I have mine set up now and I’ll be on my SM2 on Friday. I’ll send photos. I am also going to make a new plank for the passerelle because mine is coming apart. I’ll send along a dimensioned

Question??? Are you sure of the engine desig? TMD22 is the usual engine , not the TAMD... Jean-Pierre Germain, Eleuthera, SM007, OPUA,NZ

I always use Factory supplied parts for both the engine and generator. With respect to the engine mounts do the mounting holes line up with your existing mounts. Do you have the alignment tool

Hi Alan, I have them and if you dont get help elsewhere I can pull it all out and photograph it for you. Let me know. Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl Mangonui New Zealand

Hi all SM owners, Our swim ladder is just that, we have the wheels and the deck step end but none of the parts to make it into a usable pasarelle. Does anyone have the specifications for the original

Hi Scott, Don't get me wrong. I'm not against Lithium. I'm just trying to bring some nuance to the many über-happy stories about Lithium. These things are bloody expensive and people should know what

This is my 6 yr old turbo from Volvo tamd22 after being cleaned. I have a loss of rpm only able to get 2200. Is this rust color normal? I'm wondering about all the pitting. I have a new turbo on

Arno, My Victron BMS reports cell level voltage down to 0.01v. I can view it via bluetooth and have seen it vary by 0.01v. I can attest that when I had an imbalance, up to 90% SOC, the cells had the

Hi Scott, Typically good BMS-es can measure at 0.01 resolution. So even at lower SOC you will be able to see differences. Charging up to 100% can be postponed longer with continuous balancing. Active

Hello, I am looking at replacing the engine mounts on my 2004 Yanmar 4JH3-HTE engine. The current Yanmar mounts, (on the fuel and oil filter side), are labeled 200 which I believe would mean they are

Doug, Thanks. The A-54 bow thruster controls went through several changes during the production of the 54. This is great information for some 54 owners. Thanks again! Bill

Doug. Very helpful. A great addition. Thank you Porter McRoberts S/V IBIS A54-152WhatsApp:+1 754 265 2206 Www.fouribis.net

I have spent the last couple of days trying to debug the side-power bow thruster on my boat, and the up/down 4 relay system. My motor for up/down had a bad bearing and was blowing a fuse. It appears

Does anyone understand "continuous cell balancing", because I don't? When I have had unbalanced batteries, the batteries are look perfectly balanced until you get to 90% + SOC. This is because of the

Thanks Bill, mine never had a cover. Great I am on the right track. Nick

Brilliant! Thank you Bill. These zoom meetings are incredibly valuable! Guillaume Carpathia III - SM2K #293 Now in Athens

Nick, Maybe I was not clear...I was talking about the forward-facing cover that you fabricated. I think all the 54's I have seen have a loose-fitting cover on the forward end...maybe yours was lost,
