I've used that method many times myself. Different situations, different methods. Whatever works. I like current too, except when it pushes...
As you point out, every situation (and especially every docking situation) is unique and requires different methods. We do well to be well...
Why not just buy a new one? From 1987 I'm not even sure that's a smart charger, which means you have to monitor it or it could cook your...
Air conditioners draw a lot of juice to be run off an inverter. That should be run off the a/c. The battery charger also runs off a/c. Does...
It definitely depends on location. Here in the U.S. invasion of a yacht is almost unheard of, but burglaries are another matter. Here on Long...
Sometimes you just have to say "That's what insurance is for". I'm not going to worry that a dock which has never gone on fire is going to burn...
You must have misread something. The voltage problem is on the dock, not on the boat. Our meters are right on the money, and we have the...
You answered that with out thinking. You deal with a lot of boaters, and their wives. How many of them know or care to learn how to do a...
Fully intend to, but wasn't going to turn them on and then walk off the boat for a week. 190v is ok with the load we have on currently. We'll...
Yes, all resolved. We were not getting the advertised 208V from the pedestal, but something below 180V. With a voltage booster added onto the...
Actually I didn't weigh in on that statement, because there's an exception to every rule. Many recreational boats I've been on don't have eyes...
Sorry Marmot, but the 1292's I've run from that era (1990) did not have level alarms. When are you going to stop sending people down the CFR...
On the Hat I run I bought a 600' reel to splice my dock lines, and keep the unused 300+' stored for just such an emergency or for doubling up....
I've never heard of a coolant "level" alarm on boats like this, only temp alarms. That's why I would question the gauge accuracy. As you lose...
"Day Tank" kept gnawing at me, but I didn't want to go off on a tangent. That 20%-30% really caught me. First time I've ever heard that. Maybe...
I'd think that putting a line on a vessel drifting towards rocks with people on board or at least coming close enough to shout instructions on how...
I'd say post here, since this thread has more posts and more info. The Admins. can merge them when they get the chance. That CG vessel could...
Anti-freeze is always a 50/50 mix unless it's pre-mix. Straight anti-freeze is too caustic and straight water can't handle the temps. I'd do this...
Capt. J, did you catch that he's adding straight water every day, and that the "Water is clear close to pink". You're supposed to be adding a...
I think the OP probably missed the original thread because of how it cues in SEARCH beginning the thread title with 24M, and I was drawn to this...
