That stands to reason, the boat looks like she's ready to enter a boat show! Congratulations for an outstanding job. It just seems that the port...
Thanks God this ain't twitter. I agree it's not your job to convince me of anything, but neither it is to post ironic replies and wrong...
Can you link any MAN sheet specifying a requirement to use block heaters - let alone keeping them on 24/7? In all their engines (yours 1550...
How can you tell they are? And are you sure they are analogue? The D12 are electronically controlled (EVC, in Volvo jargon), and their...
Actually, if wired properly, the inverter shouldn't trip the GFCI even if permanently bonded. My Victron inverter is, in fact - also because one...
They should pay me a quite substantial amount of money, to go cruising on that thing. o_O
Sorry if this comes across as an attempt to teach grandma how to suck eggs, but it seems to me that you should give that anchor a bit stronger...
Mantus and Rocna are two of the "new generation" anchors that often spark endless debates in forums, youtube video comparisons, and whatnot. My...
Glass tube fuses are rather common in Europe, though not so much in boats, but they are mostly 6x30mm, rather than 27. Besides, what is unusual in...
Absolutely. And neither is Selene, in several ways - this is the only point on which I can agree with ES. But suggesting a GB 59 Aleutian (which...
Hellooooo...! Is it some kind of broken record there, posting as Eric Splinter?!? o_O
Weird statement, considering that some of the largest container ships on the planet are single engine powered. As the old saying goes, two...
Coming to think of it, since in terms of redundancy you are clearly covered, why fit a starting battery for the genset at all? I mean, having now...
Well, good thing that I said what do I know...? In Europe, I can't recall to have ever seen any boat above 50 feet or so whose domestic bank...
My point exactly. Then again, we are now just speculating. Maybe Dockmaster will now tell us that he has a 12V domestic bank, or that he has 24V...
+1 to all that from my part, FWIW.
LOL, yeah, I'm well aware that a 24V bank is made of 12V batteries in pairs - or 6V batteries in banks of 4, which is what I've got. :) But the...
I see that nobody else asked so far, so maybe I'm missing something. But aren't your gensets 12V and house bank 24V?
As much as I appreciate CR experience and competence, I actually think his guess (he did say "I wonder...", in fact) is not correct in this case....
Yeah, AFAIK that was a relevant factor behind the not so great reputation eventually earned by those engines, at least on this side of the Pond....
