First, knowing me and my somewhat casual approach to docking, I eschewed AwlGrip and choose AwlCraft 2000 instead. It is more easily repairable. Second, I managed to get Touche' professionally painted for about $4400 in 2011 by doing most the sanding and prep myself. I lightly sanded, degreased

Dave, Philosophically, the MRBF fuse should protect the wire from the battery to through the switch to the PowerPost. That wire should be sized to handle the maximum load on the PowerPost. If you run individual wires to each fuse, that fuse should be sized to protect that circuit and its

Other point is that with Awlgrip is not really repairable. We sprayed our wed night boat, a 1979 J 24, with Awlgrip about four years ago and have had to make some repairs since. I hear that Alexseal is much easier to work with if you need to do a repair. At some point we are going to get

Hi Dennis- That makes sense. I also have MRBF fuses on both batteries, so I could presumably do the same. It would certainly simplify the wiring to just connect that heavy battery cable at the panel end to a Powerpost and run from that to the various circuits. I am never confident about

The PowerPost is about halfway between the battery switch and breaker panel. Less than 3 foot runs each. The PowerPost is essentially fused because there are MRBF fuse blocks on the battery positive posts. Therefore, whether the battery switch is on "1" or "2", there is a fuse prior to the

I had Imzadi painted in the early spring of 2017 - almost exactly 3 years ago. On the recommendation of the guy who does most of th ework I can't do myself, we used Alexseal 2-part paint. Alexseal is an alternative to Awlgrip or Imron. William reports very good results, and uses it for most of the

Hi Dennis- I just wanted to clarify your reply. The Powerpost Plus looks like a nice way to distribute power and I had not seen that. Do you have that near the main rotary switch or near the breaker panel? I gather this is not fused, so if I simplified the wiring by bypassing the fuses and

One reason to use a fuse in addition to a breaker is to protect smaller gauge wire. In many panels (like mine) breakers are 15A, which would require all wire runs to be 10-12ga (maybe 8ga on larger boats for long runs) in order to supply 15A without wire damage. Of course, C didn't use this size

No idea what is in mine, but just tightened it yesterday after noticing about 1 drip every 6-10 seconds while sitting. There was a lot of salt around it, so it's probably been loose for a while, and the nice clean bilge has now made it noticeable. Sliding the shaft back to remove transmission may
