A transformer is designed to change voltage and regulate the voltage coming in. The newer transformers do that, they just have advanced from...
Maybe so, but most modern transformers operate in this manner and are called transformers by their manufacturers and have advanced from the old...
"When properly installed, Charles Marine Isolation Transformers will electrically isolate the AC shore power from the boat's AC power system. The...
Yes a transformer.....some boats have them built in like Hatteras and others.
That must be a REALLY deep draft yacht as I've done LOTS of loadings and unloadings on that DW vessel and it is never submerged so much that the...
You should get some step up transformers that will bump the voltage up 10% or more. Ward's Marine Electric and Lean Marine in Fort Lauderdale...
Edison Cheoust did that with one over this way about 10 years ago. They built a big bohemoth over in the Gulf, then it sat at ACY for 2 years...
I don't know your level of experience. The other thing is every yacht is different. Some private yachts, all the owners want is bland...
From what I've seen, at least half the blame is from the Marina electric now being old and not supplying enough electric down the docks to handle...

Prep is everything with prop speed. If you need to scrape stuff off prop speed, use only plastic putty knives. Prop speed is very soft and a...
Yes, transducers do wear out and after 5-7 years start getting flaky and not holding bottom as well, etc. I usually replace them at around 7-8...
They like to be run at 80% load and haven't seen any issues running them that way....I delivered a few of those boats long distance....Ft. Laud to...
+1. About every 6 hours just bring them up to 1950's for 30 minutes. I've also found the MAN's like to run harder and 1950-2000 rpms or close to...
Price???
ECDIS is not necessary for the size yachts that I run, so I am not taking that right now. I simply don't have the time to take it. That's why I...
I also have had a dozen Newmar chargers go bad over the years and cook batteries, one was a pt2495 (95 amps) that went bad at 6 months old.
You really need to remedy why your batteries are getting cooked. Many times I've seen the charger leaking AC voltage and frying batteries and...
