Yeah except your boat has 6-6volt batteries to start a 8v71N, not 2 8D's to turn over a 12 cylinder diesel. In the latter situation you're maxing...
Hehehe, the ends are about $100 each, the boots are $30 each.......in that cord.....if you think that's expensive, look at the price of a 100amp cord.
Then 19-20 knot cruise most likely.
I haven't seen AGM's go any longer in a cool location either. I see them last about 6 months longer than lead acid. Generally I see 2-3 years on...
Bertram indeed used 4x8 volt batteries. Definately have a house bank as well, that way you can parrallel the engine bank with the house bank if...
The 10v-30 volt LED's start at $11.95. You can't use them in a 32 volt system. I need 10 giv's for 32 volt.....

Have you checked to make sure the propellor is not spinning the hub? This is by far the largest problem in bow thrusters. I agree that you're...
I've never come across any in all of my travels down there. I had a small boat run out near us on radar when I was at night on a 109' en route to...
It all depends. It depends on the issue and circumstances. If you can limp to the closest port, limp there and get the issue fixed. Get towed...
It can be done and I've seen it done before. How many amps are you pulling off of each 125volt line?
I think it's overkill. It's nice to have, but I'd rather have an EPIRB if I have to choose. You will be at a marina everynight, you can check...
I've always made it from New York City to Oswego in 3.5 days. 1 day from Manhatten to Troy, NY. Second day to the redneck yacht club in St....
Generally this tends to be a rougher way to go because you're heading more directly into waves and current from the Mona Passage on your way to...
