That is the marina where I sailed from 2001 thru June of last year. Is a shame
since the LF38 would be great in the Northumberland Strait. John previously
had a C&C35 III which he did have hauled and launched there for several seasons

Looking at the wiring diagrams reminded me of a question I am sure this list
can answer. I have not done much cruising yet, but plan to do more in the
future. One of the things I am unsure of is how people monitor the state of
their batteries when you know shore power is not going to be availa

I have a Link 2000 battery monitor on the Enterprise. Highly recommend it.

Listers,
So now I have another stupid question.
If the echo charger senses voltage over 13 and then transfers some of
that charge to the other battery, why bother taking the alternator output to
the house bank? If I leave the starter and alternator on the starting battery,
wou
The echo has a max output current (IIRC 20A) and can be programmed for
lower currents and different chemistries.
The high output of the alternator would quickly exceed the safe charge rate
of the starting battery. Flooded should charge at no greater than 25% of
capacity. Gel ~30%. AGM ~ 40%.

If you were using an ACR then there would be no good reason (that I can
see). But an ACR doesn't have the ability to control charge current or
mixed chemistry batteries.

Edd — the EchoCharge is a one-way device; it will only pass charge current from
the House bank to the Start battery, not the other way around. Best practice
suggests sending ALL your charge sources to the larger House bank, then
siphoning some of that off for the minimal charging requirements o

What you are looking for is an amp-hour meter. Discharging a flooded deep
cycle battery rated at 100 Ahrs below 50% should be avoided. This roughly
equates to 50 Ahrs of use. 5amp for 10hours or 50 amps for 1 houryou
get the jist. Discharging a flooded deep cycle below 50% will decrease its

I just installed a battery monitor made by victron. Haven’t really played with
it yet but it does all of the things you are asking about and is easier to
install than the Link monitor. Good article here

Wow! That is a serious penalty. It is three to six around here. Three if in an
aperture and six if out in the open.
Andthe Flex-o-fold is a geared prop so the blades open together and close
together. I have not heard of any of them not opening, unless they have been
sitting around so long t
Where I race, it is not a penalty to have a folder/featherer, the base
rating assumes that you have this.
A credit is granted from 3-12 seconds for a solid prop based on type of
prop and mounting.
Having raced with both a solid prop and a folder on the same boat, I can
tell you that the "penalty"
Josh,
Thanks for the info on using voltage to gauge battery level.
With my tiny bank and very limited loads it does not make sense to
be wiring in a monitor or Balmar Smart Gauge (to the tune of $360
cdn). But I was thinking about adding a voltmeter so I could
BTW - MaineSail's site was posted with his discussion on battery

his newer article (which is linked in that original one) suggests
that a Balmar Smart Gauge us a better option.

Hi Mark
Two concerns with that meter - it isn't likely sealed, and it does not
mention how much current it draws while on. The first you could address
by buying a couple of them for spares, and I'd wire it up in line with a
"momentary on" switch so you only have it powered when you press the

then I just discovered after downloading the 464 page manual that it doesn’t

apps, it is either the RayRemote or RayView – they don’t want you us
Yep a volt meter like that could work. I have a tank sensor from
tankedge.com that has battery voltage monitor and adjustable low voltage
alarm. That's at the nav station. On deck, my GPS/chartploter monitors
voltage and also has an adjustable alarm.
You might try one of these before doing some
You can get a good buy on ebay. Lots to choose from. I purchased a Raymarine

On Imzadi I have a Blue Seas digital voltage meter that I installed several
years ago. It will monitor three battery banks, is very accurate, and I am
happy with it. Knowing the voltage gave me a rough idea of the state of
charge of each bank.
But a couple of years ago I helped move a "real" cr

if the prop wasn't opening or as if only 1 of the 2 blades was unfolding.
I'd put it in reverse (during which there was never any of the vibration)

Start by making sure the lever is traveling all the way by disconnecting
the cable and comparing the position of the lever once detached.
