Re: Stus-List Flooded Batteries

If the engine turns over at anything close to a "normal" speed then the battery is strong enough and not the problem. You can prime the engine by operating the flipper on the lift pump or by holding the decompression levers while running the starter. The decompression levers are also a way to

Keep in mind that the AGMs require somewhat different charging characteristics. Gels are more of a “drop-in” solution. Since “marine how-tos” were quoted here not so long ago, I would suggest visiting that site and doing a bit of reading there. He has plenty of info, both plus and minus about

Re: Stus-List Flooded Batteries

Peter, Your problem is very likely a very small leak in your fuel system. Your starter turns until the system is primed and it will stay fine for few hours, but then air gets in again. I experienced this problem before, my leak was at the secondary fuel filter. yanmar 2 GM20F Bruno Lachance

Re: Stus-List Flooded Batteries

Nice, they do seem the cost effective way to go. In your experience do weak batteries make diesels hard to start. Two weekends after sitting all week the starter turns but there is no ignition but there is smoke.  Finally on the 4th time it starts and has no issues the rest of the day and no

I also use flooded. I only use Delco Voyager batteries. They seem to be a favorite of professional bass fishermen. I get 7-8 years service life for about $110 a battery. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Sun, Sep 22, 2019 at 8:37 PM Josh Muckley via CnC-List <

Re: Stus-List Flooded Batteries

AGM can and will still off gas and overheat so for the most part they carry similar safety concerns as flooded batteries. Their biggest safety advantage is that they are "non-spillable" but really, if they spilled would it be such that anyone, most of all kids, would be exposed? Josh On Sun,

I'm using AGM's only because of the location. House batteries are under the saloon floor, and sit at an angle. Doug Mountjoy sv Rebecca Leah 1988 C landfall 39 Port Orchard, WA On Sun, Sep 22, 2019 at 6:29 PM Peter Cowenhoven via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Anyone still use

Re: Stus-List Bimini top with solar panels?

https://photos.app.goo.gl/8ySjGTPWTwvEPBQF7 This is what I have. It's a lightweight construction made of wood. It's large, so great for the tropics. There are two small semitransparent "skylights" so I can peek at the sails while underway. The solar panels are screwed onto the roof at the back.
