My boat has one large aluminum fuel tank separated by a center bulkhead. Each side holds 27 gallons for a total of 54 gallons. I run twin BF40 Hondas. I got lucky, this boat had a large fuel tank. Planning on a Bahama trip, this will be useful.

This is the canoe my Dad built. It’s was built in 1995. Has been restored 4 times 😅. I added an outrigger, lee board, and lug sailing rig for it.

Thanks for this idea. I'm definitely doing this when I get Starlink for the boat. I'm collecting to much stuff on my roof.

Very nice! My Dad made a living building srip canoes in the 90's. I have one of the last of his boats made out of red wood 1" strips. It's a little over 16ft weight is 60 lbs.. love that canoe! It is to long and narrow for the C-Dory. I was going to use it as a trial dinghy but was concerned how...

Starlink Mini Car Mount With Suction Cup For Sunroof, Car Window, RV Skylight This might be an idea for the fwd v-birth hatch.

I have been thinking about a dinghy for my boat. But after looking around for a commercially built dinghy under 50 lbs, found that I may have to build it. So I ordered the PDF files from Chesapeake Light Craft to build the Ultralight 6 ft. Dinghy. This is how far along on the build. Hopefully I...

Message me anytime. My system works because the Engels are so efficient @ 1.5 ah each. (19 watts). My solar panel capacity is on the light end for this set up. If you up graded the efficiency of the freezers, it would save the effort of recharging your batteries so often. Maybe add more panels...

I use EcoFlow brand solar generator batteries. I like how the charge rate can be regulated using the phone app. I use the River 2 Pro and the Delta 2. Both have a combined battery capacity of 1.7 kwh. I have a Calsun 100watt 16bb solar panel and two BH40 outboards that charge each bank at...

Great idea! Super low power consumption too. Our HVAC system in the house uses low speed dehumidification technology with air condition too. We actually set our house at 82 degs. in the summer in Aug. Humidity is 30%. Temps feel like 76 degs. Pretty awsome, so I can see how this would work in...

Our boat is a 1998. It came with the Dri-Deck tiles. I used them for 5 years. Feet were still getting wet out side the door. Plus the deck was unlevel for things like water buckets, grill, boiling water outside in the cockpit, chairs, the list goes on for me. I didn’t want to add more weight...

We have an air conditioner. This is what I did. It is a 100w panel. I mounted it to the bolts that hold down the AC cover. I made the Z clips from aluminum angle and bolts. I was able to get a 1” gap for air flow. Working great.

Hey Dale! I remember Endeavor. Sorry for the loss. Answers to your questions. The EU2200 has the built in fuel shut off so it lets the generator run on this selection. My plan is to run the generator empty with no fuel in the built in tank. It makes it a little lighter to remove the generator...

I finally did it. I figured out how to add an external fuel line to my Honda EU2200 Generator. It uses the factory internal fuel tank shutoff as a selector valve to the external fuel line. Since this generator has an internal fuel pump, it will pull from the boats main fuel tanks now.

This shows how to add an external fuel line without using the main fuel tank cap.

This is the hose to cut / splice the Y barb fitting into. For attaching the external fuel line hose.

To run the on the external fuel source. Turn of the internal fuel tank.
