Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Side Windows loose screws
Hello Herbert,
I encountered the same problem on my SM when I recaulked the side windows.
First option: The screws are not long enough to traverse into the wood trim on the inside of the cabin.

Side Windows loose screws
Many of the screws that hold the stainless frame of the side windows are loose on our Santorin and some are not holding good enough to allow tightening. It looks as they are just screwed through to

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Inverter/Charger wiring advise
Colin,
We actually use the second battery charger much of the time when we are charging with the genset. Our new batteries can easily take over 100 amps of charging current for much of the charge

Re: Inverter/Charger wiring advise
All properly designed marine battery chargers and inverters will use an isolation transformer to do the voltage step up/down. This keeps the DC Negative separate from the AC Neutral.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Amel decals replacement
If I may add a word of caution…
Ensure the cuttings are done with TOP quality SS and that the cutting is done slowly to reduce heat production.
Mine tend to rust quickly…. I polish them

Re: Amel decals replacement
A stainless steel emblem sounds like a great idea! I will have to inquire here in Nettuno what the cost might be to cut and polish.

Thanks a ton for your explanations and diagram. A huge help to me and peace of mind that we have it done the same way as your system. Interesting that you sent your 2nd power out of the Victron
