till monday gold members get 5x points on purchase. good time to make large purchase. works out to 20% off

So I just did that and bought a pair of 250 Suzuki's for my 92 28 Marlin. The way I saw it was if I was to sell my boat as is could I get 50k, prob not but what the heck. Add 45k money for motors and say I find some Ben Franklins under the couch cushions. I walk out my front door with 100k to...

Yea new binnacle, key switch and dead man cut off. We did talk starboard at dealer. Charging bothers me...

New issue, cannot determine if the df250t has the option of an aux charge cable. Seems as though they are only for lower hp engines or fly by wire type. Anyone able to answer for me?

Black 250 mechanical was all that was available without prolonged wait, I did get digital gauges. My motors will be here in 10 days. My OX 66's have become unreliable and I do not want to wait till 2024 to fish. Mercury said sorry cannot help you and Yamaha has yet to get back to me except to...

On my way to put money down on 250 Suzuki's, mechanical control, digital gauges. They are available and should be here in about 10 days. Looking for any advice on what to ask or look for before and during repower. This is very new to me. Taking off my 1998 OX 66 250 Yamaha's thanks

way above my pay grade!

There are a few up here in Ft Pierce, got my first yesterday!

what skunk says for sure. my local home depot sells a 24x48 in piece of starboard for 97$. i am currently half way through my second sheet on my old boat. lots of things to cover up!

nuff said, i'm out

respectfully disagree to using one panel and 2 charge controllers. a simple google query will explain the reasons why. second your original post said 168 islander, i think you meant 268 correct. images of that boat show many with twin outboards, how is your boat set up? i only ask because a...

https://www.renogy.com/12v-30a-dual-battery-charging-100w-solar-flex-bundle/ look at this it is what you want to make.. no way i pay 450 though. the controller is the heart of the system. get a hard 100 watt panel, some 10ga landscape wire, heat shrink connectors and aluminum angle for the...

That is true. The 50 watt system would keep batteries topped off. If it is the starting battery no problem with a failure to charge, a quick adjustment to battery switches or jumper cable and you are off and running. With an essential system (pumps) and a boat in the water failure to charge...

Catch a sailfish!

The thought of snaking wires from the hard top to the batteries at the transom makes me queasy. The small 50 watt panel system would be fine for the starting battery and could easily be temporarily mounted with a rod holder bracket somehow and stowed when running. Thats a no brainer. The...

The set up depends on your battery configuration. If you have multiple batteries which are charged independently ie "banks" it can be a problem. There are charge controllers that can handle multiple banks of batteries but reviews are iffy. If you are charging one battery or multiple wired...

when electrical gremlins are about and coming and going like that check your grounds. use a jumper from a known good ground to test

Where will this new bank be located, I assume in the bow area since trolling batts. Rather than reinvent the wheel if that is the case hijack some ac from the main panel which I would think is in the cabin somewhere and power a smart charger located near the new bank. That should provide...

Not sure where this is on the boat. Consider a usb charging port in the back, looks like a nice spot for a phone or handheld radio

As I said earlier we fish a relatively small area, usually can still see some land features, good marked structure, so often fish spot to spot on the troll. Typically I run the cockpit and whoever else is there runs the helm. If I had a dime for every time I yelled stop staring at the screen...
