Mine is 1980. I saturated the ply in resin, bedded it w 5200 as well as fastened it with screws to the aluminum. Provided a solid and complete...
So, hull 309C. USCG looks like it’s been updated due to a period under Cayman registration. Originally, perhaps White Eagle or Barefoot? 71 feet…
I actually have a very lengthy historical database of all of their boats. It’s not quite complete or perfect, but extensive.
need the USCG number for me to check, but I don’t see Antilles in or around 73. Tae Foy? Her lines are right to have been 72’ at birth.
Yes, you can choose to tap 12v off the house setup, but the sensitivity of the electronics to electrical noise and voltage drops drove me to...
If the teak is shot, really good chance the substrate plywood is gone as well. The teak is not going to be salvaged if the plywood needs to be...
[ATTACH]
Yeah, there is no advantage to going to the block and allowing the bolts to be your conductor.
The sundeck of your teak is plywood, and that's going to be rotting given leaks. Below that is aluminum plating that does not create a complete...
Agreed. Raritan macerator devices. Nice outcome knowing that if something fails, use another head. It doesn't require an engineer to keep it...
Yes, it looks right now like it's going to pop back out at or below the outer banks. If you need to make progress, use the ditch until the coast...
I recall the negative went to the starter and jumped to the block as well.
Yes, the need for "some" 12v electronics led me to simply establishing a dedicated 12v systems for electronics only, and I run everything off that...
Just be patient with the project, and do it right. You won't regret if you do... Keep in mind, the 32 volts replaced with 36 volts for the...
Correct. But during the interim I installed a couple of 12v 3 bank chargers for each 36v, and I used those at the dock. I ran like that for...
It's pretty much my rule of thumb...to simply assume 25 gph and 600 gpd on long runs. Keep RPM to the low 1400's, target 10.2 to 10.5 knots apart...
Agreed, all of this. I replaced my overall panel, and I left it in the ER as the wire lengths were proper, and I have my Atlas system in...
So, again I'll try to be clear...the engines and alternators should be linked to dedicated batteries directly through disconnect switches and not...
...add, that if you simply need to get her underway and power the engines, you can feed them as-is with 36v rather than 32, and they will happily...
