Bill, Are the colors you used representative of the actual wire colors? -Yes. The purple wires marked F5 and H2 reverse the polarity of battery positive to the linear actuator motor (LAM) (i.e., one

Eric, I also have Pantaenius and had a claim for a near by lightning strike and was treated fairly. I assume that by "policy limits" they mean agreed value. I want to ask , because you know what

FYI; Whenwe wanted to replace our carrier that we had in Turkey, because they did notcover anything outside of Turkish waters, we discussed the matter with ourattorney in Florida that specializes in

Hi all, As I said before I was burned badly by an insurance company. I changed brokers and have a "agreed value" policy with my new broker. I forwarded him some of the correspondence because,

FYI, I spoke to Pantaenius America Ltd today and asked them to explain how they handle agreed on value. They said they would pay policy limits if the boat was a total loss, or whatever it costs to

Ruedi, if you search here you will find many opinions for andagainst. Perhaps less for Copper-Coat. My question to you is, where are thesavings if you need to haul your Amel every couple of years

Dear Amel'ies Maybe you had an earlier conversation on this topic already? I'm new here so I don't know. Copper-coat AF seems to be attractive if it lasts 10 and more years, despite the fact of

Duane, This is good. I would like to use the information you sketched to make a formal wiring diagram. Couple of questions: Are the colors you used representative of the actual wire colors? It

I was hoping for a "gee, just do this and Voila! ees all better!" But as long as there isn't a bigger problem causing it, no big deal. Thanks Bill, Duane

Hello Pat, I totally agree with you Danny. This is why my lawyer said it was a rip off to start with. You are paying in good faith a higher premium thinking you are covered, but you are not. I URGE

HI Rafael, I am sorry for your loss. I understand you. I also have special relation to my boat. I treasure her more than my house. She is almost part of a family. If you have some spare parts to sell,

The insurance company based the premiums on the Agreed value , and then only will pay out based on what they determine the market value is, because they don't want you to be enriched ! Did they not

Good morning Danny, I also have an “agreed” policy (from Helvetia through de Lassee), BUT as my lawyer told me, this is a rip off as, it is written on the contrat that the insurance has the right

I too have been raped by insurers in the past. I now have a policy with an "agreed Value" . I hope that would help in the case of a write off. Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl
