Hi Mark Two concerns with that meter - it isn't likely sealed, and it does not mention how much current it draws while on. The first you could address by buying a couple of them for spares, and I'd wire it up in line with a momentary on switch so you only have it powered when you press the

On Imzadi I have a Blue Seas digital voltage meter that I installed several years ago. It will monitor three battery banks, is very accurate, and I am happy with it. Knowing the voltage gave me a rough idea of the state of charge of each bank. But a couple of years ago I helped move a real

Looking at the wiring diagrams reminded me of a question I am sure this list can answer. I have not done much cruising yet, but plan to do more in the future. One of the things I am unsure of is how people monitor the state of their batteries when you know shore power is not going to be

Stus-List 3GM Transmission

My 1984, 35 MKIII has its original Yanmar 3GM and a 1984 Martec folding prop. I was experiencing really bad vibration at the end of the season as if the prop wasn't opening or as if only 1 of the 2 blades was unfolding. I'd put it in reverse (during which there was never any of the vibration)

Listers, So now I have another stupid question. If the echo charger senses voltage over 13 and then transfers some of that charge to the other battery, why bother taking the alternator output to the house bank? If I leave the starter and alternator on the starting battery,

Wow! That is a serious penalty. It is three to six around here. Three if in an aperture and six if out in the open. Andthe Flex-o-fold is a geared prop so the blades open together and close together. I have not heard of any of them not opening, unless they have been sitting around so long

Where I race, it is not a penalty to have a folder/featherer, the base rating assumes that you have this. A credit is granted from 3-12 seconds for a solid prop based on type of prop and mounting. Having raced with both a solid prop and a folder on the same boat, I can tell you that the penalty
