full disclosure, i have promariner 30 amp, 3 bank, distributive charger. set up with start 1, start 2 and house ( 2 bats paralled) all marine start/deep cycle. promariner manual said distribution of the 30 amps would be prioritized to the bank needed more charge if needed. that said max...

ditto what skunk says dont over think a simple problem

Looking at this wireless radar to go with ray mfd, got a lot of points from the last 3x sale and now will get 4x which looks to be 290$. Would be used for fishing off so east Florida. Not very knowledgeable about radar, looking for advice

My Marlin with 1998 OX250s gets 1.3 mpg at 30mph cruise when trimmed perfect. Plus the oil. The annual cost mentioned is real and no matter how much I pay attention something always seems to show up. Little things get a bandaid and batched up so as to not keep me off the water every other...

Just installed the Garmin 94sv uhd with gt 54 transducer. Got it at west marine when giving triple points and on sale. The 94 will be great and all I need. The gt54 leaves a little to be desired but should be fine for our fishing activity. Transducer cable is short, so ext needed and the...

yea mine are gone as well!! i have looked everywhere with no luck

looks like you have plenty of room to work with. my boat equipment salvage shop has tons of old panels i bet i could find one that with some modification would work. or go whole hog and have new wire make you one. mount it on the outside not inside as pic shows and you have much more leeway...

Wondering if folks upgrade/renew surbscription for navionics every year?

follow up, we fished again today and weeds were still bad. I rigged 6 weedless small ballyoo with a 4 in rubber squid skirt over the beak. while they did not run as well as traditional rigged bally they ran ok, were essentially weedless and were the only baits to work. caught a king and mahi...

my bad as usual i was to focused on the charge part of the charge/maintain question. the boat stereo use/power consumption piqued my interest and when looking of that type of info i tend to go ask the sailboat folks. they seem to have an innate sense of what happens in and around their boats...

fish out of fort pierce inlet

Fished Sunday with the wife and had a very hard time with weeds. Small bunches all spread out. Not sure if we fished 15% of the time effectively due to weeds on the baits. Running rigged bally hoo with chugers or skirts. Saw some examples of weedless rigged bally, anyone have experience with...

Hate to tell you but if you want to charge batteries on the water with engines off, you will most likely have to tow a barge for the panels

Why does a company that overall makes such a great product do things like mount something that will wear out but be nearly impossible to remove!

Yup a maintainer is all you get. I have several 50 watt panels with a small charge controller epoxied to the back and wired with ring leads or alligator clips to maintain tractor batteries, generator batteries and the like at my farm when not there for extended periods of time. I have a set up...

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
