electric

Ammost done here, but cant figure out last few things to keep my setup safe and have peace of mind when I use and leave my boat. 1971 Catalina 22, with a 100 watt solar panel, 100 ah Li time lithium battery, MPPT victron 100/20 controller, 150 amp bus bars, and a (Giandel, pure sine wave) 600...

Hey guys, I recently did some electrical work on my B331, and I could not find a way to release a wire in the terminal block behind the switchboard. Photo attached. I tried to push in a screwdriver but with no success. I understand it is a spring cage block, and it seems like I need a special...

Hello! I'm considering the ePropulsion Pod Drive 6.0 Evo, but I have a full keel which makes it hard to have a Pod Drive. Here's a photo of my boat mod's hull.

I currently have a Xantrex Freedom Marine charger/inverter on my Hunter 460. Periodically when AC power is coming in (connected to shore power or running the generator) all of the AC powered devices in the boat shut off. To get everything back on I have to take my open palm and slap the top of...

With the Yanmar (YGM20 1986 oDay 322) getting 'crankier' with each start AND I'd already beefed up the starter solenoid wire and replaced the button I decided I needed to replace the starter. Not as easy as you'd think cuz there is no access to the port side of the motor without roto-zipping an...

I have bought used Hunter 19 1993. Depthsounder/speed transducer installed, but instrument did not came with the boat. Could you please help me identify the manufacture and model for it? I hope somebody can recognize it by pictures. https://photos.app.goo.gl/5Bsi5CoJBOEQ7t4e2 Thanks.

I installed the Lewmar OP2 (larger than the OP1) on my h40.5 at delivery in early 1998. Although it makes horrible noises (always did) it has performed OK for the last 19 years. A couple days ago I used it to ascend my mast twice. I normally do this twice per year- spring and fall. I did not...
