As I mentioned, you have. That is just a type and if my memory is right there are 4 kinds. But that one is the safest to be on a boat.

Sure you have heard of them. They been in our cell phones for years! Replace the generator? Well that all depend on you load demands. As mentioned, half the wight with more amp hours.

It is a type of lithium battery. The safe type, not the same as the ones used in phones or cars. Lithium is a deep to moderate cycle battery. Not used for starting large engines, or until they improve the technology any week now. But half the wight of flooded or AGM batteries with the 10 to 20%...

Speed Prop is a anti-fouling coating. It also makes the the surface very slick giving for less drag. How much less drag, well I don't think its much at all. The coating should last about 3 to 4 years which is a good thing. It works so well there is no slim at all on the treaded surfaces...

I have a small ton of projects. 1. Going to use Speed Prop on my rudder and props. 2. Add LED strips to the V-berth cabin. 3. To add a cell charging station to the helm. Like the ones used in a car to hold it. 4. Replacing my starting batteries and making my own cables. I bought the crimping...

Just thought I would start a new topic that I have never seen here. LiFePO4 is becoming more and more common place.

Yep! The magnets in the motor will do it. Do you have radar? if yes? Can the compass can be tied into a NEMA2k network with your GPS?

Have you calibrated the compass? I am not familiar with Vessel View. But I do have a electronic compass on my boat that is a stand alone device and tied into the NMEA2k network. Is your compass built into the mother board or separate/stand alone? If separate, try moving it. It should not be...

The newer engines, and mine is a Yanmar from 2001. It starts right up and no glow plugs needed. Runs very smooth. Than again, I never started it below 50 degrees. The upside on the fuel itself. No corn, more power per gallon, less to maintain and less work to maintain. The engine will last 2 to...

I told myself that my next boat would be diesel. That took another 3 boats. If you can, I would change over. One small thing about it, NO ignition system. No spark plugs or wires. No cap and rotor. I went to France about 8 years ago and rented a diesel car. I thought it would run rougher that...

If you have a closed system. It's a 30 second job. Open system is a lot more involved. Personly no matter which one. I would leave the AF in the engine or heat exchanger. With no AF in the engine means air that will promote rust. I would not buy a boat with out a heat exchanger. But thats me...

Do you have a closed system or open? This will depend on how winterizing is done.

What about using AWS?

Sounds like he is talking about a file/mail server. But on this site?

Glad you made it back in time! For the benefit of others there are many apps to help out. Predict Winds is just one that is good and for short money. I found it very accurate for wind and waves.

Tabs would help but. I think it ether stern heavy or the outdrive is not coming down as it should.

I don't know your boat! With that said, is the CD player the head unit? You can mount the Fusion unit almost anywhere since it has a rating of IPX7. If the CD player is the head, than you will need to extend or move the speaker wires to the new location. Along with the power wires. Or mount...

I would look into Fusion Marine units. As to the CD unit, those are a thing of the past.

If it was my boat? I would open the engine compartment with the engine running. Do you have the noise in gear? At lest that would tell motor or outdrive. If the outdrive, have you check the oil level? Than go from there...........

Mine was in the engine compartment above the water tank.
