Thanks everyone, I got my charger mounted, my new batteries in and hooked up. I put it under the sink on the aft side of the bulkhead right behind the helms seat. It seemed a little sturdier to mount it there and in more unusable space just inside the sink drain. I also mounted a 15 amp recessed...

I'm sure we all know that most 'upgrades' are pretty hard on the wallet. I thought it would be nice to share some more cost effective things we've done that have made a difference in our boats. I'll start. I recently removed the bolts holding the cabin top handrails and replaced them with eye...

I meant to update this back in August. Thanks for the help. I got this printed at a local trophy shop for $8

Printed at local trophy shop for $8

Hey Bob, Thanks for the pictures, they are truly worth a thousand words. I see what you did there, recessed male plug to breaker, then to receptacle for charger and to other receptacles? I like it. I really like the red interior lights. Thats my ultimate goal, to install a fixture or two...

Down the rabbit hole. It's funny how a weak battery that wouldn't start my Wallas lead to two AGM group 27's (from 24), an onboard charger, and now I'm looking at putting in a 30a shore power receptacle, 120v panel and an extra outlet, heck, may as well add an inverter as well, already have...

Thanks for the replies. So I think I'm going with this Prosport 20. https://www.amazon.com/ProMariner-43012 ... arger&th=1 Also will upgrade to 27's as I do plan to put in fans. Can I get a group 24 for the starting and group 27 for house? The next question is the best mounting place? I was...

Thanks David. I've been looking at 10a mounted chargers. Mastervolt makes one but I can't find one online, their easy charge would work. https://www.mastervolt.com/products/eas ... harge-10a/ What about something like this Morinco? https://www.hodgesmarine.com/Marinco-10 ... c28210.htm

I thought I was done with batteries and chargers yesterday. Long story short, our travel trailers group 24 wouldn't charge over 13.3v and discharged very quickly. Come to find out the converter installed by the factory only charges to 13.3v and after almost two years of that the battery was...

I got a quote awhile back for changing my solid glass out to one with a screen. It was about $1,000. Here was my contact. Eddie Weber Account Manager AdvanTec Global Innovations Desk +1.778.726.0155 Office +1.604.607.0091 ext 3906 Fax +1.604.607.0092

Finished up with the cockpit repair yesterday. All in all it was a pretty quick and easy fix just working about 4 mornings while the kids where in school. It could probably be done in a long day if you didn't have to wait for epoxy to cure. Thanks for the help here, now on to the lazarette...

Yea, before and after pics!!

Thanks Bob, I'll do that. Capt Meares, good points. I drilled the holes all the way through to the outer fiberglass skin. If by mid week after the dehumidifier has been running and intermittent blow drying I still find moisture I'll just cut the top skin off and tackle it that way. Ultimately...

Great Pic!

Thanks Steve, that looks great. There's a trophy shop down the road I'll check out. I tried to remove mine but the screw for the handle was stripped also. Like you said, different metals. I was thinking of trying to drill it out but just cutting off the stem works too. I just put new hoses on it...

Good idea, thanks. I've also considered just painting on my own decal. My registration numbers and name is painted on too so wouldn't be a stretch. I like the color coding with the washer.

OK I'm done for the day. You can sort of see the outline of the wet core from the screw holes. The outermost holes were dry. I think I have so many holes drilled that I don't need to take the skin off. I filled the dry holes and I think I'll just re-screw the hardware down into the center of the...
