Hi all, I’m away from my boat and need to get confirmation of the exact dimensions of the battery compartment – just the service battery part, so excluding the space reserved for the engine battery. W

Hi Bill, That’s very useful to know. Just one thing that occurred to me, do you have any cable specs for this arrangement? Presumably I would replace the Amel installed six +ive & -ive cables with a t

Hi Bill, That’s interesting. Our Amel came with them as 6 pairs comprising 2 batteries in series, then all 6 in parallel. I guess there are pros and cons for each method. Cheers, Paul Paul Dowd Managi

Hi Bill, When you say this: All the batteries on the 0 to 12 volt side are tied together. Likewise, all of them on the 12 to 24 volt side Do you mean that the low side batteries of each 24v pair are a

Thank you Bill and all others who have responded. The feedback has been very helpful, and it is quite likely that I will go for the Fireflys. I had in mind 12 x G31s so nice to have that corroboration

Hi all, I am curious to know if anyone has any experience with Firefly batteries, and if so whether they are recommended. Cheers, Paul Paul Dowd & Sharon Brown S/Y Ya Fohi, Amel 54 #98 tel: +44 (0)771

Hi, I’d be interested in this too. Paul.dowd@... Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98 - Grenada

Scott, Thanks for the info. I’ll contact Oliver – I did meet him a couple of years ago in the Algarve and he certainly knows his stuff! Unfortunately we won’t be back on the boat in Grenada until late

I would also be interested in getting this new pump. I haven’t followed this thread in derail but I do seem to recall that it was custom built, so would this be a problem for the “lay” owner? Cheers,

Hi Brent, This is interesting to me. I have completed the questionnaire. Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98 - Grenada

Thanks to all for your advice, I have asked my boat sitter to trip them. Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98 - Grenada

Hi all, I have someone looking after by boat and he has reported a beeping alarm coming from the foredeck locker. I guess its either the anchor or furler electrics. Would anyone know what it is and wh

Ulrich, I seem to recall reading that it is important that all the cables connecting the balancers are exactly the same in gauge and length. Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98 - Grenada

Scott, This is really good info. Should I ever find myself in a similar situation I’ll be sure to follow your advice. Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98 - Grenada

Many thanks to all for the feedback on this. I can now happily leave the scraping until we get back to Grenada. Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98 - Grenada

Hi all, With Coppercoat, my understanding is that scraping should be done 2-4 times a year depending on where you are. My question is: does it matter of the hull is not scraped for an extended period,

Dirk, I just had the same problem. Connecting an external gauge the pressure is normal, so I’m getting a new sensor. Note also that you cannot use a normal Volvo sensor, you must get the specially mod

Thanks Scott, good info. I’m amazed at all the positive feedback I’ve been getting on this comparatively trivial issue! Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98 - Grenada

Hi Oliver, Thanks for that. Any idea where I can get one? I’ve contacted a couple of dealers but no reply so far. The other thing is that I don’t actually know what the problem is other than that it s
