Ryan,
I am currently in Nova Scotia and sometimes cruise late in the season with my Loki Yawl. Even though she is a wooden hull, I still get a considerable amount of condensation at times during

Hi James,
Yes, at times there has been a bit of condensation in some of the bilge areas. I believe it is coming from the topsides, not below the waterline. The water is still 48°F/9°C. The air

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Viewing Amel 54 - what to look for?
Hi Scott,
I would also recommend Olivier for the survey. He surveyed our 54 in August 17 and we were very satisfied with his service.
We also dealt with broker Michel Charpentier, and he was great

First Impressions: Firefly Batteries.
In a previous post I explained my rational for purchasing Firefly batteries in this battery replacement cycle. They arrived a few days ago (finally!) and here are my initial impressions.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] can't open saloon floor panels
Ryan,
Is there any moisture at all present in the bilge area where the panels are becoming tight? I would check the hull surfaces and the underside of the floor. Are you taking your humidity

James,
I removed all the floor panels and dried them out by propping them up around the saloon for 4 days. The temperature never went below 50°F/10°C and humidity was never above 50%. It doesn't

Hi Bill, thanks for the response. I appreciate the information on the Victron controller. It is on my list to take a deeper dive into exactly how it works. And perhaps when the boat minder came

US company RedHead makes good solenoid valves for this application. I was using one with manual override. That is good feature for very bad situation.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] electric gas switch
Pat,
Do you have 24 volts at the solenoid when the gas switch is turned on?
If not you could have a bad circuit breaker or a bad switch on the electrical panel.
