I wonder if what I was thinking is not actually how the panel works after looking at some of the brief guides: -Switch the Emergency parallel switch to on. Turn off once engine is started. Note: When starting the engine with the emergency parallel, the house loads will not be protected from...

My only comment is why not get a battery for each outboard? What I have found is that the house battery in your setup hardly (if ever) gets used to "start" - so the house battery "seems" fine but can't handle the cca needed for a motor start. Unless you are disciplined enough to test the house...

I looked at mounts but really want to keep this low on the roof. Anyone try using something like Azek (a PVC based material but supposedly weather resistant as it is used for exterior trim?) to form a base? I am a bit worried after looking at the boat yesterday while out fishing that there is...

Great! Are you re-using your current radar mount? I am probably going to just use a wedge as I want to get as much under bridge clearance as possible as I boat a lot in the delta.

Upside down it appears. Shows how much they care. :) Curious- why do people use separate fuse blocks with panels that already have breakers or fuses? I can see if a breaker panel then may be you want a fast acting fuse (non-mechanical) - but otherwise why don't people just use panels with...

I wonder if this might be a quick alternative. 3 toggles with 5A fuses each. https://www.rehberl.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=26867

It seems like simplest way would be a toggle switch as you show and simply wire it to a new fuse box (since my 12 fuse box is full). That way I keep the cig lighter ( I have another next to it as well), and have fuse space for the future. Can I simply wire the new fusebox in parallel to the...

Hi all - I am looking at putting in a radar (1st Watch Wireless) and am trying to figure out how to add a switch so that I can turn it "on/off" from the panel at the steering area. SPST I suppose. The front "rocker" switches next to the steering column are full, and so is the fusebox (12...

Electrical - fuse and back panel

Twin hp90 (bf90a, carb) on c-dory 25. Starboard started right up. Port - "click click click" very rapid and loud. I figure solenoid or starter. Switch the emergency "parallel" on and started right up,. Battery is old - no punch out on the battery (new to me boat), but highest year was 2014...

Red pill or Blue pill. :)

So what would be your response to a conservative voter in my state of Washington? Push for splitting the electoral vote of your state by popular vote. Sure, it won't be quite perfectly exact as I don't think you can do fractional electors, but it is close enough. And, again, way easier to do...

... conversations. Again, there is a way to change the constitution. Hard though. It is not an issue of Republican or Democrat as the tables could turn (California, as an example, used to be a consistent Republican vote back in Reagan era and earlier for two decades). It is simply about...

Can't see how to delete this post or move it... Sorry. K

If you don't like the electoral college then simply change the constitution. There is a process for that and it has been done. If I were a small state, I would not agree (and states need to agree - 3/4 IIRC) since it would limit their influence. I also don't see it as of any benefit as then...

I mean the mess of "politicizing the virus" will be over. Not that the virus will disappear. I did not make that clear. Certainly, even in the 1918 pandemic, there were various outbreaks over the next 2-3 years (and some claim longer). Either way, the point is a decision will be made...

By both sides and it is far more nuanced. The fact is, if BOTH U.S. political parties actually cared they would note that for the US, obesity itself is a high correlation to covid susceptibility ( mortality). We should as well encourage Vitamin D, etc... We don't live a healthy lifestyle - that...

I have a CD25 with twin honda 90hp. BF90A. Here is a snapshot out of water from a while back: Does this look too low by an inch or so? I guess I need to get out and check. I believe the prop is 13.25x17. I always put the motors full down from the helm control and use the trim tabs to...

Replaced the starboard tach and hour meter is working fine now. I had checked all the connections, etc.. and the old one was still "blank". So I think the culprit was indeed the tach unit itself. Thanks everyone.
