Thanks again Matt & Cindy for the tour, and thanks Bill for setting it all up! I’ve processed the zoom video and added subtitles. You can find it at https://youtu.be/PK2yf-Hzr58 Best, Tilo

WOW Instalation!!!! Looks like nuc power station! keep this one - its value is over the boat value!

So, I don't have an Amel yet but am buying a 55 right now. My current boat, a 2015 Jeanneau 439 has been fully converted to lithium/solar professionally. See photos here:

Thanks, Eric ... and good point Ken - guess it is a "Hot Water Heater" after all! We don't have any solar, so the Hot Water Heater heats either from the engine coolant (which may also be a misnomer -

Hello Rudi and Scott, the reason for the zinc on the SPURS rope-cutter is that it is attached to the fixed blade which is in fact isolated from the prop shaft by a plastic U-shaped part (you will have

Hi Mohammad Thanks a lot for the information. That helps;- nevertheless it’s confusing that the sensor has 2 wires. Because you saidthey send a “single wire” non-isolated ground sensor. If

Craig before you do this read my post about how i make hot water from solar. Not sure how much solar you have on your boat but this is working fine for me for the last 3 weeks.

We have an santorin with no generator but have 1000 Watts of solar. 400 of those watts are shaded - 200 is behind the main mast flexible panels and 200 is on the new hard top bimini (room for more)

The Hot Water Heater also is a Cold Water Heater, and maybe just a Water Heater. But after the Hot Water Heater heats up the Cold Water, the Hot Water Heater keeps the Hot Water Hot. Thus, the term

Gary, The conversion between DC to AC the loss, depending on your inverter, could be as much as 10% to 30%. Also, if you only have 100amp battery charger, then you are only supplying 2.5KW into your

Spot on, Eric! Perhaps not Oxymoronic but at least redundant. However, the adverts do indeed say "Hot Water Heaters" ! Cheers, Craig

Hi Ruedi; In order for the sensor to be isolated ground, it needs to have 2 wires, since it cannot use the engine block as ground. If you use the serial number of the engine to order the part, a

This is one of my favorite expressions—hot water heater---- why would you heat hot water? It’s a water heater. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi Steve, Ah, the classic split and expanded heating element on the old orange isotemp ! I've got the same unit and I think I'm on my 4th occurrence of that problem. Once I struggled to fish out

Gary, we also have the same system as Scott describes, but are using firefly oases battery. Victron also make a isolation transformer that can have duel voltage input and will adjust the htz . We

Matt & Cindy, thank you for a great meeting. I happen to think this is an excellent way to stay in touch with the Amel community (I'm a new member as well). My goal one of these days is to sail into

Our rudder zincs wear as they should and the spurs zinc wears also. Given the cost of that Spurs and the minimal cost to buy the additional zinc, I opt to be conservative on this one and keep the line

Gary, We faced the same issue you did. I want to make sure we have 220/50 at all times because while I'm very careful and am very unlikely to accidentally run the washing machine/dishwasher/microwave

Hi Gary, I tackled the hot water heater project yesterday, and replaced the heating element. The last time I did this job was mid 2014, and that time, the breaker would trip when turned on. I’ll
