Re: In mast furler - Brake - Amel 54 + top cap
Dear Porter,
the top cap was a real problem and appr. 2 hours work.
Finally, I hung the lower end of the pipe under the boom so that the top cap is at the bottom. Then carefully place a screwdriver

I am heartily impressed you got the top cap off. How did you do it? I’d love to know and I know a few other who would too.
Thanks.

In mast furler - Brake - Amel 54
Dear Amelians,
after a lot of work there is still a problem with the brake of the in-mast-furler.
I disassembled the furling unit (it had no water inside; repaired also the motor etc.), but not

Re: Rudder Stuffing Box Packing Material
Hi Mike,
The Amel packing is impregnated with what looks like PTEF. Professionals I have talked with recommend some kind of grease. It helps seal and helps you slide the packing into the gap

Re: Rudder Stuffing Box Packing Material
Should any grease be used when packing in the new material from Amel?

I just put it on with contact cement. I allowed the cement to dry on both surfaces and the carefully applied the laminate. I used a laminate roller, like a paint roller, but much harder,

Re: HATCH DOOR REPAIR WITHOUT REMOVING THE HATCH
Hi Bill,
No I did not. I used a teak patterned laminate. I replaced that veneer 8 years ago and with care it looks great.
I guess in another 5 years I will have to do it again.
But for now I am

Re: Lithium Batteries under Consideration
Hi Scott, in the early days of producing them there were a few issues, these could have been from those.
I am running a set of 8 g31 in the super maramu. Just coming up to 2 years. Would say around

Michael,
I am not sure if they are worse. Given that Jamie was getting below 24 volts overnight after only a year, that sounds pretty bad though. Even our old gel batteries weren't that bad.

Bill Kinney, maybe you could also 'chime in' regarding Firefly batteries. Are you still happy with them after 2-3 years?

Dessalator 230v 160 LPH watermaker fault I had the same problem and finally found the fault
From the time of delivery of Kimberlite I had a similar problem. I attributed it to many things. I finally found the problem.
In the AC panel there is a bus bar that connects all the circuit

HATCH DOOR REPAIR WITHOUT REMOVING THE HATCH
This is how I did it on Kimberlite.
I felt it was not necessary to replace the veneer where it cannot be seen.
I just raised the door to its maximum height and removed the old veneer.
Quite simple but

Re: Lithium Batteries under Consideration
Dean, I too have that issue, but the solution is to keep the fuel tank full. Maybe some lead bars behind the lithiums will do the trick?
I hope I did not cause anyone to second guess their own battery

Re: Lithium Batteries under Consideration
Well that bursts the bubble of having batteries that are more capable than AGM at lower SOC for half the price of LFP AND don't cause the A54 to list more to port.
I can't believe my thought pattern

Well I guess I should chime in here, so to speak. I installed Fireflys in my A54 a few years ago. They lasted about 3 years before the voltage drop started to cause problems for me. They were promoted
