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

Hi The fun continues on Coder's shakedown cruise. Yesterdays problem were two fold: The generator raw water pump appears to be leaking. Worked this with Bill. The other issue is the generator makes wh

So I just un"blocked" it. Looking at the door from inside the boat. I moved the right hand sliding lock slightly to the left until the nub can be moved down. It's as if it's over too far or something

Anyone seen this. The companion way door locks and unlocks normally with the key. If locked with the key then you can unlock using the inside "knob". But, I cannot lock it from inside. The "knob" is l

To conclude this. I called Cay Electronics, my local Mastervolt dealer/installer. They didn't have the Magic 24/12/20 DCDC charger but recommended a Victron 24/12/25 instead. I mention I have one of t

I emailed Stephane and got the following response back. "Good Morning Billy, I am Ioera from POCHON PRO design office. On AMEL55, the standard inverter DC/DC is a MAGIC 24/12-20 (MasterVolt). When thi

I thought about that but then why use a 25A charger, the whole thing would be pointless. The charger puts out 25A, the wiring supports 15A, use a 15A fuse and pop... The unknown on my side is how long

My generator wouldn't start last weekend so on poking around, the starter was weak. I could start the engine and then I could start the generator. On checking why the starter was weak, the DC-DC charg

Peak is actually 5kw. See here: https://www.mastervolt.com/products/mass-sine-24v/mass-sine-24-2500-230v-50hz/ 2.5kw is their P30 number, I don't know what P30 means, 30 second pulse? 5kw might be mom

I added a Shelly EM AC monitor to my MV 2500 inverter today so I did a wash/dry cycle on my LG Direct 7 machine and here is the data. So, max draw of around 1.8kw, the motor itself uses < 300W, the he

Well, I learned something today. The battery compartment on a 55 is watertight? Good to know. All MV is attractive given the bus and so on.

My 2 cents. My old boat has dual Lithionics 12v x 560AH batteries with external BMS. I like the lithionics brand, latest batteries are UL listed and IP rated. 1120AH or 14kwh was enough to run a 9k BT
