Hi, had right the same problem, removed the straps, problem solved. Do not see why they are actually needed. Rgds Helge

Good morning I have a SQ58@2012, quite sure that the SQ60 has the same system. Behind the 2 isolation transformers (2x32A) is a balancing unit from Energy Solutions. You need to connect to the same phase to work properly. On the box is a LED showing if the phase is correct. On 16A or 32A single...

Thanks for response, I think I will go for a new caulk in spring. It is not that big surface, just forward from the fuel inlets (small step) to the bow. I got a first price of 280€/m2 from a local craftsman with very well reputation. I do not like any paint or oil on my teak, so painting is not...

Good evening Sorry to bring up this old thread, but I am currently thinking which caulk to use for repair. My SQ58(2012) came from factory without teak at side deck. This was fitted additional through EBY, nice work done, all was fine. Already a while ago(2-3y) the caulk at the additional...

I had the same on D12 and still rarely on D13. I comes sometimes when you start immediately after turning on ignition. Wait a few seconds before you start, maybe it will help. Anyway, even with the triangle on display all seems to work normal. Rgds Helge

Hi The bus operates the e-plex module, and that obviously works as you can turn off via the lightning button at the control panel. So it is the switch, or the dimmer if combined with a switch. On my 58 there's a changeover switch, one stern beside the passarelle panel and the other just after...

Thanks a lot, will check with them. Best rgds Helge

Good evening Maybe somebody knows the Fairline supplier of the flyscreens for the 2012 SQ58 portholes. Was a bit windy and I lost one. Thanks and best regards Helge

Hi I have a Squadron58 2012, I am quite sure the installation is exactly the same. You have 2 water tanks between engine room and master cabin. The sender is on the SB tank. It is from Energy Solutions, you find another one at the black water tank (not recommandable to remove), and at the crew...

Hi I have a Swissbike x70, you can order it with a carrying bag. IMHO the best compromise. Forget the folding pedals, better to use some with clips. Rgds Helge https://www.montaguebikes.com/swissbike-x70-mountain-folding-bicycles.html https://www.montaguebikes.com/product-category/accessories/

Hi Enclosed photos show the SQ58 busbar with the original Victron shunt. This sees all batteries, also the starter batteries. I have installed additionally a battery monitor to see just the domestic bank. When fully charged all batteries are drained, when voltage drops the starter batteries...

I wonder why nobody considers a fuel cell. Solar panels deliver little to nothing most time of the day. The look is at least questionable. A fuel cell delivers 24h, is easy to install, fuel supply not difficult to handle. Just my 2c....

Good evening I have a SQ58/2012, I suppose the electrical system of the SQ65 is more or less the same. If so you have 2 batteries for starting the P engine, 2x for the SB engine and 4x domestic. If you have really 8 batts for domestic then you should have 12 in total. In your engine room at the...

Good evening Don't you have the Victron Battery Monitor on the heavy duty panel in the engine room? I have a SQ58 too (2012/#320), and mine came originally with the Battery Monitor installed. I have originally 200Ah Batteries, 6x service, 2 ea for P and SB engines. Interestingly the starter...

I try to start a new thread with this topic, not mix it up too much with the very interesting refit project There are more powerful fuel cells on the market, e.g. here http://www.fuelcellsystems.co.uk/shop/IRD_Fuel_CElls.html But of course you also have to take sufficient fuel (Ethanol or...
