Bob — I think you missed the boat reference underneath the C: Irwin 43 “Waterdancer”. I imagine that’s where the batteries live… and the dogs… :^) Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( > On Nov 20, 2015, at 7:54 AM, Robert Boyer

And since the biggest batteries you could fit into the bilge of a 25 would be D cells, I think the Irwin 43 is the correct assumption. Rick Brass Imzadi C 38 mk 2 la Belle Aurore C 25 mk1 Washington, NC From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Frederick

The symptoms are (1) an unexplainable urge to find warm weather, (2) an urge to get off the boat when it snows, and (3) cold feet in the winter. (Just kidding) Life is full of dangers--the biggest one on the highway. How did you manage to fit 5 group 27s under your cabin sole in a C 27? Are

Ahmet, Symptoms? Kaboom! During the charging process the same electrical current that is used to charge the batteries also tears the chemical bonds in the water molecules apart. This is know as electrolysis. The result is hydrogen and oxygen gas. All lead acid batteries are subject to

And the oxygen may actually help :) I know that if you overcharge a battery, or it is a bad battery, you get a sulfur smell. 99% of the time I am running on shore power. The battery voltage oscillates between 12.7 and 14.1 I suspect that most of the charging current goes directly to my consumption

Waterdancer, although an amazingly good sailor (for a Irwin Center Cockpit) has a a wing keel and a great Yanmar Turbo engine, but functions as a floating apartment. Hence the C 25. Since we are both working, my wife would not be happy to have her home not to be there when she comes back home.

Ok, now I am worried I have 5 group 27 wet cell batteries under my cabin sole. They are not wented. And I live aboard full time with wife and 2 dogs. Am I living dangerously ? I never smelled anything. What are the symptoms ? Ahmet C 25 "Tabasco" Irwin 43 "Waterdancer" Boston, MA On Nov 19, 2015
