I used Fergus Prescott who specializes in Amels. He is British but resides in Turkey. Did a great job in my opinion and was very reasonably priced. If you would like, personal message me and I'd be ha

Hey Alexandre - Thanks for your comments! As always! I am not sure what is happening right now but as we speak the charger is running normally (26.3v in float). When I run the engine for extended peri

I have a Heart Charger in the aft cabin closet that works fine but I use it as a back up. I use the Victron as my primary and that is located in the engine room on the same shelf as the transformer. S

Anyone have a Victron Energy Centaur 24v 60amp charger on board? For some reason, it has a hard time going into float lately (i think). Voltage ends up staying around 28.2 when batteries are 100%. If

Hey Alexander - Your response sound pretty spot on... There is one major thing but that might be the difference with out boat systems setups.... The plug in the engine room on my boat is currently in

Hello everyone - I know this topic is somewhat (again) like beating a dead horse however, I find that trying to search the forum for answers is very difficult. I am currently running the 30amp cord to

Hey everyone - I know this topic has been addressed before. I have recently tuned my rig and it was crazy to me to the amount of work that was involved. This traces back to a previous post I had made

Here is something to stir the pot a little. My friend passed this link along to me. This owner even went as far as changing the C drive to a 8 degree shaft when re-powering. I want to apologize in adv

I replaced mine with ones I bought from Bed Bath and Beyond and they are still working flawlessly for over a year now. Check the photos section. :) Cheers Bill Maffei SM #195 It's all Good

I looked in the files section and pictures section but did not have any luck... Can anyone provide a description of the parts needed to rebuild the jib furler gearbox. I have had successful experience

That this makes perfect sense. I am going to disable the gearbox and rebuild. Rivets absolutely need replacement but I can confirm this is not the issue because as Kent pointed out I was easily able t

Okay, so I looked at it further and it looks like it is working. It is wobbly as all hell but the bolts have not sheared off. The furling motor is fine. The rivets do look a little loose but I am at a

Hey everyone- I have not look into this yet but last year I had the issue where the furling motor sheared from the plate that spins the sail out (while locking pin is engaged). Well, yesterday I had t

Hey everyone - This is not the standard bow thruster question on the forum... My bow thruster is working just fine however, I noticed today that while using port bursts it sounds a bit louder than it

Hey there - If you are constantly having to prime your pump then there is an air leak somewhere in the line that needs to be addressed. I had the same problem when I did the re-build. I am almost cert

Hey Mike - Sorry to hear about your troubles... I too have been a victim of this process and due to "lack of maintenance" (no offense of course). Just to be clear and so I can paint a better picture i

I concur with Kent. In the past I have serviced my furling motor and had to remove my forestay. I was able to do this by backing off the mizzen backstays and using the halyards ( I have 3, 2 extra and

Thanks everyone for the input. There really is nothing worse than your "10 minute" project taking 2 hours cause of a stubborn bolt/screw. Cheers and fair winds! Bill Maffei SM #195 It's all Good

Wondering if anyone could share any tips they use to extract stripped/cross threaded screws and bolts. Add the marine environment and this can be a time consuming project that I would love to the advi

Hey Eric - The Antal part number is ANT4150D, it is 150mm. I am extremely happy with the performance and mechanics however, I did have to replace my existing main out haul track. 5m of part ANT4510. T
