Depend on your charger. Some older charges may have only two "settings" (charging profiles), for example, one for lead acid/AGM and one for gel...
Hard to add anything very useful without that further info from Scott... -Chris
I'd plan on both. Cleat to take strain off the windlass. Bridle sometimes (depending on conditions) to reduce bouncing on the rode, even with...
Um... yep... good point. For example, the line from our genset has its own additional valve... -Chris
I agree, better to trace the line, yourself, and then mark the unit. Ours has five gates, one for each main engine and gear, plus one for the...
Can't imagine folks actively "not liking" them. Would think more often its a question of "degree of need," priorities, finances, viability, ease...
Got it. Turns out my crew and I won't be available.... but it'll help that you've added that info here, so others can see... Good luck with...
What vessel? -Chris
I'd have thought that would have been an Excursion; I know diesel was available, and I'm pretty sure the big gas option was the V-10 in that. I...
I forgot about that one. Those rear seats be a plus. I can fold ours (Suburban) in a couple different configurations, lay stuff on top of the...
Maybe Suburban/Yukon XL/Escalade ESV... or an older Excusion. -Chris
Head, certainly. We'd probably shop for a "good head, with a center console attached." At that point, again assuming our boating life has...
And I hope OP doesn't think I was trying to talk her out of a stern thruster upgrade. I only meant to be waxing eloquently about her...
Dunno. High speed wouldn't be a goal for me, though. No, haven't seen that. I've only seen pics of engine mounted further aft, under the...
Wouldn't seem exceptional to me. If your boat driver is using bow and stern thrusters for sideways movement, and only using gears for fore/aft...
Maybe largely because outboards can be fully tilted out of the water, not because they're inherently great. And because there weren't as many...
Maybe not a bad concept for starting a business by funding a charter boat captain... (I'd have to think more about that)... But my first thought...
I strung a 5-meter LED "rope" around the front half of our engine room, and just tied it into the existing 12V circuit. It made such a...
Thanks. Outside storage -- apart -- could work. -Chris
Thanks for ideas. Our house is sort of gingerbread-like, mostly chopped up small-ish spaces (including the two separate attics), no long runs......
