Re: Is diesel-electric or all-electric the future?

It’s a 220V AC generator, though, not 48V DC? The 5kW chargers convert the AC output to 48V to charge the batteries?

Re: Is diesel-electric or all-electric the future?

Is this an AC generator then? Around on the boat or installed for this purpose?

Re: OCT Offshore Cruising Tender

I am testing some options from Torqeedo on our carbon fibre OC350 - an 1103 and a Cruise 4.0 with the 48-5000 battery.

I looked at ePropulsion but the Navy 3 and E40 battery are both heavier than...

Re: 31.2Kw Victron LiFePO4 Split System Install

The alternative would be a full isolation transformer and for your 50A/12kW of charging you’d be looking at a rather large and heavy piece of equipment.

Termodinamica makes a 24VDC air conditioner...

Re: 31.2Kw Victron LiFePO4 Split System Install

I’m familiar with the Autotransformer, and use one after a 230V Multiplus to get 115V power.

Have you had the boat on shore power long enough to determine whether the galvanic isolator is doing...

Re: Boat internet system recommendations

I have two 1" x 14 threaded posts available, so the OMNI 402 MIMO antenna would be ideal for cellular leaving the second post available for wifi (and like mentioned above, too bad Poynting doesn't...

Re: Boat internet system recommendations

If we want two cell, two wifi, and another GPS (do we really need GPS on the pepwave) then a 5-in-1 might be the only option. Did you look at the Poynting MIMO-3-V2-15 5-in-1?

Re: Boat internet system recommendations

I'm looking for some help with antenna selection for a Peplink MAX BR1 MK2.

The BR1 has connections for two cellular antennas. It looks like this is for MIMO and not diversity, and that MIMO is...

Re: Boat internet system recommendations

I think he means it has its own SIM card and thus an independent cell line, vs. a repeater that boosts an already existing cell phone or tablet.

Re: Boat internet system recommendations

Do you recommend keeping antenna lengths as short as possible? I know Wirie used to make a big deal about that. I have a semi-protected spot inside the enclosed arch under the bimini, and I already...

I'm looking at the same combo. Has anyone compared the Ocean Signal MOB1 with the ACR 2886 MOB Beacon?

Re: St. Francis 50: "Wayfinder"

Last summer we did a battery/alternator/solar refit on Banana (hull #14). Two 12V 600 Ah Lithionics for a total of roughly 14.4kw, and two American Power 360A 12V alternators. We also added about 50%...

I'm told the price is creeping up in ZAR and remaining stable in USD.

Re: St. Francis 50: "Wayfinder"

Can you share a bit about what you sent over? The logistics of outfitting a boat being built so far away are of interest to me. Thanks!
