Yes, Fischer Panda 4200. If I jump the solenoid's battery cable terminal with the control cable terminal I can jump start the gen and it runs fine. I checked the control wire (from the remote control panel/start button) with a voltmeter and it receives 12.9 V when the start button is pressed...

Wondering if anyone has advice... When I tried to start my gen, the relay's clicked, but nothing happened. I can hear the fuel pump as well. So I replaced the starter. Then I noticed I can "jump" the solenoid and get it started and it seems to run well. My gen is getting full 12.9 volts. And I...

Yah. I saw you did that. I thought the same thing, that way you can maintain the existing switch panel setup. I would also switch to a 3 bank charger. Thanks. I will make the change soon. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't over thinking it. Right now I am working on the gen. Looks like I have...

Hey Thanks, glad I wasn't the only one. The setup in the link has them separate as well. Only thing I like to do is use "on/off" switches instead of "A/B" and also use VSR's. I use an "on/off" for the start batts, and one for the house. But that's just the way I like to do them, it's simple...

Finally joined the fam with a 2006 300 Marlin. Pretty impressed with what I have seen so far. But the battery wiring surprised me. The house bank is not isolated? Typically I have seen 1 batt for each motor, and then two batts in parallel and isolated as the house supply. But from what I see in...

Would love to see a pic of your chair replacement on the boat. I am considering removing my companion seat as well. A helm seat would be much more comfortable for long runs.

Yah. Now is the time to sell... considering the time of the year and the direction of the economy. Glad I sold my boat in March.

Worst thing any serious seller can do is post an unrealistically high number... scares potential buyers away. I make serious fair market price offers and I only accept the same when selling my boats. Not a fan of "tire kicking" on either side of the deal. JMHO

Does it have a gas or diesel gen? Hours on motors?

Still looking if anyone knows of one coming up for sale.

Still looking if anyone has any leads...

Looking for 2005 or newer in the $90-150k range. Well kept with less than 1k hours on the motors. Ideally located within 11 hours of NY. I don't mind traveling farther for a good boat. But generally speaking, 9 out of 10 boats turn out to be busts. So after a few long trips for nothing, you...

Still looking if anyone has a lead...

I don't know, I still see plenty of boats sitting around, either they lack the condition or they are priced to high. The ones in good condition and reasonably priced sell quick. I have been buying boats/selling for quite a while, that has always been the case. Just look at some of the very...

I have seen plenty of Marlin's for sale. Most at or close to book/market value. Just not many with gens. A local broker told me out of the 30 or so he has sold the past few years, only a handful had gens. Buy yah, boats in good condition always sold fast, that hasn't changed.

Interesting...but seems like he is talking about fully integrating it into his house and starting systems. I am looking to keep it more of a separate, stand-alone system. Basically a "de-constructed" Jackery with less cons, more pros (although I am sure that can be debated depending on your...

"I suppose "small" is subjective"... Exactly, I tried to explain that to her! ...nevermind, wrong forum! LOL... When you said "small fraction" I thought you were referring to the Jackery. The Magma Grill/French press idea would never work for me offshore fishing. Yes, it seams the gen helps...

I totally agree with everything you said except for "a small fraction of the cost of an inverter setup". The Jackery has many benefits over the other options, and in your situation can be the perfect solution. In my previous posts I simply stated what I thought were the cons of the Jackery and...

From what I have read, the Jackery charger gets VERY hot. It's a tiny little thing with little/none regulation. Whereas the Victron is designed for this and has many safety features. And the Victron DC/DC provides the specific charging profile for LiifePo4 batteries, which is specific. The...

So...having spent a lot of time looking into this... I find the Jackery interesting, the Bluetti even more so, but there are plenty of issues. 1) the size. 72ah, not much. 2) keeping it ready and charged. apparently the chargers are not really designed for continuous charging. 3) I don't...
