LOL. Don’t know about the “wouldn’t know”. Most Dutch guys I’ve know have been pretty smart. Stubborn but smart. Anyway, it is no surprise that the TOP pops before the breaker. The breaker is designed

Thanks Tuen, I’m quite aware of the Dutch tendencies as one of my best friends and my brother in law both are stereotypical examples. I always tease them with “wooden shoes, wooden head, wouldn’t list

Your questions A-D are all great questions and I’d love to hear the answers from Amel. I’m so glad to hear that Arno had appropriate spares on board and has been able to effect a safe repair. Those pi

Tuen, as was pointed out (correctly) here a few weeks ago, fuses and circuit breakers are NOT designed to protect the load device but protect the wire going to it. I don’t know the size of the wire th

These systems are essentially the same as home well driven systems (with a different pump and water source obviously) so the procedures there apply as well. I’ve been maintaining mine for over 40 year

Now we know where those “like new” parts on Alibaba, eBay and Amazon come from! I loved the “I have restored it to original condition” subtitle. Brent

That was FedEx too! LOL. I did have a good chuckle about how many air miles your package got. You could probably book a first class ticket to Hawaii for it now…. Brent

Thanks Mark. I’ve heard good things about TopSail. I wouldn’t have an issue documenting my treatment and installation to those terms. I have been negotiating multi-million and billion dollar contracts

That sounds very reasonable. It allows for DYI but requires a decent BMS with logging capabilities and presumably a well documented installation following best practices. That’s about as good as could

Welcome to the group. I believe that the first “”real” Super Maramu 2000 was Hull #238 (Maracuya/Belavita/Ouled). She was Captain Henri’s boat and was the demonstrator for the new models. As Ann-Marie

I’m in a similar situation to you and have definitely got myself tangled up in Courtney’s time to pivot issue! I’m after a good 54 but I started out looking for SM’s so have been following the forum c

While I can’t comment on the window sizes directly, I would encourage you to get a large enough sheet to do what you need and cut it to size yourself if you at all handy. While it is intimidating, the

Olivier of the Amel 54 Vela Nautica did a great series of two videos doing pretty much the same thing a few years ago. He reported similar results. Here is the link to the first one https://www.youtub

The big advantage for cars (and laptops) of the Nickel Cobalt batteries is that they can CHARGE at multiple times C (their rated capacity) in an hour. (Eg if you have a 100A battery you can fill it fr

Hey Nicolas, Delos did a series of three videos on YouTube about them re-rigging Delos in Thailand. (Go to YouTube and search "Delos rigging”). They show the difficulty with the front turnbuckle, how

Just as Nick says…. The 75A is coming from the DC output side of the charger while the 25A breaker on the 220V AC side of the charger is what is powering it. 75A at 24 V (DC) is 1800 Watts so as Nick

I forgot to address the other part of your question about the function and how a circuit breaker works. They are simply devices that are intended to protect the WIRES of the downstream circuit. Wires

Hey Pat. Your 25A breaker is on a 220v Alternating Current (AC) circuit but the 75A it is putting into your batteries is at 24V direct current (DC). Forgetting about the difference between AC and DC f

Sounds like it might be Bali Hai (the Super Maramu not the Santorin). She was abandoned last year during a coast guard rescue few hundred miles off Cape Hatteras. I hope they find her again. Brent
