feierabend #86

I more or less went the same route. I also added an electronic insulation transformer, a new Alpha Pro II alternator controller and an AC monitor. You do not need the service tech password for

I would send it to a politician rather than to the bureaucracy. In parliamentary democracies like the BVI (or Canada), the ministers are much more likely to actually go fix issues. I had a quick

I tried to get Amel to install them. They would not, as they had no familiarity with them. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Thanks Bill, Very interesting...You said "One of the key parameters for us is to watch the difference between the “high” and “low” halves of the battery bank. If they drift apart from being

We installed a beta 60. Did not have any problems with the physical size. The gearbox is a tmc. Beta power ratings are on the output flange of the gearbox. Compared with the Volvo at the flywheel.

I was curious about this incident, and wanted more details. It now seems that they have pled guilty, and each has been fined US $1,000. Still not pretty, but better than $20,000. Here’s the
