Hylas Discussion / Re: Fridge/Freezer lid gas shock pressure?
« Last post by Ambition on August 07, 2019, 07:45:52 PM »
Mark,
When I inquired with Queen Long a few years ago for our 46 Ambition, they provided the following information:

We can provide the current gas shocks (ST30-40-5 ATTWOOD SS 8MM EXT 10" CMP 7") with brackets (SL58SSP3-7 ATTWOOD SM 90D BRKT W/10MM  B) model we used for fridge lid for current boats.

We purchased them and had no issues at all.
Hope this helps you!

Hylas Discussion / Fridge/Freezer lid gas shock pressure?
« Last post by tulsag on August 07, 2019, 07:37:15 PM »
Does anyone know the gas pressure orderedo by Hylas in the fridge and freezer gas shocks for the top opening fridge and freezer doors?  I'd like to replace both gas shocks but I can't read the pressure on my Attwood shocks. Attwood says that the gas pressure is stamped into the rod or the cylinder. Looks like SL-15-60 in some models.  The final two numbers are the pressure (60psi).   In other models, N180 could be used and that would indicate 180psi.

Dan, under the forward area of the aft bunk is a storage locker followed by a 70 gal water tank. Behind the water is the battery box for the three 8d’s followed by the pulley box for the steering quadrant. A second 57gal water tank is under the aft portion the the forward bunk.

Dan,
The distance from the MPPT controllers at the nav table to the batteries is about 5-8 feet in our installation if my memory is correct.

Merrill and Maryse,

Thanks for your reply and detailed description of the wire run.  Seems like that is definitely the best path to take so that's what I will be doing as well.  It sounds like your installed both of your MPPTs at the Nav Station rather than closer to the batteries, or is it just the breakers that are near the nav station?  If I'm understanding this solar stuff, it sounds like they recommend putting the MPPT as close to the battery bank as possible to reduce the size of the wires necessary comping out of the MPPT.  I still need to do some more research on the topic!!!

Thanks again for your reply, it is greatly appreciated!

Best,

Dan

Jim,

Greatly appreciate the description of your boat layout and solar set-up.  It's interesting that your 8D house bank is under the aft cabin bunk around the steering quadrant.  Does that mean you had to give up the aft water tank in that same location, or did you just put a smaller tank in its place?  I've been looking at doing solar wings as well on each side of the boat which it seems more and more people are doing.  At a minimum, however, I'm going to install one large panel on the davits perpendicular to the boat.  I will take some photos and follow-up for future owners once I'm complete.

Thanks!

Best,

Dan

Dan,
On Ambition we opted to have an arch installed on which we have 2 X 175W solar panels as well as our 450W MarineKinetex wind generator. All the 8 Ga wires run down the back leg of the arch on the port side and into the locker. From there the wires run behind the wood panels in the aft cabin, behind the cupboards in the aft head and into the nav table area. The Blue Sky MPPT controller for the solar panels and the MPPT controller for the wind generator both have breakers so that they can be removed from the charging system on board. These two systems ONLy charge the house batteries which are located under the port settee and the forward berth.

Hylas Discussion / Re: Getting replacement Antal winch motor
« Last post by tday01 on July 29, 2019, 07:19:40 PM »
If you are sure it's the motor, there are companies that specialize in rewinding and repairing electric motors. It may be cheaper than getting a replacement from Antal.

Here is a random link to one I found with a quick google  for Newport: https://www.deltamotor.com/repair-services

I doubt I can make the 'race, but I may sail over Saturday.
