Re: Stus-List Shore power protection - ELCI's - who has installed one? Survey issue?

I don’t think anyone on the list has a new boat… :^) Yes, they are ABYC-required on new construction; I’ve heard of very few people who have retrofitted them on an older vessel. And I haven’t heard of a survey requiring a retrofit; more of a suggestion, maybe. Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V

Re: Stus-List Shore power protection - ELCI's - who has installed one? Survey issue?

I also have the ECLI breaker, but have not installed it yet - I started a total rewire of the Enterprise’s AC circuits and expect to be finished by the Spring. The first outlet in the series will be GFCI. I’ve run all the wires, installed new outlets and just need to install the panel with the

Re: Stus-List Shore power protection - ELCI's - who has installed one? Survey issue?

I installed the ELCI breaker panel PN8102. Having such a breaker does not remove the GFCI requirement at other outlets. These ABYC regulations apply to new boat construction but are worthwhile upgrades. Ed On Nov 24, 2014 1:36 PM, "Dennis C. via CnC-List" wrote: > An ELCI is an electric leakage

Stus-List Shore power protection - ELCI's - who has installed one? Survey issue?

An ELCI is an electric leakage current interrupter. Any lister installed one? Essentially, they are the equivalent of a GFCI for receptacles but protect the whole boat. An ELCI is installed on the shore power feed to the boat. It can take the place of the main AC breaker.

Re: Stus-List Using 12v trickle charger to test components?

For testing i usually use a "power in a bucket" i.e. a portable 12 v battery/booster with a 12 V socket. Mine is from Canadian Tire, but that does not matter. As a bonus you can use it to start the engine, in an emergency. I have built an accessory plug with alligator clips on the pigtails that can

Re: Stus-List keel bolts

Yes - having cracks through the bottom of the boat is not a trivial thing to fix. A friends boat had an issue like this that was repaired in a quickie put-epoxy-on-it manner and it opened up while he was out. That trip was not fun :( His crack was above the keel, so we could get at it with the k

Re: Stus-List keel bolts

I have to agree. I had a small leak in my bilge two summers ago that strangely enough didn't go away by itself and got worse this past summer. The PO had told me about a hard grounding. I got it surveyed this fall after haul-out by a surveyor with lots of C&C experience. Turns out I have hidde

Bill: I would tend to agree with Jim Watts.have someone knowledgeable inspect your boat. It is not normal to have cracks in the sump that are leaking water. I would not simply cover up the cracks without knowing how significant they are. Did your boat experience a 'hard grounding'? R

Danger Will Robinson: Some battery chargers are designed to be stand-alone power supplies. Most are not. If your charger does not specifically say it can be used this way, do not try it. Absent a battery you may have poor regulation and very high noise. Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I From

Re: Stus-List Using 12v trickle charger to test components?

As others have stated, it depends on the power requirements of the component but I wouldn't do it. The trickle charger has to put out more than 12v to charge the batteries so you run the risk of too much voltage and not enough current. As an alternative...Years ago I would charge batteries for RC

Re: Stus-List Using 12v trickle charger to test components?

No, don't even try it. Battery chargers do not need to supply smooth DC in order to do their job and very few do, especially trickle chargers. The only safe way to use a battery charger to power 12 volt electronics is with a battery hooked up to the charger. The battery smoothes out the ripple
