Hello all,
Wondering about the practical vs the theoretical here.
Am upgrading the DC system, adding a Group 24 dedicated start battery, and
connecting the two group 31 in parallel to double the capacity of what will
become the dedicated house bank. Am adding a blue sea switch and ACR.
FYI -
Hi Dave,
Your ACR doesn't function as you describe; it is just a relay, with no charging
intelligence built in except that it will only close when it senses charging (a
voltage above a certain level for a certain time) on one or both battery banks.
That shouldn't matter too much if both banks
Good morning fellow C&C owners,
I'm looking for input from those who have sailed the shoal draft version of the
C&C 30 (draft of 4'2") in comparison to the standard draft version (5').
Theoretically, the standard version should point a little better, but in
practice is there much difference in
The nanny state invading our sailboats.
"...connections of less than 7 inches..." Really?
I don't see the need for fuses in the cables between the batteries and the
selector switch. There is a difference between careful and paranoid.

Hello everyone,
I've noticed that my ice chest doesn't seem to keep ice very long. Does anyone
know how these are insulated? Also, any ideas to increase the insulation are
much appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks For the thorough reply Tim, valuable and extensive detail there, and
some food for thought. I do understand the operation of the acr and the
goals/theory of overcurrent protection, as well as voltage drop/cable ampacity
more than my already-too-long post might infer.
Thanks for the -qu
Steve,
I won't defend the standards (and they are not state regulated, but industry
adopted 🙂), but they do need some understanding. The requirement is that all
wire in a circuit needs appropriate overcurrent protection, not that every wire
needs its own fuse.
Following that, if all the wir
Lol... Agreed Steve but in this case i tend to think of it as the lawyer state
rather than nanny state. (WAs so boggled by this sort of thing at one point
that I put a label on my 6" bench vise that says 'caution - do not eat'. ).
I don't think fusing the main house bank cable is such a terribl
Mark,
The 25's icebox isn't insulated very well if at all.
Unfortunately you pretty much have to disassemble the cabinetry around the
icebox to properly add any insulation.
You might be able to take out the screws around the top of the liner and
slide it out the top to gain access to the inside, i
Hi Graham,
I do have the shoal draft version (4’ 3") and race it every Wednesday in our
club where there is another C&C 30 with std draft. Yes, he does point higher
than me for two reasons : deeper keel and his boat is more recent with the
shorter mainsail and a track for the genoa block sheets.
Graham : the shoal draft draws 4'6" I find it still points well

My ACR is so close to the battery connections I am not fusing it. The wire
runs are literally about 4 inches.

My literature states that my shoal draft 1973 version is also about 4'6". A

Thanks Rick. I wonder how much room in between the ice chest and the cabinet
that there is to actually insulate. I was thinking of giving up some interior
space and adding 1" of foam with some type of protective barrier to the inside
of the cooler.

Mark,

The first few pics show how much insulation and space there is around an
early 70's 35 ice box. Yours may be similar.

It appears that there are differing reports from the literature.
Sailboatdata.com has the draft at 4.2' for shoal and 5.00' for standard. In
any case, it appears that the shoal is somewhere between 4'3" and 4'6" and that
theory holds a bit in practice of the owners, but the shoal still points
PHRF-LO lists the 30-1 draft at 5', and the shoal draft version at 4' 2".
Though the manufacture's displacement specs are usually optimistic,
the shoal draft version is claimed to be 500 or 600 pounds heavier.
I would guess that the extra weight, possibly extra waterline, is not as
much of a handi
