A54 bow thruster emergency switch
Oh, I see what you are talking about. That disconnects a lot more than the bow thruster. It also shuts off the anchor controls. I had to replace mine with a rotary switch, as the original pushbutton r

A54 bow thruster emergency switch
Wolfgang, maybe this switch you are referencing is only on late model A54s. I do not have one to my knowledge. Where is it located on your boat? Thanks, Jamie Phantom, A54 #44

Lithium Batteries under Consideration
Dean, I too have that issue, but the solution is to keep the fuel tank full. Maybe some lead bars behind the lithiums will do the trick? I hope I did not cause anyone to second guess their own battery

Lithium Batteries under Consideration
Well I guess I should chime in here, so to speak. I installed Fireflys in my A54 a few years ago. They lasted about 3 years before the voltage drop started to cause problems for me. They were promoted

Raw Water Manifold Failure - A54
I do not think that the manifold corrosion is directly related to the bonding system. Copper will eventually fail in a salt-water environment, which is what I experienced. You can verify the problems
