I just added pics of LED illumination of CD 25 to my album as discussed previously in this thread. I put the anchor light on too. Note, there are no other light bulbs visible when this extra lighting is on. The boat just becomes more visible and the cockpit and decks are illuminated for working...

Yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f78OG7iBF4Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4qGZK27MCQ Have Fun, Bob

All valid questions but we have had no problems that aren't easily manageable. We RARELY use them underway , as I stated, and only where there is so much ambient light ( that my running lights might be so small that they visually disappear against the background), and only at idle speeds in...

Yes, they are pure white, not colored or warm white and they don't blink. We primarily use them only during the evening until everybody is anchored and settled in for the night, when slowly motoring to the watch the Christmas boat parade or Fireworks etc. but there have been a few nights when...

Your issue of being highly visible was my concern too. I ended up going on Ebay and buying a 16' led strip with a peel and stick backing on it. I built a box with 2 on off switches and mounted it at the roofline on the port side over the dinette. I drilled 1 hole thru the cabinside high enough...

Another thought just came to my old brain. Many GPS units both read system voltage and have a low voltage alarm somewhere in the menu. If you have one, set it when you set the anchor alarm.

I suggest you get a digital voltage meter (free from harbor freight with coupon) and check the battery voltage every couple of hours. You might be doing just fine. If it's 12v or better it will easily start a good normal starting engine. If it gets low, start the engine for a while and recharge...

Hi Foggy, FWIW on my former twin engined trawler we ran the charging wire from 1 engine to the starting bank and the other one to the house bank. It worked fine as long as you don't have them combined. I don't know why that wouldn't work on your outboards.

We use 2 Group 29 deep cycles for 1 bank (house and start) and have a Honda 2000 (will charge battery bank in case of emergency) and a smart charger and have a digital volt meter at the helm to keep track of the charge level. I have a special cord to plug into the generator and run under the...

Hi John, To put the microwave under the right side of the counter we built 3 shelves and the oven sits on the top one while the lower 2 each have a covered plastic tote for kitchen stuff. We removed the 115v outlet box from it's useless position behind the driver's seat and rerouted the wire to...

Hello, We removed the alcohol stove and filled in the hole and resurfaced the counter top. We use a portable single burner induction top which lives under the rear dinette seat on top of the water heater much like Dr. Bob. We learned years ago the you have to recharge batteries each day (when...

I had my CD 25 surveyed last August by Robert Noyce 410-703-5380. I am a retired yacht broker from Annapolis and have known and worked with him for 20 years. He has done thousands of surveys and supervised many custom builds. PM me if you want more info. Good luck, Bob - "Alexander" Stuart, Fl.

Thanks, I have my pump up 1 gal garden sprayer all set to spray brakes as soon as they come out of the water, only thing missing is the trailer.

Thank you guys. I appreciate the info. Baltimore dealer is not good because of cost to go get it or to pay for delivery. Bob, thanks again , as usual. I was also concerned about being too close on weight but considering the price, I thought I could just move the "portable load" to the car...

Any Brats have a Sea Tech trailer out of Miami? I've got several quotes on a new aluminum trailer and they are the lowest, and nobody else is close. They are quoting just under $4500 on a 7500# tandem with 4 wheel Kodiak ss disc brakes, elec over hydraulic, led lights, all stainless hardware...
