battery balancers /A54/ Victron AGM
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

A question about coppercoat
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,

Bilge pump
Yes that’s right, close the seacock for a while with the fridge running, so it fills the manifold. Careful not to keep it closed too long though. Paul Dowd Managing Director FGPS International DWC LLC
