I thought it was the polite thing to do.

I’ve been in touch with Victron UK and told them about the issue. They have asked where and who has spread the “devious and outrageous” (I made that bit up” comments about the earthing problems. Am I allowed to quote any postings from here?

Jabsco do a variable speed pump that is 12/24. Very quiet but not cheap. Sensor- max I think it’s called.

Thanks for the help. Looks like I’ll have to take Gibbo’s advice.

Is that the thread with Chris W and Terry L going at it hammer and tong?

I am fitting one of these to my boat. I’ve been reading some old threads about Victrons unclear method of connecting to the hull re. Earthing. Does anyone know if this problem has been resolved and are the instructions in the manual ok to follow? Thanks in advance. Steve P

I got quoted £30k for a fully refurbished Gardner. That’s pretty close to what I reckon a reasonable electric drive could be fitted.

Interesting. I wonder what sort of charger is necessary

I’m still here.

It was just an idea. I’m sure there are a number of ways around it. same problem with a hose pipe and everybody uses them.

I found out what the problem was. The calorifier had a small leak just above the electrical connection and was dripping on it. I replaced it and no more shocks.

If I had a canal side pub, I would look into installing a charge point. I’d tell all my mates that have pubs on the canal to look into it as well. Could be a money spinner. Nice pint and something to eat and charge the batteries at the same time. Could be my ticket out of here, if I had a pub on the canal. ?
