ProMariner products are generally (often? always?) the same as Sterling. You might try them... -Chris
In other forums, Peggie Hall routinely recommends Trident 101 and Saniflex. Former when no significant bends are involved, latter for bending....
Reading suggests AGMs can be easily killed, too, apparently by lack of sufficient recharging after a discharge cycle. In that case, I think I'd...
Might also depend on what brands that battery store sells. And how much granularity in their battery tracking system (brand and type? or just...
There's a bazillion of 'em on the Chesapeake, mostly work boats of various flavors (crabbing, oystering, commercial and charter fishing, etc.)....
Some chargers just can't. -Chris
If you've been satisfied with Lifeline AGMs, I'd suggest you consider staying with them. That (being satisfied) should indicate your system...
Lifeline recommends periodic equalization for their AGM batteries. -Chris
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...
