I have now a few times forgotten to turn off the batteries when leaving boat for days/weeks etc. I have found out the hard way that it does drain the house battery fairly quickly and battery is on good shape when load testing it. I do have at least two cameras and all the Yamaha electronics...

Ok done, Drilled the 2 1/16 in (52mm) hole with a 2in drill and made it larger with a scratching? Drill bit. An odd tool but that's done. Hooked all three engines up with T connector (blade!!) and made sure I can get to all connections easily when needed. Also to the bypass cap on the Fell Hub...

Agree

Well,well, that is an idea that is easily accommodated as an after market modification by an upholstery shop or similar. The zipper though has to be rugged strong and not clogging up by oxidation, so plastic most likely. A good idea, easy to do and all you need is to mount rocker launchers high...

Decided to order the FEll one as I already have some components for it. I did have a closer look at the kill switch and there are three sets of white and black wires going in to switch and I can splice in with T to them and that should work. Finding a good location for the hole to be drilled is...

It all depends on how the shade is mounted. On my 335 there is no gap. So the gap would have to be created by moving the sure shade out some. Doable I am sure. the second picture shows a sure shade on the topside which might make it a little different but same applies, either remove the shade...

The horns are intended for forward sounding, true you may not hear much into boat but not much goes out either with most of the small sized new "buzzers". They are usually mounted below the hardtop or as I mentioned inside hull with opening on one side (stbd), so little sound going to other side...

When you cannot hear the buzzer nobody else can either. It may be picked up by some receiver for an odd frequency but not a normal human ear. Example try to buzz a jet skier he will not hear your buzz but a trumpet (electric or pneumatic ) will get noticed. That is what my 335 have on top of...

Yes that's right there are three sets of cables united into one bunch going in to kill switch. All encapsulated and integrated into the switch and I don't want to break that up. It is all in one cable splitting to three somewhere closer to motors in the back. It may be that (I'm sure they have)...

I had a FELL system for twin 300 Yamahas on previous boat. Was very happy with it, easy install with dual kit etc. At one point it stopped working and easily enough bypassed it (leave access to back side of button). FELL rapidly replaced the unit and all was good. On my Grady I have not been...

This is more theoretical as looking if there is any experience in ditching the gen around. I was reading a multi year thread on the hull truth and a lot has been discussed and argued and systems have developed during the past 3 years. I think in my case the current set up is good. I really only...

All of you who have inverter systems do you have the boat on constant charging when not in use? Since I am dry stacked that would not be possible without some hassle with cables in shed. How big an inverter have you installed to run 3 ACS, Cabin Helm and freezer. Can you also use an electric...

Only comment I will give is to consider Boat on trailer when measuring both length and height. Height in storage is not the same as height under bridge when in water!!!! Trailer is also often longer than boat alone and includes motors and anchor. Just Saying H

That darned Propane grill again.................... On value it is a crapshoot to negotiate actual value, agreed is agreed. H

It is a KUS so I can check that. On the default issue, that is what I have tried, set it on default and then when the tank is full set it as such. No success. I did read on a forum that this is a problem with this version of CL7 and in the next iteration of SW they fixed it. I will once more...

+ Another example of the sensitivity to low voltage or just lower voltage. This is where I don't understand why the alternators would not be enough while motors are running, as long as batteries are strong enough to get it all running. Great that you got it sorted out with an easy fix. H

Why not use the GPS signal from GArmin? THey are connected and I believe there is a selector for internal or external signal. On my 2019 I have not noticed that the CL7 ever would have fallen off, it will disable the Autopilot if signal is too low, I guess that happened once for me but I have an...

Update I did get the information from GW very rapidly and in good format. Depth is 22" and Florida Marine Tanks is supplier so dimensions can be gained from them, not needed when I have 22. H

Thinking of ordering replacement fuel tank sender to use for recalibration of gauge and would need the depth information. I try to avoid messing with existing sender as it does work but the calibration became a mess since it need to be done with empty tank reading (240 Ohms) as single point...

I buy my updates from NAvionics website. Shipped home and installed in a blink. The website does check what device u have and it would??? Alert if the equipment is too old. The Raymarine Lighthouse one I never used but it seemed very rudimentary. When you have a NAvionics chart there are...
