The $998 isn’t charged by customs but by the marina Just like cat cay charges $500 to clear customs there which we still do sometimes. They...
The good news is that customs and immigration are now available are at Norman’s Cay in the northern Exumas. The bad news is that the marina...
every gen I ve used from 5kw to 50kw outputs two 120v hot on opposing phases also providing 240 like shore power I ll take a manual transfer,...
Neutral is white, hot is black or red. Typically boats in that size range will have 120/240v 50a shore power with 2 120v hots even if they don’t...
I would assume that it is the one NOT marked generator but I find it odd that it is not next to its breaker. You want to make sure that someone...
Ok so since the breaker is only 0.5amp it seems that it is only meant to protect the contactor which is what actually transfers power. It looks...
Not very familiar with the European systems. not sure what you mean by “The one that trips is under the dash. It is next to the mains coming in,...
More details needed Where is that main breaker that trips and which you replaced? Is it next to where your shore power comes in the boat or is it...
Am the only seeing a bunch of red flags in this thread revival?
Looks like stern drive to me.

I would never have an anchor stored on deck. Never. in all these years I have never needed a second anchor and we anchor a lot. Probably 100+...
Wondering how induction work on generators and how they react to variations in frequency. Some electronics are sensitive to frequency, I remember...
Part of the problem is all the added extras that have been added to boats in the last 20 years. Electronics everywhere, drop down/pop up TVs,...
It could have been a brand new engine, if for whatever reason raw water flow is reduced or shutdown, an overheat is an overheat. Any engine...
If you loose cooling, you have to shut down early to save the engine. 195, maybe 200 max. By the time you reach 220 damage will occur. Did you...
What is so hard about pulling a little Lehman 135? Pull it out and either rebuild it or find a used running replacement.
Well when docked and on shore power, self contained units will still be noisy since the unit is often installed under the bed…. Newer units have...
New or used? How old? you basically have three type of air con on boats self contained: condenser and evaporator all in one unit. Simple,...
I am a big fan of doing a pre survey sea trial to make sure the boat is even worth surveying. It doesn’t have to be long, just bring the boat up...
