The commutator looks fine so I've been trying to find the brushes. :) Any ideas where I can get that?

Doug, I don't know enough about it to opine as to whether it's a good idea but if it doesn't have any negative effects, better safe than sorry. Let us know what you decide to do. I have a 450amp "Mega

Doug/all, That Cerbo GX is pretty powerful! I just skimmed the manual and it certainly provides a lot of cool features. If I was building a system from scratch, I would possibly consider adding it, al

Hi Doug, Seems you read what I wrote but it didn't provide the answers you needed? Probably the result of someone who studied economics trying to explain something way out of his pay grade. :) I'll tr

Parasailor on A54
Stefan, We do like it. - the size seems to be about right. We can sail at windspeeds where before, the motor would definitely come on. On the other end, we had a situation at night in an area with low

[Amel Yacht Owners] electrolysis on jib furling gearbox? [1 Attachment]
Dominique, I was looking at that model also. Did you install it in the lazarette in the same place where Arno installed his Mastervolt isolation transformer? I was wondering if you could install it in

Arno, No need to apologize - I am happy to get advice from anyone. I agree that the 54s are far too tail heavy as is. I am looking at getting a galvanic isolator and it seems the device you installed

Volvo D3 110 Sea Water Pump - Cover seal
Teun - do you have any photos of that setup? Which pump did they use? I think it would be easier on the Onan since I believe it's constant RPM regardless of load, so presumably that means the original

Yup, I replaced my Volvo pump with a JMP. They claim the parts are interchangeable so I may get around to trying to rebuild the leaking Volvo one if I get bored. Given that the repair kit isn't much c

Tips appreciated: Major frustration trying to pull cable through Mizzen.
Kent, As mentioned on my earlier response, the foam bits are cut pieces of the seal for the Goiot port lights. At least the ones on the 54. I seem to recall they were 3cm long each, attached with a si

Hardtop for Amel 54
Stefan, Those panels are what I was looking at, but they are significantly more expensive than the 110w ones! Around 3x the cost, if I remember right. Anyways, I am no electrical engineer but I though
