Swapping the three 100Ah AGMs for two 100Ah AGMs (one per engine) + one 100Ah+ LiFePO4 for the house bank.





More casual forum version if you want it:


Sold the 2011 F300s and my friends are handling the install of twin Honda BF350s with all new gauges/binnacle relocated. Adding a Garmin Kraken, GT51M for side-scan (either TM or 1-2x TH), and finally installing the FELL MOB+ I've had on my desk. Also need to remake the dash plate — PO did it in shiny black plexi and it's impossible with sun glare.


On the maybe list: MSC10 sat compass, GMR 18 xHD3 to replace the old Fantom, and a VHF 215 AIS relocated to the top box.


And changing the battery setup from 3x 100Ah AGM to 2x 100Ah AGM for starting + 1x 100Ah+ LiFePO4 for house.
