Given all the refit and upgrades you are doing I strongly recommend you ditch the VF heads and go with the Raritan or similar as Pascal mentioned....
I believe I could have but elected to replace everything.
I went with a Sea Star electric powered HPU. It replaces engine driven pumps. Otherwise the components are the same (helm, tubing, tiller ram,...
‘Thanks. No intention to use anything other than 8Ds. There are widely varying CCA ratings within the 8D size group thus the original question....
It was a pretty simple one sentence question about the minimum CCA specs. Apologies if that caused you to mentally masturbate.
Yes, 1450 Cold. Actually the Full River AGMs I’m considering are even higher at 1525 at 0 degrees F
My existing batteries are AGM so no levels to check. Given I cannot be near the boat for extended periods I do not want flooded batteries. I’m an...
I read that the same way. I think I’ll just get the 1110 CCA for now to get me by until I can get better replacements for all 4. I’m looking at...
Thanks. Not sure if that is the acceptable CCA range for all the engines listed or just the CAT labeled batteries they sell?
Does anyone know the minimum cold cranking amps required for a C-18 ACERT 1150 hp with 24v starter? I have two bad batteries and need to replace...
My first suspicion would be your gear oil cooler. You may be getting water into the oil via a failed tube or similar issue in the cooler.
Why not make new frames out of aluminum or stainless? Aluminum with white powder coat would last a long time. Pretty sure you know a place that...
I'm surprised by the draw from VHF's and shower sumps. I guess I need to check mine. I've also never seen a dual connector like what you have in...
Any idea what caused the meltdown? Seems like you are pretty diligent in checking for loose connections and such. So wondering why this would happen?
As Capt J said, most modern electronics will work on a range of DC voltage. Usually anything above 9v and below 32v. Your electronics will...
Is it just an illusion or is there very little blade clearance in those tunnels?
So these props don't fit a standard shaft taper? Meaning for a retrofit you are looking at not only the cost of the props but new shafts as well?
Sounds promising. Curious though why they didn’t state any actual testing specifics or improvement numbers?
Curious if you are planning to survey it on the hard only? Or are you planning to splash it so you can run engines and gen and other items? Pretty...
I don't think typical water heaters recover fast enough to be used in a heat loop. I guess it's all a matter of how quickly the air handlers will...
