I forgot to mention that when the shore power is disconnected all the readings including AC out are correct. This does sort of point to incorrect detection of incoming AC current.

Probably a good guess. I was thinking along those lines. The trouble is that it is expensive to get a new one to find out that actually it is the Venus GX that is faulty. In my working days we had "diagnostic kits" with known working spares to suss out such things. Good idea.

Yes. Happy to wait a few days for them to respond. a few days ago I also posted on a couple of FB groups: Victron Energy and 12v Boating Group but as yet they haven't come up with anything.

Well this is interesting. These have been taken just now via the remote console. The first one shows an AC out reading that I would expect right now, a couple of remote cameras etc. but the second one is of the overall view screen and doesn't match the first.

I will try the ve.bus restart if it's available on the GX. I'm going to the boat tomorrow so I'll do it then. I prefer doing things on site!

I have rebooted everything including turning off the battery isolators. It is an older Venus GX but running the latest firmware available. V2

The readings are the same locally so yes it's a local issue. I've been trying to think of such little things but can't think of anything.

The weather when the screenshot was taken last week was good hence 17 degrees. 6th March at 0830 is when I took the screenshot. I went faulty about a week before that. The SOC happens to state 100%. It's not always correct as any SOC isn't. It is charging at 60 amps. It really is charging at 60 amps, the battery BMS confirms this but I haven't got a screenshot of that.

This is from the VRM website but the same readings occur when connected to the Venus GX locally. I took the screenshot 6 days ago, but when I took it it was live data. When I am connected locally the readings are the same. The VRM can connect to the Multiplus so the connection is there.

It was good for 7 years. Stopped working properly a couple of weeks ago. The Victron Community haven't come up with anything yet.

I have a Victron Multiplus 24/3000/70, a BMV700, an MPPT 100/30 all connected to a Venus GX. The “Power Control” feature of the Multiplus seems to not be doing its job. The AC in and AC out is showing 0 watts most of the time even if I run a 2kw kettle. If the batteries are on charge the shore power shows a negative number round about -25 watts even though the 24v lithium batteries are charging at about 60 amps. If I set the input current limit to 3 amps it still draws what it needs from the shore power, way over the 3 amps (and the power assist doesn’t kick in). In this screen shot the batteries are charging at 60 amps, the shore power is limited to 3 amps. Any ideas? See the screenshot.

This is an interesting video on the event. Chap now wants to be an RNLI skipper! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a03EAv2vZO8

We get Sainsbury's deliveries and pretty much always, a pack of meat which is already in its own sealed plastic packaging is also put in a thin plastic bag.

I think at least one of us (i.e me) read that comment after the typo had been edited and corrected by Gybe Ho so what chance did we have of understanding the link?

Same here on the North Yorkshire coast

I think Julius Caesar did just that. I bet he got muddy feet! 😊

Makes me wonder if there was some sort of technical issue causing lack of power or steering?

I've completed the survey. I understand that the NBTA are suggesting what answers we should give. I'm vaguely interested in what their suggestions are. Don't get me wrong, not because I support them at all but just wondering what they suggest?

Presumably they mean single as in not a staircase rather than single as in narrow.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwygwvwql5yo This ship ran aground yesterday (Monday). Two tugs, one from Hull and one from Goole, tried to shift it on last nights tide but without success. A pilot boat and a Humber Rescue boat were also in attendance. I was watching them on Vessel Tracker. That was the highest tide until the next sequence of spring tides. They may be there some time.

I think he's replying to Mike Todd not you. No. They are always available on any of your devices at anytime. If all your devices are lost in a fire then your files are downloadable from the cloud (Apple, Microsoft, Dropbox, Google or whichever other cloud service you have chosen). A much better solution than an external hard drive stored in another room. If nothing else hard drives themselves are quite vulnerable to failure.

I've had 7 today and 15 yesterday.

MS OneDrive gives you 5 Gbyte free storage. If you want more (which we do as we store a LOT of photos there) you can get Office 365 (MS Word. Excel, Outlook etc.) and a Tbyte of storage for £80 per year. Other rates are probably available. I think Drobbox give you 2 Gbytes free. Google Drive gives yo 15 Gbytes free.

You could use a cloud backup such as Dropbox or OneDrive. Stuff is on your hard drive as well as stored in the cloud. So if your hard drive goes pear shaped and you have to buy a new laptop then it's all there available to download again.
