Agreed. My technique is to keep the sealant north of the first thread tooth. While I expect the threads amidst the dope to find some contact, I...
These weren't just bikini check moments for me, aboard. This is an AIS target suddenly appearing, say, 1/4 mile off your starboard midship,...
Yes, I converted to CMap some time ago and completely agree. Of course nothing beats time in an area and creating/verifying your own routes....
Agreed. Completing the transformation now on the engines from 32 (36) to 24. Replacing the cables. old ones are compromised and brittle, albeit...
In two of these boundary areas, one off the cape and one off Virginia Beach, I've had some really strange AIS anomalies. I've recorded one, but...

This whole thread got weird in a hurry. Weird and a bit ugly.
My head went here, too. I'm just not really clear of the scope of the trouble he's having. Agreed, that I've seen a dirty heat exchanger on a...
Honestly do not understand your perspective of this issue. The isolation is precisely intended to separate the grounding of the vessel from the...
Isolation transformers work in precisely the same manner as polarizations transformers, they ensure proper polarity regardless of dock wiring,...
Also, reading back to your initial post, your boat should likely be set to allow you to run one AC on the one cord. I can run most of my systems...
Sarasota, consider calling JTB out of St Pete if you don't already have a resource.
No. You can only run 50 amps through a shore cord rated for 50 amps. To use a smart Y you'd need heavier cable from the pedestal all the way to...
The isolation transformers are simply stripping the ground from shore and allowing the vessel to use its own bonding system, separating it from...
The difference between a 3 and 4 wire cord is simply that you aren't carrying the ground with the 3 wire version, only 2 lines and 1 neutral....
YOT is open to all.
Yes. And if the gates are free, you might have bad sensors even if they aren't throwing a code. I've been down this same rabbit hole.
Gotta amend by saying that the dockside power could also be suspect, but odds are it's between the two as I first stated. Ralph was right,...
