Amel 55 hatch door cannot be locked from inside
So I just un"blocked" it. Looking at the door from inside the boat. I moved the right hand sliding lock slightly to the left until the nub can be moved down. It's as if it's over too far or something

Anyone seen this. The companion way door locks and unlocks normally with the key. If locked with the key then you can unlock using the inside "knob". But, I cannot lock it from inside. The "knob" is l

DC DC starter battery charger on Amel 55 fuse sizes
I thought about that but then why use a 25A charger, the whole thing would be pointless. The charger puts out 25A, the wiring supports 15A, use a 15A fuse and pop... The unknown on my side is how long

Peak is actually 5kw. See here: https://www.mastervolt.com/products/mass-sine-24v/mass-sine-24-2500-230v-50hz/ 2.5kw is their P30 number, I don't know what P30 means, 30 second pulse? 5kw might be mom

Switch to LiFePO4
Well, I learned something today. The battery compartment on a 55 is watertight? Good to know. All MV is attractive given the bus and so on.

My 2 cents. My old boat has dual Lithionics 12v x 560AH batteries with external BMS. I like the lithionics brand, latest batteries are UL listed and IP rated. 1120AH or 14kwh was enough to run a 9k BT

Run 2500w inverter always even on shore power?
Agreed Scott, Separate charger/inverter is the way to go with Victron and solves this problem once and for all. Just adding sensors all over my boat to measure anything I can think of at the moment. A

Hi, I'm on shore power mostly now, a US to Euro pigtail given the boat 240v at 50hz. The Chilla AC works, dishwasher too but the washing machine (LG Direct 7) is giving problems. It starts up and wash

A 55 # 9 : Chargeing and mastershunts
I just looked on my 55 and there is a 675A master fuse under the nav seat. I used my Fluke to measure the current coming out of that fuse and the bow thruster doesn't draw power from there when I ran
