Yes, it does not monitor alternator temperature, it it does allow you to set maximum charge current, which in turn will control max temperature. As far as price, the price is quoted in NZ dollars, this price is equivalent to US $350, This is cheaper than the price I found for the Wakespeed. As...

When I re-powered, then new engine was narrower that the old I had to place two steel angle beams by bolting them to the inside of the stringers. All the holes drilled produced dry wood. I also had to re-cut the top of the stringers due to using a transmission with a downward angle on the output...

Here is an interesting option to those that have re-powered with engines that use the mitsublshi 120A alternators, The nice thing about this product is that it allows external charging without the need to modify the alternator...

Mark, here is a rough sketch of what a LiFePo house bank would look like. Yes I drew in 6v agm's instead of the 200 Ah LiFePo batteries but you get the idea. I am not sure if the combination of a battery charger feeding a DC/DC converter would work, some consulting with the manufacturer might be...

After further examination the changeover to LiFePo house bank would also require re routing the alternator output to the starting bank. I would leave the solar hooked up to the house bank.

Mark, Mark, here is the electrical system on Siboney. I am using AGM bbatteries because at the time I needed the batteries the new tech was still too pricey. To change over to LiFePo batteries, the VSR/breaker combination would be replaced by the DC/DC converter and the battery charger would be...

Mark, yes you got it right. It is not a good idea to connect banks of different capacities and internal resistance characteristics. If you have a large bank trying to charge a smaller one with a shorted cell, very bad things can happen. I use a 1/2/both switch to select which bank starts the...

The path of least cost is to leave your stock alternator and starting battery in stock configuration. Add a 40 or 60 amp DC/DC converter to charge the LiFePo battery bank. I would not put the A/B switch in the system, ( in the BOTH) position you are asking for trouble). Wire your solar panels...

I am partial to Garmin. But a lot depends on the rest of the electronics, Ray Marine is not compatible with the industry standard NMea2000 so an expensive converter is necessary.

Here is my solution to the Arch/Davit/Engine Hoist/Stern Ladder .

Having a secondary bilge pump and switch along with a high water alarm is considered prudent practice. Put a switch on the alarm so it can be turned off.

I also found this other source, even though they are from UK, their prices are reasonable and the shipping was not too bad(pre pandemic) https://www.parts4engines.com/perkins-4-108-stainless-steel-exhaust-outlet-elbow/

Mind like a steel trap... check out this place http://www.mesamarine.com/

I remember an outfit out of Alabama that sold stainless steel exhaust elbow for the Perkins. This was a long while back but you might search on google.

Mitchell, I sent you the payment for the wrench via paypal , can you confirm receipt and advise on a ship date. Best Regards. Jose

I am afraid your Yard might be right. The ladders you mentions will not work. I had to bite the bullet and have one custom made out of 1"aluminum tubing. In order for the ladder to be easy to get on, it must extend at least 3 ft below the waterline when deployed. You cost estimates are off by an...

Hi guys, is it too late to get in no the wrench order? If not count me in!

Running with a 2:1 gear and a 17x10 three bladed Michigan Wheel prop, my boat reaches 6 knts at 1800 RPM. ( volvo d2-40). If I had it to do again, I would go with the BETA 38.

Tony, Electrical problems are hard to diagnose remotely. But based on your description I would propose hat you have a grounding issue. If I remember correctly, the three wires going to the connector on the back of the alternator are +12v, ground and the alternator field signal. The field signal...

Warren, what model engine do you have? How long have you had it?
