Hi Thomas, The MPPT only gets warm when working hard, not hot. We do get heat from the dump resistors of the wind generator when it is working hard (not often), but we have a heat shield to protect

Thanks Alan, that's a good idea; we have the same locker there. Hopefully the wiring is rather simple to manage. Do you find the regulator produces a lot of heat? Cheers Thomas -- GARULFO Amel 54

Hi Dean, the arch is not built yet but the design is to use a halfway solution, as seen on another 54, whereby the forward posts rest on the toerail at the junction of the deck and transom, while the

Hi Thomas, We have an arch with 3 panels (600W)on it and a D400 wind generator. The Victron 150-35 MPPT is mounted on the aft facing wall of the aft cabin hanging locker along with the regulator for

Hi Thomas, Sorry can't help with the installation details - still looking at Amel 54's to buy. I'm very interested to know If you fitted a solar arch/gantry to your Simpson Davits or have you built a

They aren't getting through the plastic... they're already inside! Not sure of the bug type but they like to lay their eggs by the glue holding the cardboard together. I never bring cardboard on the

Hi Alex, That looks likea grain weevil or wheat weevil. They can eat through plastic bags to get tofood. They like pasta, rice and anything with flour. Any type ofhousehold bug spray will kill

Hi Thomas and Soraya, I am not surehow close the 53 is to the 54 but it think you could do the same as I did. I amassuming you have the solar panels mounted aft on an arch? Is so, consider

Alex, Bad luck. We had them in Brasil. Probably weevils. One magazine I read recently suggested that they can eat through plastic bags. Just have to dump all the offending bags and go over

Dear Amelians, I found this bug (attached picture) in several pastas on my boat. They were even inside sealed plastic spaghetti packages that were inside a separate plastic box. It's not the first

Dear Bill, thank you for sharing all your valuable information. The size of the washing machine is the same that you mentioned on the AMEL 53. So I think it comes down to finding a way to get it

Hi Amel Solar users, Where did you install your MPPT regulator? We are looking to get a MasterVolt "scm60-mppt-mb" that would work with 3*300W / 39V (Voc) panels in series but I'm concerned it is
