If "line" means nylon 3-strand, you might get better results from nylon 8-plait. Latter is usually softer and more pliable, flakes itself better....
I've read their installs often include an additional battery bank located near the thruster, and maybe a charger for that bank too. Was something...
We sorta did that backwards from your question. The boat came with a thruster on it's own dedicated battery bank.. and I wanted an inverter...
Something I inadvertently left out, Len: I'm not actually advocating for LFP. My focus was only about the safety (or not) perception. Cheers,...
Understand, but "lithium" is a larger playing field than the smaller LFP subset. Ask your FD guys "which lithium" they were dealing with. Or try...
One approach might be to add the battery bank and inverter system first... then use it... evaluate... decide whether adding solar to that would be...
??? Are you intending a leisurely trip? Or a "delivery?" ICW, outside, or a mixture of both? Some boat details: length, height, and draft and...
AC vs. AC/DC... pros and cons, of course. We've had NovaKool in the past, worked well enough -- including the freezer portion -- but needed...
Not Cabo, but our boat came with Sub-Zero units, a door freezer and a 2-drawer fridge. AC only. We recently had to finally bag the freezer, and...
Yep, good point. -C
If it helps to know, the aft inboard mount on our starboard 900 CRM is stamped 1794 51. [ATTACH] -Chris
Haven't been paying strict attention, but seems to me diesel prices we were seeing as we moved the boat south last month were always at least...
It's difficult to replicate power of up to, say, twin 1200-hp diesels with (mostly gas) outboards. Marine diesel usually less expensive, with...
Near as I can tell, there's never yet been a documented case of fire caused by LFP batteries. Which is not to say I've read everything about...
I've been reading threads about lithium batteries in several fora for years... and I've drawn about eight conclusions. 1) LiFePO4, aka LFP, is...
In our previous boat brand, they weren't commonly installed until circa 2003. -Chris
I'd have thought many here would have jumped all over this... -Chris
We have Oceanair blinds, and we also have a hatch shade like the one in your photo. Works well enough. Had some cosmetic damage to it when we...
Sea Vision is what came on our boat; dunno if factory option or aftermarket installation. AC version. Needed a new incandescent bulb, got one...
No clue about the boat, but if you don't know already reading suggests you should look over Tony Athen's/Seaboard Marine recommendations on how to...
