Hi Kevin, we also have a H46 (2003), your deck light appears to be the same as ours, it is the original fixture - we replaced our bulb a year or so ago, you?ll want an LED - I?m currently in transit but give me a day or so and I will send you the size and spec for the replacement, it is a straightforward exercise to replace the bulb, Brian.

On board Ambition, as part of our migration to lithiums and reduce dependancy on the generator for air conditioning, we installed 2 Victron 3000w charger inverters. They are installed on their sides behind the U sofa back on the port side. It necessitated cutting an extra access panel to match, in the plywood back. Two were installed because one 5000w was physically too large and it also provides redundancy. They set up as a master and a slave.

I?ll check them out!  Got quotes from YachtInsure and Ion. Not happy with either.

When we removed our FischerPanda and put in the 6kW Northern Lights a year ago, we opted not to install the sound cover. We don't regret that decision at all. Space is tight so not having the cover made it easier to install and service, and the 49 has great sound panels in the engine compartment. When we started the NL for the first time, it was quieter WITHOUT the sound cover than our FP WITH the sound cover. If we wanted to, our installer said we could install a sound curtain around the NL after the install which would help if we felt the need. After a year of running the NL, there is absolutely no need for additional sound dampening.

Another 49 couple came on board to hear our new genset, and they opted for the same setup because it was sooooo much quieter than their FP with a sound cover. After their install, they, too, decided that they didn't need the sound curtain.

You will love the NL generator!!

I'm also trying to install Wema sensors, but I don't think it's going to work. At least our tanks all have the same size inspection lids. They're the same diameter as 1.5" BSPP, but the thread seems to be finer.
