Hi Kent, Would you please send me a copy of your letter and to whom it was addressed. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

I have just learned of at least two cruising boats who were sttraying through BVI waters (with no intention of landing) who were stopped by BVI coast guard boats, escorted to a BVI port, and held in

Hi all, I had the Borel exhaust manifold alarm. Fortunately, I never needed it. I heard that Borel is no longer making them. But, anyway, if I had it to do over again, this is what I would buy: This

Bill, I’m in the process to order Firefly batteries right now. Are you still as excited as you were when you bought them? Also, I read from Scott that they re-wired their A/C, so that they can use

Nick, Fascinating - thank you - i’m going to do a trial on mine when ever I can get on board. Peter Forbes Carango Amel 54 #035

Another snippet on the learning curve. Back in September I noticed a hole in the bottom of the intercooler which was blowing air. I was convinced that it was a pin hole in the aluminium casting, and

Hi Bill, Why does the Victron design with shore power feeding directly to the charger component need isolation while the previous scheme, also feeding only the charger, does not? It seems at least

I bought one from NASA, the boat instrument manufacturer. Cost @£82.00 including sensor which cable ties to the exhaust pipe. Easy to fit. In Denmark last summer I neglected to turn the raw water

I did not bother to wire my sensor into the ignition switch, It is always on . The photo attached was my motivation for installing the sensor. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi Miles, Order one with both wires about 15 feet long, 24 volts. The stock setup comes with a short negative wire to be attached to normal engine wiring and a long positive wire. I just ran mine

Thanks Eric. However I got lucky. I blew all the rubbish out from around the brush assembly with an air gun. And it goes. I will check for tightness as you suggest. Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Danny, I had a different problem with my winch. However I had to remove it to repair it. If you reach to the top of the gearbox you will feel a number of socket head screws at the top of the gearbox

Thanks, Mark! Timing is perfect. Winch maintenance is on my winter to-do list. -- Dave Kurtz SM2 #380 S/V Celtic Cross Detroit, Michigan

This year we decided to bite the bullet and replace our Onan. Not because of intrinsic reliability issues, but because of a lack of spare parts availability from Onan. We had several major routine

You can also consider buying a smaller genset. We have the 11kVA Onan and my biggest problem running it is creating enough load for the beast to keep it happy. If your interest is just to charge the

I have a vetas one installed. You can use the sensor from a car thermo fan switch. I have it located at the water injection point in the exhaust system. It will activate before the engine alarm.

Hi Eric, I am sold on this and I am getting one. Where did you take the power from? Is yours 12V or 24 V (I guess that these questions have one answer). Did you need a longer wire? As

And maybe without the genset the mast would be vertical! ; ) Which brings up the question of the weight of a full bank of lithium batteries? Mike ALETES SM#240 Rock Hall, MD

FWIW, I would proceed exactly as suggested on Aquarius A top tier lithium setup should not cost you as much as a new genset Good luck Jean-Pierre Germain, Eleuthera, SM007, NZ
