Hi,
I have a Xantrex Smart Charger that came with the boat. (TC20 or TC40 model
Installed in 2011 along with new "old school" non-sealed batteries).
It's definitely on the "very resonable" end of the price range for smart
chargers / batteries, honestly if I would have shopped for the setup I
wo
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I have to take a look at the intake valves
again.

Brian,

dinghy and I have not had to us
Almost forgot. Consider your battery bank AHr capacity. The max charger
current should be limited to about 25% of the smallest bank capacity. A
20amp charger would be a good fit for an 80AHr battery. This assumes a
flooded lead acid. 30% for gel and 40% for AGM.
You mentioned using a hygromet
Oh yeah, +1 on the ProMariner.
The PO replaced an old xantrex with a new one which died on him within a
year. I clamed the warranty on it after closing on the boat but was
disappointed when the new one died within a week. Warranty refunded and I
switched to a ProMariner and haven't heard a peep
What about solar? A lot of problems and liabilities come from being
attached to shore. You're just keeping the batteries topped up for the
next adventure right?
Every smart charger i have ever seen, (auto, marine, clamp on, or
permanent) works as follows:

Ray,
I think Tim nailed it. The sink goes below the waterline on starboard tack at
angles above 25-30 degrees. The sink fills with water and creates a nuisance.
I usually keep the thru hull closed, unless we’re using the sink regularly.

She's a beauty. Did you install the helm or did it come with the boat?

get her all prettied up.

Hello fellow CnCer's,
I have a mercury inflatable dingy. It has been a challenge ever since I
purchased it. Dealing with keeping it clean, managing it at the marina (no
dingy racks), repairs, etc. has not been fun. My current issue is a slow
leak in the forward seam. I have read about a sealer

You can't put a price on life experience and memories indeed. That's a big

Having a boat and sailing is better than the alternative. The cost is just
something that comes with it, so you either suck it up and go sailing and be
happy, or you live a miserable life on the muddy stuff.

um.. i dont recommend tracking expenses on boats.
if a spouse or significant other gets ahold of the list they could have you
"committed" and thats without taking into account indirect expenses
and even if you dont get "caught" then the tracking data will only make it
worse when you go to

Patrick — I’d stay away from non-marine battery chargers in the marine
environment; for both safety and longevity/reliability reasons.
Something like this would probably work fine for your size boat:

Investigating availability of "smart" or three step charger to install in
locker next to batteries, obviously concern is size for this type of
boat, or portable one. Must have auto shut-off. Any ideas? Battery guy says
most car type chargers only measure volts and shut off when reach the limit

Owning a boat really is something though. I whine about our short sailing
season and I'm often too busy to sail as much as I'de like but the bottom
line is that I know it's down at the club, on it's mooring, waiting.
There's always the potential and promise. If I sold the boat I would be
depressed.
Weighing in late here... yes a large sailboat is an insanely bad FINANCIAL
investment, but it's good for your soul.
I'm well over $200k into Bojangles (less than half of which is purchase
price) and I'd be lucky to get half that today.
For the last couple of years though, I've chartered her out s

would spend $40 on West System and $10 on food. Growing up I thought it was
totally normal to have a boat that cost
Inner Harbor East is very good if you haven't found something else. We used it
