Hello Slavko, Ipanema was originally built for an American customer and, for that reason, AMEL added the white box outlets on the factory to allow the use of 110 V shore power via a transformer or the

The main problem is to remove the element because theres no space to turn the tool (55 mm hex wrench). There are two metal tubes that runout from the heater very close to the element. Jose

Hello Jose, thank you for schematics and explanation, It is very helpful to me as our Amels are close by production numbers. Where did you install Inverter? In battery compartment? The white box is sa

Most of these give you good access when you remove the electric heating element. I have not opened a QUICK brand, just an Isotemp brand. Once you look inside, you will never drink water from the water

Hi Bill! I imagine the heater is original and has never been serviced. The bonding wire is actually connected to one of the cover screws. I want to remove this cover so I can access the inside of the

Hi Ruedi, Sorry to barge in like this but I actually installed the MV Mass Combi Ultra 24/3500 as well so maybe you want to know what I did as well. In the later 54's the MV inverter is actually place

Hello Mohammad This is a lot of Inverting power. You probably not need that much unless you want to run everything simultaneously in the boat 😉 Nevertheless, I ordered the MV MassCombiPro 24/3500W sin

Hello Ian; My knowledge of the LN175 and Dolphin charger is limited, so I will not be of much help there. I can share with you our current approach for our charging and inversion plans, as we make the

Mohammad, Thank you for your insights on Lithium. We are in a similar situation and agree that Lithium is too early for us. Will really appreciate your guidance on best solutions for changes to LN175

Hi Mohammad and Ruedi, I agree with you Mohammad. Prices will fall, insurers will become more comfortable. Lithium will replace lead acid, but it will take time, probably only a couple more years. On
