Re: Epoch 12V 460Ah LFP battery on Sabre 362?
I'm not anti Mastervolt, I just think Victron is better equipment. On some of the new boats we have delivered there have been several glitches right out of the box. Allison Lehman Swiftsure Yachts

Use a small very sharp profile scraper and gently work at it. As latitude said, tedious work. I noticed on mine there are numerous valleys running directly adjacent to the toe rail from overly

Re: Epoch 12V 460Ah LFP battery on Sabre 362?
One more comment to add. There are ABYC standards for LFP. I suggest those of you who have LFP already, if professionally done, get drawing by your installer. If it is a DIY find some one to draw them

Thank you, your knowledge is so helpful. I agree, if that is part of the rubrail extrusion I shouldn't mess with it and try hard to clean mine up. I'll start with Barkeepers Friend and then use

Removing it seems like opening a real can of worms. I wonder if some careful mask taping and skim coating with 3M4000UV might help -- Rob McCarthy, 1995 #Sabre362 ?#362Sabre hull 158 ¡°Windhover¡±
