Hi Dennis, I replaced mine about 4 years ago, it's still running 24/7 * 12 months a year. I also replaced the NiMH battery at the same time, I used an Eneloop "C" size, don't think those are still available. They sell a "C" adapter for their AA battery or you can just buy a regular NiMH "C" or

I am getting about 2 AH per day out of that. 5 days should be OK with good batteries (for one battery). 10 days would be pushing it. My 50 watt solar panel would easily keep up with this and keep the batteries topped off. Even a 25 watt panel would do. Joe Coquina C 35 MK I From: Andrew Means

Infinite battery life would be pretty great. I'm mostly just wanting to know if we're talking days or weeks here. The boat is away and offhand I can't remember what amp/hour batteries I have, but they're wet 12v batteries (i.e. probably like car batteries) so I feel like we could estimate 45 amp

SHORT STORY: I have my boat on a mooring ball with a Rule 500gph bilge pump that seems to be ‘checking’ just about every 30 seconds (no idea why it’s doing that and not 2.5min). I’ve got a bank of two 12v batteries, pretty much fully charged. Roughly how long before they go flat? Long story

Different boat, but my 30 has a screw cap that one fills with grease.  Then periodically turns the cap to push more into the column.  A pain to get to.  Luckily I have a flexible son.RonWild CheriC 30-1STL On Sunday, August 11, 2019, 07:18:30 PM CDT, Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List wrote:

I just purchased that vent as well. Do you know if very heavy spray will find its way down that vent and it will have to be buttoned up inside? Thinking of having it before the mast. Just did a lake race and ended up with a ton of water in the V-Berth Because I didn't dog the hatch down all

Hi Tom, There are 3 small ball bearings that support the weight of the rudder that are located under the radial wheel Perhaps they are the source of the chirp. I replaced my large rudder bearings last year because of excess rudder play (no chirp). Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C 37+ East
