    Mounting Batteries in Bow

    you will need battery boxes to secure the batteries, and you should use agm batteries so they won't offgas. I contemplated doing this in my old boat but never did get around to it. I would use the stud terminals for my wiring. if you need small current stuff consider adding a small buss bar (I...

    Repower Options: Seafarer 228G

    Ive often thought about removing scuppers and plumbing deck drains into a shower sump box with a macerator pump. ive seen more then a few sunken boats where the low in the water scuppers caused it to back flow and sink.

    Is there a way to adjust the windlass speed?

    yes that was sarcastic humour, what model windlass is it? ive never seen one that I would call fast. makes me think that there's another problem here, and not the windlass

    Is there a way to adjust the windlass speed?

    best way to slow the windlass down is to remove the 2ga wiring and replace it with 10ga

    35lb Delta plow anchor on a 2009 33 Grady express

    I had a 22lb delta on my 20' boat. 35 seems like a more appropriate size. better holding power for a better nights sleep is always a good thing IMO

    With all due respect

    either you are using shite batteries or some thing is wrong... either you or your setup. parasitic load? wrong battery type? heavy discharging? lack of maintenance/ watering? charging profile/voltage is wrong. I dont know you but id guess some reading would help. trojan batteries has so...

    2008 275 Tournament Stero

    I went with a jbl round gauge hole unit. it powers 4 speakers at the helm, and RCA cords for two fusion amps for the sub / 4 speakers on the back deck. blue tooth is great, easy to use, but it lacks the signal strength and quality that a plugged in phone has. totally fine most of the time...

    Replacing batteries on a Marlin 300

    how old are the batteries? id be inclined to ride it out if batteries are still ok condition. but if your set on having agms then get two starting batteries and then as many as you can fit for the house deep cycles. I managed to fit 5 group 31 batteries in my 270. two starts and three deep...
