You mean for me to do the install? Wouldn't think of taking on that responsibility. There's a reason electricians do apprenticeships and get...
Come on guys. It's a boat. We step across spaces and over lines. A girl in spiked heels and a miniskirt could board that and not even be...
Wait till that spring line slacks from a wake and snags in one of those spaces between fiberglass pieces before it goes taught again.:eek:$$$
The problem is probably on the dock end, but it's apparently not an unusual problem, and our boat won't tollerate it. Maybe we're not equiped to...
I'll get one to install a voltage booster if we go for a permanent installation, which seems to be what's needed from what I've learned here....
Sails shreded Apparently a text was received from the boat on the day they vanished. saying the sails had been shreded and they had bare masts....
Very true. I have only the marina manager's word on what the voltage is at the pedistal (he could have metered it back at a juntion box many...
You've got it, but that's 4 air cons, and don't forget the full size fridge, microwave and a few other ditties. "By definition, all...
I've been close to the first guy's situation. The 2nd I think might have me changing careers. I've always said that if I die in this business...
That's because I only know the basics of the problem. Only on the boat for 2 days, then off for the last month. Still a week plus before I can...
:D:D:D Marmot, you just gave the perfect illustration for my philosophy "Every man to his trade". My eyes literally crossed by the end of the...
Yes, same problem on both port & stbd. SP so unlikely it's the cable. I think the most likely weekpoint is where they connect to the boat's grid....
I don't understand it either, but I expect to soon. I've found that (in almost all trades), that unless you can tell the experts exactly what the...
You may have missed this in post #5 "I asked the marina we're in now to check the accuracy and got a blank stare." So my plan is to get educated,...
Seem to recall seeing it in the gen room (busy room with 2 gens, 4 a/c's, watermaker, etc.) Will check when I'm back on the boat, but I don't...
You're talking about the on-deck S.P. conections. Haven't tried them. 50' of 50 amp is a lot for an old man to deal with on a transient boat...
Yes the problem did occur at the other marina, worse. They did have a problem with their grid. However I suspect they appear to be not bad...
Npt to say the marinas don't have a problem, but I think the main problem is on the boat. That's based on the only other boat that seems to have...
That's been done, but those fuses would easily clear inspection.
It's a safe bet that's not the first time that happened. The batteries are probably toast. BTW, a fully charged 12V battery should be showing...
