Hi Paul, this is the unit Amel installs now. BOSCH SKT 5102. Let me know how you like it!! joerg Esdorn A55#53 Kincsem currently in Sevilla

i received the attached from Amel. I cannot overstate how great the Wichinox stainless cleaner works - I’ve tried most every product on the market and this one is So MUCH easier because it combines a

Thanks, Scott. Lots to think about. What happened on my overcharging episode was that the sensing wire was loose at the alternator. Result was that the voltage read by the regulators was some 3V lower

Thanks again, Scott, for all your thoughts and help on this topic. I wanted to share with the group a quite technical article I downloaded quite some time ago based upon advice from the Delos guys. Th

Sorry, Ofer. It appears I didn’t post the pics. Here they are. Sorry for the delay.

Another try to attach the pictures.

Thanks very much, Scott. Excellent write-up. I have a few questions and comments. 1. The A55 comes with a switch that in the "on" position, turns on the generator automatically if the SOC goes below 6

Scott, sorry for the delay but here are pics of the clean up tackle for the runners and the extension for the runners, as supplied by Amel. Works excellent.

I would highly recommend Basimakopoulos shipyard in Kilada on Peloponnes. Competent, nice people doing work at a reasonable price. And the location is very safe from freak winds and thieves.

To reinforce what Bill is saying: don’t go to the shipyard in Marina di Ragusa. It’s the worst experience I’ve had in decades. And I would go further. If you want any work done on your boat, don’t go

Scott, the runners on my boat are in two parts. Part one comes down from the mast and ends in a loop 1 m above the deck and is tensioned with a block and tackle to the base of the shrouds with a snap

Amel has published the attached guide regarding the use of runners on the A55. This can be found on the Amel Club website, just as several other short papers on operation and maintenance of the boat.

I don’t know current pricing. The generator and mizzen attachment was about 3K 2 years ago but I believe prices have gone up. Definitely cheaper to have more solar but I like the mix of power sources.

I don’t know off the top of my head but there is an output curve on their website which is pretty good. The big benefit is that it’s running all the time when you’re in 7 knots apparent or more. So I

I have a Superwind half way up the mizzen mast and it is completely silent. I have a special connector between the mast bracket and the generator which makes the unit sit and rotate on a plastic plate
