AGM batteries are fantastic.However, they are expensive compared to typical flooded batteries. If you are just starting mains and running a bilge...
Your solar panels would be stand alone. You run them through a charge controller connected directly to your battery bank with appropriate breaker...
Thanks everyone. My question was to be able to answer/satisfy insurance. I really appreciate all the help. I will tell them we went from 1,110 hp...
Thanks PB. I don't see any way to match mine to exactly which one it is but this is starting to confirm my suspicion that there never was an 1150.
I agree on slightly oversized but 16kw on a 42? What does the boat have now that meets the demand 9kw? Maybe 12kw? What else has to be modified to...
You can add isolation without going to 24v. Or you can put in two systems, 12v and 24v. The generator will not be a good deal if you are running...
No idea where the boat is but I sure miss having Bamboo on the site. It was great having an active Donzi participant that did such great posts and...
Great looking boat! I really like the interior lay-out. The whole boat appears to be in great shape from your pictures. Congrats! Sounds like you...
Does anyone have spec sheets for the DD 12V92TTA DDEC engine and specifically what hp ratings they were available in? I'm being asked to validate...
What are you trying to solve or gain by going to 24V aside from the efficiency increase you get? Have you put together a list of all the 12v...
Not sure about what difference those Lasdrop things make ref. cooling with one engine off, though. Isn't it just a matter of plumbing some...
I just decided it wasn't worth arguing over the strainers. They are not in a place they could be stepped on and cold water (not freezing) effect...
I chose the Lasdrop based on recommendation from trusted vendor AND because I wanted seals that get fed cooling water regardless of which engine...

For those of you who like pictures. Exhaust is now complete (2.5" raw water discharge hose still remaining), shaft seals done. And the surveyor...
Good feedback PB. As someone who is accountable for several thousand employees here's my $.02 in the work from home. Yes, there are some jobs that...
Capt Ralph - Well isn't this interesting. You post your opinion on a public forum on a subject that seems completely unrelated to the very forum...
I wonder what depth of discharge to the batteries their ranges are based on? I’ll bet pretty deep. I see they list a continuous operation with a...
I think it's the size of the losses. There have been many fires and flooding of very expensive yachts in the recent past.
