I have raymarine mfd with ev 150 auto pilot but does not have sonar module. if i would ever want radar, engine info, i could tie into that plus the new 9 in ray is twice as much. all i am looking to do is upgrade from my present garmin gps fishfinder and not break the bank. marlin prob...

Saw this on sale at west marine and get 3x points. fits size criteria for install and budget. would need cable extension as is only 15 ft. do not fish much over 250ft and usually under 150. seems like a good deal to me. but really would appreciate input

If batteries are wired in a parallel bank, ie multiple batteries acting as one they should all be of the same voltage and capacity. Should one of a 2 bat bank set up go bad I often replace both and use the good battery in a single battery situation

While replacing the plastic intake screen on my port lower unit noticed the seal on one of the trim cylinders was leaking. Ended up putting in about 50cc fluid, everything works fine for now. Just ordered replacement caps with seal and spring assembled and the special tool. Wanted to be sure...

very jealous, curious how long did you have to wait to get them

pro units due to buttons and touch make the display to wide, have to stick to touch screen only

My problem is I am not sure what to like!!

The boss has given permission to upgrade sonar on the boat. Currently using a Garmin echomap 70/90 with transom mount transducer. Currently have Raymarine ev150 auto pilot with Axiom 7" mfd. Would like to stick with Raymarine to keep everything networked. I can squeeze in a 9" mfd and...

just got this from acr

this is the wire diagram using the multiengine connector, which seems clearer to me but looks as though it will remove lanyard from circuit

2 keys one lanyard, close to kill type. first glance i only saw 2 wires one signal one ground, but with glasses and flashlight saw it was 2 pairs of signal and common. below is wiring diagram came with product and is for single engine install. .

Installing acr olas wireless safety cutoff switch on the boat. Current kill switch is closed to stop single switch with 4 wires out the back. 2 white and 2 black. I am assuming this single switch controls both motors with one white and one black for each engine (ox66 250 yamaha). Also...

forgot to mention, 100 w panel will be nothing more than a maintainer. additionally most controllers are single bank design. there are multibank controllers out there but not sure how well they work. peak amp output on a 12v 100w panel might be 3-4 amps divided between 3 banks, pretty low

with my twin 250s only the port engine voltage is displayed, i have not figured out how to cycle to starboard if that is even possible and yes mfd (garmin) reads voltage of house but tiny letters and hard to read when running and i like redundancy. as for the alarm it gave me 30 sec warning...

volt meter will give you a fair idea of state of charge with healthy batteries. a more accurate state of charge /capacity level requires a bit more, a meter with a shunt wired in will give accurate voltage and state of charge. yes many solar systems are equipped with that set up. i use mine...

only thing i would add to skunks layout is a voltmeter for the house side. i ran wire from battery compartment for both starting and house bats to helm and have a small digital voltmeter dedicated to each . allows charging info and state of charge at a glance and piece of mind on an old boat...

My fishing buddy does not have the greatest mobility lately. The usual set up is he runs things at the helm and I handle the cockpit. Clearing things in the water after hookups can be challenging. We have been fishing two squid daisy chains from the inboard outrigger rings and use old Penn...

:eek::eek:

Out fishing the other day and noticed the releases on the flat lines and outriggers were stiff cranky. Today I took apart the outrigger releases taco style with threaded adjuster on top and cleaned and lubed them. They seem much smoother now and adjust easily. Flat lines were wire clip style...

this may not be applicable but i have to put in 2 cents worth. my boat has fixed side of cabin mounted riggers. anyone that has ever been on my boat can deploy, re-ploy (?) rig the fishing lines, check releases etc... with little trouble. rest of the guys i fish with have collapsible top...
