Lithium systems explode. They burn white hot. They take a significant effort to extinguish. If it's on board, you need (my opinion) to have...
Agreed. I went full Odyssey AGM 31 series which gives me the ability to shuffle batteries in a bind. I have two small lithium batteries aboard...
Here we go again. Search here for "lithium". It's been discussed quite a bit. Lithium is nice when it works. It burns hot. It doesn't...
I had the same perspective when I rebuilt a 53c. I found this "ladder" at Sam's, and I was able to modify it for use aboard the convertible....
I've had good results with the FloScans. They're off a bit, but measurably so, and once that's factored in, they've been quite useful. They also...
Expansion Joint!! Ok, bad idea..
Now that I've spent this much time in it I somewhat understand it...but the issue has been intermittent and not affiliated with load. I had a...

I'm fresh off 30 days of chasing a gremlin in the Atlas system with irregular and intermittent cutouts. It's moments like that which remind me...
This thread causes an itch that I haven't felt in about 5 or 6 years.....
Hmmm....I think we were in Sag at the same time.....
Perhaps walk away from that survey and get on your own plane....to somewhere else...
Sent me through the wayback machine. Recalling a previous boat back before we had You Tube had an Omega aboard. I never did understand or learn...
I did as well, and I placed one in the master as an added escape plan...
Sort of hard to imagine that a trim tab can lead to a cavitation issue. Water flow dynamics must be at the razors edge of being insufficient for...
Or the cooling pumps are above the water line with bronze impellers and very little talent in suction...either way, outcome is the same. Help...
My guess is that more often than not the cause of these fires is electricity, and most likely DC systems. Often I see vessels with batteries...
I was sleeping aboard at Big Game in the late 70's when a Pacemaker of this stature burned to the water line and sunk in the middle of the night...
Yet we only seem to care what we can charge the US citizens with wherewithal to boat. Some countries still pursue whaling. I guess they don't...
I had a plan to vent into the ER and use a lint box for the vent, but punted and went semi ventless.
