I bought one of these for my 22 Angler, I got a bigger one because of the longer cockpit. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GZDTGLO/ It's huge. I got the 54" tall one because I have a couple tall friends, but I wish I got the 48" one. That said, it was on a "Like New" Amazon Warehouse deal...

Hey Tosca, What size snaps screws did you go with? Thanks. - tom

I am fully over my skis now. shore power -> Victron IP65 charger -> onboard batteries (which are connected to my outboard) Does my battery charger convert AC ground into the DC neg connected to my battery? Thanks all.

Hi Bob, I should have said NEMA 5-15P and NEMA 5-15R, common extension cord plugs. For some reason I was hung up on a battery charger constantly plugged in, used like a battery tender, would I need a GI for that, for a boat that is stored on the water. But looks like the answer is no. Thanks...

I got this from that UK company I posted: "I'm afraid that we don't do an isolator with NEMA connectors, as NEMAs aren't common over here, but you could easily remove the Euro connectors fitted and replace them with the NEMA types. The isolators are otherwise fine to use in the US, as they will...

Nope, no shore power. I just have two devices on the boat that can take AC power, a Victron IP65 battery charger, and an Ecoflow Delta Mini "solar generator". The only time I plug into shore power is from a GFCI extension cord to those two devices at my marina. So I'm trying to figure out how I...

Right, but I'd have to cut into an extension cord to get to the ground wire. Like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d35KxA8qmAc&t=252s What I was hoping for was something like this, but with NEMA plugs: https://galvanic-isolator.co.uk/product ... capacitor/ Seems like a couple...

Hi, Are there any easy galvanic isolator setups? Like something I can plug my shore power extension cord into, and then plug my battery charger into the GI? Everything I see looks like I have to splice an extension cord so the ground goes through the GI. Thanks. - tom

I originally found the Dakota lifepo4 dual starter on Will's diysolarforum.com. But doesn't sound like anyone has reviewed it. I got a Victron DC to DC charger 18A I'm going to install this weekend, so yeah, going down a more trusted route. Now if I only could find a way to fit my 12v 200ah in...

Charging profiles are what I am thinking about. My Honda BF100 has a 35A alternator but I have to decide between an 18A or 30A DC to DC charger (Victron 12V). I was hoping someone would come up with a hybrid that can be the gateway between being a starter and the rest if my Lifepo4 batteries...

Has anyone been considering getting one of these? https://dakotalithium.com/product/dakot ... y-1000cca/ "... Engineered with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology this battery has twice the power, half the weight, and lasts 4 times longer than a lead acid battery – providing exceptional...

Hi Nancy and Bud, While looking for times getting from the Des Moines Marina to Friday Harbor, I found this site with some rough time estimates. Seems pretty useful for rough guesses on times. https://nwcruising.net/nm_folders/friday.html - tom
