Hi Teun, Thanks for that. How is your new yacht treating you? Did you get the new furlers? Regards, Arno

Arno, As per Q1 2018 original 2017 offer was NO longer available; a new (higher priced) proposal was made via Paul Hrabowsky Bamar North American & Carribean

Hi Colin, I'm humbled by your reply...I'm no expert but I try to learn from others and research before I make any changes I'm sure from experience that overcharging batteries is as big a killer as

Hi Alan Thank you very much for your ever generous and excellent advice as usual. I will do exactly as you have done once again. It has been great to be a year or so behind you on this site, and to

Just a thought on bonding the solar frame. If it is bonded then no static will build up as it will be drained. This could reduce radio interference. Apart from that I can not see any real

Great, thanks Mark. I’ve already ordered from them and should be able to pick up when I get back from NC in 2 wks. Great idea to use battery cases to check the fit. I didn’t know you could do

Hi Forum, A while ago I noticed a conversation about getting new furlers for the Amel 54 at a group rate. Does someone know what the actual state of this initiative is? Thanks, Arno Luijten

Hi John, That may be sooner then you think. I will be on Martinique in the week of 9 July. Regards, Arno

Hi Nick, Quick question; Where did you get the Micron 77 from? I looked at a few chandleries in the Caribbean but did not find it. Cheers, Arno

Hi Colin, There's probably little doubt that attaching the extra 300W of solar directly to your battery bank did them more harm than good. The constant 28.8V from the alternator doesn't help either if

Kent, I don't know where you are planning on getting your batteries from but I highly recommend that you check this local Annapolis place for before you buy anything:

Our 8 x Trojan 105's 225amp 6v lead acid batteries failed here in Mauritius today after being plugged in to shore power whilst we travelled inland for 4 days. We have just purchased 8 x 220 amp 6V

Hi Paul, Antigua might prove more expensive but there must be a source to cope with all the a/c units out there. I can't remember what the mains voltage is in Antigua. I suspect 220V

Yes, have seen a Santorin here in LeMarin, Martinique some weeks ago which was modified to L shaped. But I don’t know whether they are still in Martinique or not. What are you looking for?

Thanks Bill for the insight on the various MHUs. I will keep the group posted on diagnosis. I agree with you regarding the pace of change being expensive for both the manufacturers and users. It

John, OK, wanted to make sure on the high hull number. I think that you may have bought the last 55. Anyway, the B&G analog 213MHU is repairable with multiple components. I understand that the B&G 608

Ian, Thanks for the detailed info - that's a great help. The 54 has a Frigoboat with connectors for both high & low pressure. It does seem then that I have a blockage then. I'm in Antigua so finding a

It is the digital MHU. Yes Amel 55, hull number 65, delivered March of this year.

Hi Paul, I have been servicing my fridge/freezers on Crusader for some years now, and also the unit in my flat. From what you say, I would suspect a blockage in the evaporator, most
