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...

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.

Removed terminals, cleaned as best I could, checked that with ignition "on" I was getting voltage to the unit (12v or so) - same as on the port tach. Still no display for the hour meter. I guess time to replace. Thinking same unit best otherwise it wouldn't match to the port tach. Anyone...

Hi - I have been seeing random tach errors on my port engine. It will be at 3500 cruising then jump up to 6k, back down, then just wildly fluctuates. Engine is not changing rpm based on what I can hear. It has been going on for a year, but not too annoying as most of the time it works fine...

... don't generally need to sell assets at fire-sale prices. They usually have enough wealth to hold onto assets and wait until the value recovers. We saw this with housing as the impact as disproportionately on the lower/mid end of market. The wealthy areas did not fall as much because...

I believe IIRC that HF generator/inverter manuals want you to startup and run them every 90 days ( and run for 30 minute minimum). I left it for about 9 months without starting, and it started up albeit after a few tries. K

I ended up buying the HF 3500 inverter on sale. I have used it a couple of times for the home which was actually the primary need (fire season, mandatory shutdowns). I was "thinking" of using on the cd25 as well, but frankly I think it is just too heavy. So probably will be the HF 2000...

Staggering incompetence. Sure - this is an emergency situation but that is why all agencies are supposed to have contingency plans and be able to work business as close to normal as possible. Of course you can have technical difficulties, but there should have been tests/trials well before...

Ok - I did check the spark plugs and they look fine. Not wet at all, etc... Oil in dipstick looked fine as well - no water/milky anything. I did a compression test on all four cylinders and they were all about 125 so no differences. When I started the motor, my ir heat temp guage showed max up...

And will look more closely at the oil... thx

The pic and video are after cruising at about 4000 rpm (18kn) for about an hour. There is no temp gauge as far as I can tell on the boat but I assume a high temp warning at the ignition would light up or sound. I guess I can hit the head and block with an ir temp gauge and see if there is a...
