Re: Stus-List Battery Charger at home?

I have this one which I am happy with. STANLEY BC25BS Fully Automatic 25... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BYFSUJW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Does a good job of topping off batteries and then trickling them. Also doesn’t require user to figure out what type of battery it is (AGM, gel or wet).

Re: Stus-List Battery Charger at home?

I have a Schumacher 612A-PE Starter Charger for home use. I have a separate charger on board for my AGM batteries. the home charger works on 6V and 12 V batteries, and can give you 50 amp starter current if you can't wait for your dead car battery to charge. I've had it for years, and highly

Re: Stus-List Battery Charger at home?

I have a Marinco trickle charger that does well at keeping batteries up during storage. It has horrendous RFI though if you happen to have an HF radio at home, pretty much S9 noise from 1 to 30 MHz ☹ Joe Della Barba Coquina C 35 MK I www.dellabarba.com From: CnC-List

Re: Stus-List Battery Charger at home?

Hi Brian, I also have a Schumacher charger, model SC4. It seemed to work well enough for my purposes. A couple years ago a cycling bilge pump ran my batteries flat on two occasions, and I had to pull them out and bring them home for charging. I don’t know how you’re defining “fully charged”

Re: Stus-List wiring problem.

When you say ‘on shore power’ I assume you mean with the shore charger on. LED lamps usually have a broad voltage operating range but I suppose your batteries might not be delivering enough voltage to the lamps. Check the voltage when only on batteries – at the lamp itself if possible. Do the

Stus-List Battery Charger at home?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good at home battery charger? My charger died earlier this week. It was a "smart" charger made by Schumacher but it never seemed to really get the batteries fully charged. I never could find out the charging parameters. Having a charger with an option

Stus-List wiring problem.

Over the last two months we have had some electrical changes on the boat. The pulpit was taken off and repaired. A new led light was put on it. For a Xmas present I put in 4 new led cabin lights and they work a treat. The lights all work on shore power, but when on battery power these two

Re: Stus-List D Sub Crimping...

Lots of experience. Better to buy the 15 dollar tool than to have to go back and insert new pins on a regular basis because the needle nose doesn't do a perfect job. Here is the tool that I purchased. Cheapest one I found and does the job right. https://amzn.to/3aNT0i5 James Nichols On

Stus-List Electric windlass

I love our windlass. We didn’t have one on our 35 MK1 and hardly ever anchored as a result. Now we anchor often and it has really enhanced our cruising experience. https://flic.kr/p/pHsMrg Tom Buscaglia S/V Alera 1990 C 37+/40 Vashon WA P 206.463.9200 C 305.409.3660 > On Apr 30, 2020, at

Re: Stus-List D Sub Crimping...

A DB-9 has 9 pins as a detail. They Come in a variety of pin styles – solder, crimp, etc. if you want a couple of the crimp style – no soldering, I can send some down. Remember there is a male and female version, I can send a couple of each if you need George Cone 1981 C 40 Killington, VT

Re: Stus-List D Sub Crimping...

Thanks Josh and all for the ideas. It is 8 pins into an 7/8” wide connector purpose built for the scanner. No room for solder, at least not my soldering skills. To Andy’s point…maybe just suck it up. Ugh. Another single purpose tool. David F. Risch (401) 419-4650 From: CnC-List On

Re: Stus-List D Sub Crimping...

You could use a terminal board style db-9 or db-25 connector. I could probably provide a male and female 9 pin if you want. https://www.amazon.com/Connector-D-sub-25-pin-Terminal-Breakout/dp/B073RG3GG6 Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+ Solomons, MD On Thu, Apr 30, 2020, 08:35 David Risch

Dave, I’d say that is an area where you don't want to go for a half-assed solution. You know it will fail just when you need it most. Looking forward to seeing you on the water soon. Andy Masquerade Andrew Burton 26 Beacon Hill Newport, RI USA02840 www.burtonsailing.com

So I need to crimp "D Sub" connectors for the radar. Don't want to buy yet another specialized crimper. I understand you can use a needle nose, a magnifying glass and have at it. Any suggestions/experiences out there? Thanks in advance. David F. Risch (401) 419-4650
