I used to tow mine with a 1 ton Cummins. Now I pull with a 3/4 gas. For obvious reasons the diesel was better but the gas is absolutely fine. I don’t think you’ll be very happy pulling, or stopping, with a half ton even if you have electric brakes on the trailer. 265 is a very large 26...

Electrical potion of the project is complete. Receptacle is in the anchor hatch where it will stay dry. I don’t love that it is flat, but I didn’t want the 3” protruding to where the chain and rode could grab it when I use the anchor/windlass. Battery in the water heater location. Mounting...

How did you handle the cut rail? I found threads with the hinge side. Not much for the other side though. Thanks

26x13x.75 6061-T651 is here. Gonna dry fit, drill some holes and have it powder coated white.

I just removed one that looks exactly like it. Mine was a 6 gallon unit. Just disconnected the water lines and capped. Disconnected the power line and repurposed. The mounting was simply the 4 screws that it looks like you already removed and you pull it towards those screws. The back is a...

Excellent! So you can go through the water heater space to the anchor space. That’s what had me thinking. A lot shorter than from water heater under galley sink via rigging tube to space behind AC panel and then overhead like the nav lights. Long run of big, expensive wire. If your way, I...

How did you route your power cable? Is there an easier way to get into the anchor locker than going backwards? The way I see it, I need about 25’. That means I have to go to #2. I don’t want to drill through the anchor locker because I’m afraid I’ll go through the hull!! I appreciate your input

Hot water heater removed, cold water plugged, hot water plugged, and even plugged the pressure relief hose because I had plugs. New 15A marine gfci outlet installed from existing wiring. I put the wire to the side via cable straps versus cutting to length in case this water heater ever needs...

Well done! I have a masters from the university of YouTube. Never contributed back. Probably because I haven’t been first for anything Thank you!,

Wow Sir, I appreciate the research! This is why I’ve followed your lead on most of my projects. Thank you so much! There’s a metal shop about 30 minutes away. I’m going to call them Monday to see about a 26X13X.75 aluminum plate. I’d like to have it powder coated too. That was tha...

The pulpit mounted plate is 18.5” wide. I’m not sure how much of that is used by the actual motor. Not all of that will be on the pulpit so the hole thing might not be an issue. That does bring up another question is there enough on the pulpit to cantilever out that far? I wonder if a...

Next time you are at the boat Skunk, can you snap a picture of the Kraken stowed? 104” is long and it looks tight going straight back as you have done or on one side or the other going across the bow if you will. Also, If I go mounted to the pulpit like you, I was thinking of the offset...

The Kraken 90 was just delivered. This thing is massive!

Yes, this is a charger battery 36v 100Ah combo sold on Amazon. IP 65. Just following Skunks lead from his trolling motor thread. My owners manual says the hot water heater breaker is 15A and the charger suggests 12A max current input, so I’ll switch out the breaker. Not sure that they have...

Got it. I’ll cut off the charger plug and wire it to the hot water heater circuit. I plan to use the ac panel breaker that was to the hot water heater. Is that okay? Thanks!!
