Do you think using lithiums and lowering the weight down there from the factory agms to half impacts the boat stability? It seems like it would reduce ballast, no? When he mentioned using fewer than 1

I asked her for a quote for the parts to replace the standing on my Amel 55 and it was about 12k euros. FYI

Is the diesel tank on a 55 regular shaped or did amel use a custom sender to accurately show fuel? Water tank shape also? Billy

Hi, Anyone used the generator auto start? When does it start? I'm running a test now, letting the batteries drop down. I'm guessing its voltage triggered. Anyone know what voltage the genset starts at

I'm in the process of adding more MV also. I switched my Victron 35A MPPT to a SCM60 during the week and added an Easyview 5 above the AC panel in the galley. I replaced the 675A fuse/holder under the

I have #56. I have agms. There is 1 shunt. The boxes are not ventilated as far as I can see. They are not watertight as the wires exit through a hole leading under the nav table which is not sealed. I

I have ordered a Mastervolt DC500/Mastershunt/EasyView 5 and a SCM60. I am planning on replacing my Victron MPPT with the SCM60. My boat has an alphapro ii alternator regulator and the usual 100 and 6

Thanks John Looks like a vetus ftr1320, confirming with Amel before ordering.

We were cleaning our sea chest strainer for first time since getting the boat and it was pretty dirty but the upper lip on the strainer was also broken and taped back on by previous owner. I'm having

Thats a good tip with the hose to re-pressurize/reprime also.

John and Matt were correct. Moving the switch on the d square reprimed the system.

We turned off the fresh water pump from the DC panel and let a tap run which lowered the water pressure to 0 before doing some plumbing work today. I expected that when I turned back on the fresh wate

Main engine is working fine. The boat has dual RACALs before the engine and genset. The raw water output looks limp to me, I have no context for a normal flow as the boat is new to me. I'm going on th

To your point Joel, it looks to me like water in the combustion process some how. Coolant levels look fine. The raw water pump is leaking but I don't know how that could be allowing water in the combu

I don't see any evidence of oil films etc on the water which I'd imagine would be there but everything I can read says white smoke is unburned diesel so I'm surprised there is no sheen/film in the wat
