    Reminder to turn off batteries

    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...

    Inverter Systems??

    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...

    Fuel level sensors, what type? Fuel flow settings for Axiom Pro

    The Yamaha CL7 display asks for fuel sensor type ABYC, Yamaha or ? Does anybody know what GW installs in the Freedom 335 (only one tank) as I seem to get really weird information not only on level but also on "fuel used" as shown on my Raymarine Axion 16. Now I am just counting hours and miles...

    How are the fuel gauges wired??

    I seem to have a continuing issue with fuel gauges. First they did not work after removing and putting batteries back. Turned out to be ground wires not connected at battery.

    Port side wiper sweep is too short

    My port side wiper sweeps only about 40 To 60 deg. I wonder if there is anyway to adjust it without removing the motor over which is in the cabin and caulked into place. This is annoying since the sweep starts at far portside and only goes out some over "viewable" area of windshield. Starboard...

    I tried my USB charging ports yesterday and found both dead. As the boat is new to me this was the first time I would have used one. The normal 12V cig ports work but not the usb ones. Does anyone know if they have a different feed circuit from the 12V ones and if there is a fuse, and where it...
