Re: Annapolis Boat Show
Jay and Dale,
You shouldtouch base with Bill Rouse, a fellow Texan and Admiral in the Texas Navy. He isin the Houston area and could guide you through the process of getting a goodAmel.

Re: Solar Panels
My LG 315 panels consistently out perform their rating of 315w giving up to 350w. They are about 2.3 years old. I haven’t seen any degradation.
Good Luck Nick.
Now I’m looking at wind

Location of the fuse for the chain washing pump requested
Dear Amelians,
A few months ago I changed on my SM 2k the light (the whole unit plus light) for the LPG switch on the 24 V panel. It is almost in the middle of the panel and difficult to get it fixed.

My experience might be an outlier, but I had the best luck with the lowest price, Chinese panels, Trina, and a bad experience with the best, SunPower. After 4 years, the SunPower output 55%. They

Solar Panels
Hello fellow Amel owners,
In 2017 I purchased Amelia in Grenada and built a solar and wind arch. It has been great. I installed what was available at the time; namely two 265w mono panels measuring

Now its 10kg+ more

Re: Converting my Amel 54 to lithium batteries: what I did, what I like and what I don't like (after one year of full time live aboard use)
Your Amel 54 will last for at least another 30 years. I plan to wait for next step in technology - probably in control devices.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for your extensive report on the Lithium conversion.
Reading your post I notice the same challenge as I've been anticipating when moving to Lithium. Basically you want the batteries

The Victron isolation transformer does not change frequency. It only up or down converts Voltage.
It works great!

We installed a quattro and Victron isolation transformer in 2013 in the engine room vertically where the Mastervolt 100Amp charger and the Mastervolt 30 Amp charger were. We then doubled up the two

Re: C-Drive vs Linecutter
Hi Dean
The washer with rubber inner seal is called a Dowty washer. A good hydraulic engineering or bearing shop will carry these and be able to match up the correct size.

Hi Ameliens
I have been following with great interest your discussions, on converting to lithium .
I am actively looking for a SM 2K , and it would be one of the first upgrade I would go through

Thank you, I understand more now. The first washer does have remnants of a rubber-ring, I thought that the rubber remnants had just stuck to the first washer due to being pressured against
