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...
Also, if you're just converting the iron to 24v at this time, You don't need a panel. You just bridge through your existing disconnect battery...
Well, the starter and alternators can come from a source like DieselPro, shipped to you for around $1500 per engine. You can do better if you...
....if you find you are ready to convert the house DC panel, you simply feed the panel with the 24v rather than the 32v...the breakers don't care....
BTW, all of your wiring for systems outside the ER is run through common chases outboard of your rear guest staterooms. You'll find AC and DC...
List anything that "must" remain 32v. Consider replacement of any vintage 32v with new 24v. Use a temp DC panel to handle the conversion,...
We installed both a refrigerator and a freezer in the transom fish boxes of our 1964 65 Sparkman version. It was a really nice feature if the...
Your battery project...this might be a good time to transition to 24v from 32v. You can swap the starters, alternators, and shut down switches on...
If I'm correct, she was originally 72 feet. The Burger cockpit also has historically had a radius transition at the cap plane changes. The...
Lol, we just had a similar conversation aboard...a house needs a breaker reset. A boat needs an engineer.
Those narrow canals....bump her in and out of gear. Try to drift forward more than you push her. The prop wash will pull the moored boats to...
Congrats. Great find!
