A question to the hive mind re Amel 54 (Sleipner side power) Bow thruster capacitor please.
Try Brad at Imtra, the distributor in the US. They've been pretty helpful and responsive. Norwegians (Sleipner) may still be on summer holiday. :)

Amel 54. Has anyone ever taken the electric diesel tank level meter/sensor out of the tank?
I've taken it out to check how dirty my tank was. Very easy to do but I have no idea what the model number is. There are two inspection hatches on the top of the tank. It's the forward hatch with the

Thanks everyone for the comments. It seems the logical way to solve this is to isolate the antenna from anything connected to the bonding system. This is what I intend to do as the case is plastic and

Hi all, This is really a question about bonding, which I'm very weak on. We have been using a Wirie Pro wifi extender on our A54 for over 2 years and while the Wirie didn't work that great, I separate

Run 2500w inverter always even on shore power?
My boat is pure 220/50hz also and I didn't want to go through the trouble of retrofitting it to work for the short periods where I am in 60hz land. I have the Victron Quattro 5kw/120a charger/inverter

Yes, that's what our foam pieces look like too. This is for your mizzen or main? Thanks!

Hardtop for Amel 54
This one was done by Manu at Alize Composites in Le Marin. I think he said 25-30k euros.
