just read it is12/24v dc, which would make it work at the deer camp which is 24v dc solar/battery bank to 4000 watt inverter. so could power right from batteries and not have to have inverter running at all times, another plus

no it is a freezer as well. setting thermostat determines temp reached and advertises below 0 deg temp. ad says 45-60 watts or 1kwh/day. that would be about 4-5 amps/hr run time. since i now have 2 alternators putting out 55 amps, and 220 amp/hrs of new house bats that should not be a...

Anyone ever put one of these on their boat. Thinking of it to keep ballyhoo frozen while fishing. That way do not thaw out bait I might not use and have to refreeze. Refreezing seems to diminish the bait and cause washout or mushy bait. I could pull some out of this and thaw in a bucket of...

I worry more about seals rather than hoses or fittings and am always looking for the telltale drips of fluid. That said should you decide to replace and bleed I would direct you to MarineTech, https://marinetech.com/professional-marine-tools/seastar.html They make a hose and fitting system for...

i went through all support mounts to be sure were tight

I stand corrected, it seems installing one auto pilot does not an expert make. From Garmin Reactor 40/shadow drive install Fuse: 40 A, blade-type Main power usage: standby - less than 1 A; engaged - 5-10 A; peak - 34 A Flow rate: Configurable from 0 to 2.4 L per minute On the other hand my...

no need to go to the battery with either. mine is powered from pos and neg buss low at the helm, those buss are fed directly from the transom/house battery.

we talked about that at the shop

Got the props on but no chance to run, bad weather. Would have had to pull props anyway as the day before I got an outrigger line in the port motor/prop. Went swimming offshore with the Portuguese man of war, which I fear more than the spinner sharks and thought I got it all. At the dock I...

Spoke to welder/fabricator (beautiful shop) very near by. I have to bring boat to him, his welding truck must be near the job and so cannot do on my lift. Started pulling wires, at least 2/3 mostly old coax were useless and good riddance. Going to try and wait for my 200 hr service when I...

do not have it on my raymarine ev150, not an option. could not justify the expense, (garmin)to get it

I have heard stories of frying electronics from welding current. Is that a real problem?

Looks like I have a second weld in my hardtop support tubing that is breaking. The first came with the boat, the second seems to have started recently. Not sure how this should be handled. Steel no prob, I would repair it myself, aluminum not so fast. Looking for advice. thanks

follow up to come asap

looks like i am gonna try 3x16x18.5. book says i should get 600rpm and better fuel economy

3 blade spec is 55-6100k rpm

So after 100 hrs I am thinking that I am just not getting enough rpm at WOT. Seems like no matter what conditions or load the best I can get is 5200 on port and 5150 on starboard and a max top end of 40mph. 280 Marlin with 2022 df250 Suzukis. Currently running 3x16x21.5 props from dealer. I...

same 3 holes on mine, will look at it again in 100 hrs

did my 100hr yesterday on trailer from another post (no problems with trailer). question can you add gear lube in the top vent hole and stop when lube starts to flow from fill hole. something like a seastar helm filling device would work fine.

Misspelled winch again. Not looking for a promiscuous lady!
