The current arrangement is not original. Although a 12v and 24v bank is original the boat came from factory with only one generator. I don't know...
If I want a dedicated battery for gen starting I would need to install another battery. Currently I have an emergency connect from a m/e starting...
Yes, you are correct. Except the gen-set is not currently set to charge 12v house bank. I am looking for opinions or options on a secondary means...
I'm looking for input on how folks charge their house battery banks. I have P&S 24v banks for engine starting and some hi amp systems like BT and...
OK here you go. Some boat porn for you :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Making decent progress. All removals now complete. This was more challenging than expected. We found lots of abandoned cables and wires. Without...
I went with the ZF Smart Command controls system. This is actually what CAT recommended and I ordered it thru CAT along with the engines and ZF...
Engines, gears and all DDEC system items sold. Thank you!
I ended up ordering the Bluewater Legend 750 watermaker and the Seastar DC steering system. I really appreciate all the input and advice. I’m...

I don’t know if this is applicable to your issue but on my 50amp shore connection I had lots of trouble with the wiring to the shore power...
I’m leaning heavily toward the Blue Water Legend 750. It’s really a toss up between this and a Spectre. The BW has a few more features but main...
I'm getting quotes on fully automatic units that do the pressure adjustment automatically. Turn on, turn off. That's it other than servicing...
Yes, I would need to do the same. Would hope to only have to get to the components for occasional maintenance.
OK that makes sense now. Thank you!
Lew - are your membranes outboard of the stbd fish box then? Doesn't seem like the Spectra membranes with the pump being integral to the membranes...
I hold 240 gals and have done 3-4 day trips and managed not to run out. So 750 gpd is more than adequate. I'm only looking at a larger unit so...
I found a local dealer that sells the Blue Water units. Will be paying them a visit soon. After further measuring I cannot fit the complete...
