Ok went and looked at some other splicers/connectors and found some I thought would work. Like the ones in picture below. When I got home I did my diligence test to make sure they would not be magnetic, well they are. So the conductor material is magnetic and that is no good so no use for this...

Car key trick might work, I've gone back for them a few times when put in drawer and I use them to remember to take other things with me..... MOB is another idea but the ignition is off already then so it would not work anymore, I do have one available though. I guess best bet is to get burned...

Not really since when I am done, I walk away and the marina crew comes with forklift and takes it in. I do however bicycle by the boat every morning on my 6 mile exercise trip and I should go closer cause then I could see if the rear camera is on, a red light would be visible in the dim light...

Yes that's what I used...... the new ones would have been better, I can still replace them. The challenge was as always access to it all and starting to peel the wires didn't appeal to me in the limited space. It would probably have been a little safer but this is not a deal breaker right now...

Good idea in general but I just have a fob and it stays on the boat (rack stored). The best probably still is to just have radio on higher volume and not try to spare batteries while washing and prepping boat for rack where it cannot stay on charger all the time. Another thought I've had is to...

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...
