Oh wow,19.5 KWH for battery power. So you can run one Navy 3.0 outboard at 2 KW 9.6 hours, run two motors at 4 KW 4.8 hours. Going to need a-lot of roof space for solar panels to recharge it up in five hours for the next day. Even if you’re able to put 5000 watts of solar on the roof of a...

Yup it’s original to the boat. One large tank separated in the middle with an internal bulkhead. Each side is 25 gallons with separate fuel pickups, separate fuel fills, sending units, and a selector valve. I like the commercial workboat look too.

My boat has one large aluminum tank. It is separated in the middle by a bulkhead in the tank. It is 25 gallons per side. Love it and will replace it with the same tank if the time ever comes. I like the extra burn time with the metal tank if there was ever a fire onboard compaired to plastic...

How many E135 batteries are you planning to get to power the two Navy 3.0 outboards? (They are 8090 watts each)

Thanks for the post. (Following) Was wondering how your are coming up with numbers that compair a 12 foot aluminum boat (on the Navy spec. sheet) and the weight and windage of a C-dory 22? How are you going to get 40 miles out of two of these motors? My math shows your going to need at least 8...

I just bought the ECOFLOW River Pro 2 for my 22. It runs my two Engels, one a fridge, and one a freezer for 18 hrs. (12v) It weighs 16lbs. charges up off my Honda 2200 in one hour (850watts)! The outboard will trickel in at 101 watts of charging while underway. Picked it up on Amazon Prime Day...

Thanks for the recommendations from the seasoned ICW crowd! Downloading the app now. Looks pretty awesome. We plan putting in either at Jim King or Joe Carlucci Sisters Creek boat ramp. Sailing South 8 miles on the ICW to Palm Cove Marina (first night). Then heading back north to do the...

Planning a boat adventure to Jacksonville Fl. area, then up to Cumberland Island, Ga. in a couple of weeks. Looking for any marina recommendations and was wondering how secure the dockage at the Jacksonville Metropolitan Park Marina is?

Thanks for posting these water containers. I'm definitely going to be getting some of these to replace the ones I have now. Inexpensive, made in the USA too!

Oh boy here we go again! Ha Ha Twin pros: Awesome maneuverability at the dock, shallower draft with smaller lower units (on plane to), it costs me $90 dollars total for both outboard's maint., two engines have way more lower end torque than a single with less needed hp. than a single engine...

The USCG tests have been frozen since 1984. This is one reason why when someone gets up into the unlimited licenses, the exam rooms have Bowditch 2 published in 1984. Small boats and lighter tonnage licenses have no need for information in books like that anymore. Just ask Google but they don't...

Being a Professional Mariner too, I can feel his pain as I read his post. No need for Celestial Navigation anymore, we have satellites instead of stars now. Computers, smart phones, and the internet with ships so automated they cannot sail without. Pretty soon I will be able to do my job from...

This is really soft bunk carpet. https://cudapowersports.com/ Wanted to send the proper link. I redid my trailer with this 3 months ago. Not cheap, but it's thick, and is made for trailer bunks. Had great reviews, so far so good for my baby! Mark

I think the main problem that started the hull erosion is your bunk carpeting. Indoor/ outdoor carpeting the carpeting that is installed on your trailer bunks now will get as hard as 80 grit sand paper after being dinked in saltwater for years. So when your trailer is going down the bumpy roads...

Your gelcoat is wore down to the laminate layer. To do repair properly, it would take putting the boat on stands, get two quarts of gelcoat, MEK hardener, some wax additive, and green tint coloring for gelcoat. Mix up gelcoat with no wax. Roll out or brush 3 coats of unwaxed onto exposed areas...

Caution! There is a reason that C-Dory wired the batteries separate on the twin engines boats. You can not have two running outboards on one battery bank! This will fry both outboard's charging system. Only one out board per battery bank. Carry a set of jumper cables only in an emergency jump...

This is what I am using on my Stbd. engine. My boat is wired the same as yours. I just bought the Engle 27 freezer/ fridge, am testing this battery out with more draw. New engines charges put out 17 amps no problems so far. Interstate 27DC Marine / RV Battery (this battery has been in the boat...

If your fuel tanks have a sending unit for each tank. Then run a red wire from each tank sending unit all the way forward to the 3 way toggle switch. Wire one sending unit wire to the right side, the other to the left side, the gauge to the middle pole on the switch. Then connect your black...

The "stand on" vessel would be the vessel that is going "with the current" (down stream) and would have first choice on passing arrangements. The give way vessel going against the current, has better maneuverability, which is the "give way" vessel. Port to port is always preferred, in this case...

Thanks Bob on that recommendation. This post hit a nerve with me. I was thinking I could sell my boat tomorrow for $47,000! Considering what people are getting for boats that have the original engine on them. I was also thinking that my truck is insured with Progressive too. In the unlikely...
