no need to go to the battery with either. mine is powered from pos and neg buss low at the helm, those buss are fed directly from the transom/house battery.

we talked about that at the shop

Got the props on but no chance to run, bad weather. Would have had to pull props anyway as the day before I got an outrigger line in the port motor/prop. Went swimming offshore with the Portuguese man of war, which I fear more than the spinner sharks and thought I got it all. At the dock I...

Spoke to welder/fabricator (beautiful shop) very near by. I have to bring boat to him, his welding truck must be near the job and so cannot do on my lift. Started pulling wires, at least 2/3 mostly old coax were useless and good riddance. Going to try and wait for my 200 hr service when I...

do not have it on my raymarine ev150, not an option. could not justify the expense, (garmin)to get it

I have heard stories of frying electronics from welding current. Is that a real problem?

Looks like I have a second weld in my hardtop support tubing that is breaking. The first came with the boat, the second seems to have started recently. Not sure how this should be handled. Steel no prob, I would repair it myself, aluminum not so fast. Looking for advice. thanks

follow up to come asap

looks like i am gonna try 3x16x18.5. book says i should get 600rpm and better fuel economy

3 blade spec is 55-6100k rpm

So after 100 hrs I am thinking that I am just not getting enough rpm at WOT. Seems like no matter what conditions or load the best I can get is 5200 on port and 5150 on starboard and a max top end of 40mph. 280 Marlin with 2022 df250 Suzukis. Currently running 3x16x21.5 props from dealer. I...

same 3 holes on mine, will look at it again in 100 hrs

did my 100hr yesterday on trailer from another post (no problems with trailer). question can you add gear lube in the top vent hole and stop when lube starts to flow from fill hole. something like a seastar helm filling device would work fine.

Misspelled winch again. Not looking for a promiscuous lady!

Getting ready to pull my boat 280 Marlin for 100 hr service. Only going from the ramp to the parking lot and back to the water. Using a recently rebuilt trailer of a good friend which is rated to hold the boat. My question is setting up the wench post dimension. Is there a length from the...

“If we were in some kind of a catastrophic, grid down type of situation with no Internet [as occurred during Hurricane Katrina in 2005], a couple of AM stations can almost cover the entire country to get information out,” Toenniessen says. Hmmm got some room in my radio box upgrade panel, maybe...

well thats what i get for going with roll up windows and no ac

Not trying to be a pita here but that diagram shows only one ignition key. Do not the AP models have two ignition switches like my manual model. I believe that is where I started to run into trouble.

I bought the acr-olas when I had the old motors and thought like you one kill switch for both motors. Turns out it is one retainer clip but behind the helm was a very tight and complex unit with wires everywhere. Bottom line a dual engine kit was needed to make the installation, which I did...

I did same after eliminating all ac on the boat. Pulled the old one out from under gunnel and put the promariner high up in the battery compartment on port side. Eliminated the twist lock plug on starboard side and put standard covered male input recessed under port gunnel. I have the...
