Re: Recommended solar panel brand
Probably all of the poor performance and poor value solar panels are Chinese-made and not all Chinese-made is poor value.
Also, probably most of us have had experience with one brand, some of us two.

Re: Recommended solar panel brand
We had good luck with Trina’s on our previous boat. Installing 3, SunPower 390’s, 1.7 X 1 meter, on the new boat. They make a 400 in same size, but we’ll save €110 for 30 watts less......

Re: Recommended solar panel brand
Some of the newer technologies offer better charging with lowerangles of the sun. This is the reason for the primary difference in price. Also,flexible panels can run a lot more money. Of course,

Re: A54: Cable length between main mast head and chart table
I believe that 25m is not correct.
On an SM, I replaced the B&G 213MHU Mount which comes with a choice of cable length. I bought the 25m length. It terminates in a junction box behind a panel on the

Re: Steering racks for SN, SM & 54
Hi Tom
It would be great to hear what Amel say about this
My 1985 Maramu has the Morse Commander 401
rack and pinion setup. Perhaps you have the same ?
I took the rack apart a year ago before an ocean

A54: Cable length between main mast head and chart table
Hi all,
Does anyone know the precise length of cable required to go from the top of the main mast to the chart table through the standard conduit on the Amel 54? For instance for the VHF antenna

Re: BOW THRUSTER
I think you completely disassembled the BT. Yours may be old enough that it has locking pins for the larger gear. If so, did you miss these pins:

Re: A54 bow thruster directly to battery or through main switches?
Scott,
I am with Ruedi on that one. You may have voltage but a bad cable crimp connection may prevent current to flow. I you have a clamp amp meters, you can easily check current is within spec.

Hi Andrew,
I use parts4engines. They are helpful and have a useful website. Some older Volvo parts are identical to Perkins parts and much cheaper.

Re: Recommended solar panel brand
We've had good experience with SunPower. We were looking specifically for flexible panels for our bimini because we didn't want to add an arch, so maybe what we found isn't quite applicable to you.

Re: A54 bow thruster directly to battery or through main switches?
Hi Scott,
Matt's input sounds familiar to me and it is worth to touch each and every cable inside and around the Sleipner BT.
I had a similar experience few month ago where the BT sometimes worked

Recommended solar panel brand
I've been scouring this group and the web looking at what solar panels to get. The various brands appear to all offer very similar specifications yet the price variance is huge.
For example an LG 330

Re: Howes fuel treatment
You certainly don’t need to fill your tank to the top, if you don’t care about collecting water in your fuel, and the associated issues.
It’s certainly your choice!
