Hi Edd- The one I have is not thin enough to open the hatch (probably a bit
more than an inch thick). That would be nice, and I am going to think about
something thin or lighter if/when I have to replace the panel. But it is not a
big deal, taking it below when I come to the boat and putting i

The 2 windows I replaced about 7 years ago with Sikka Flex and their primer

Acrylic (Plexiglass) cracks easily, but is harder and more scratch resistant
than polycarbonate (Lexan). Stock car racers use polycarbonate for windshields
in their short track race cars. It is the more crack and impact resistant of
the two plastics, but more likely to cloud if you are too aggr
Plexiglass is very prone to developing cracks from any minor
imperfections or irregularities in the edges. If you carefully polish
and buff the edges completely smooth, cracks don't have a way to start
themselves.

I was advised, by a professional, to use a propane torch to finish the edges.
It makes sense but I would have to practice a bit on scrap before I tried it on

Professionals sometimes do things because they are faster and more
efficient, not because they are better. They also get a lot more
practice! I have finished edges with a torch, and found it leaves you
with uneven thickness along the edge, which may affect sealing on
something such as a window.
I asked ProMariner for some clarification on the battery situation with 2 house
connected in parallel as one bank and a separate start as a second bank. I also
asked if there was any issue with using smaller than Group 24 batteries with
the charger. For example, the OP has a Group 22NF. Another
Interesting discussion. My acrylic place has advised against doing ANY edge
finishing of properly-cut cast acrylic, as that will increase the possibility
of edge crazing or cracking.

Golf cart 6V batteries should still be okay, as long as they’re connected in
series pairs to get the voltage up to 12V.

Watched a demonstration yesterday at a local flea market where they welded
aluminum using a handheld propane torch.
Looked pretty easy and the results were a very strong bond.

No golf cart 6V would not be ok. Amp-hour rating would be far too high. Plus
the charger can’t do 6v and can’t ‘bridge’ across 2 batteries either in series
or in parallel.
I think the key here is that each leg is limited in what it can handle
capacity-wise. So a typical Group 31 12V flooded wou
6v would be fine in series but from what I can tell from the manufacturer's
written and verbal guidance, the charger is limited to a certain maximum
battery size (group 31)... I assume Amp-hr limit. A group 31 is about 105
AH. So if you are using two 6v @ 105 AH batteries then it seems you would
Looks good to me I have had two aluminum related failures; one was a hatch

welding; so I ordered one of these kits. Thanks for the head up!

Years ago, an old timer taught me how to weld aluminum with an
oxy-acetelyne torch. It was not that easy. You first used a yellow
acetylene only flame to apply a layer of soot to the aluminum. Then you
readjusted the flame to normal by adding oxygen. The problem with
welding or brazing aluminum
No. It won’t work. It will not charge two batteries in a bank either in series
or in parallel by spanning across the batteries. It will only work with each
leg of the charger attached to a single battery. That is very specifically
identified multiple times in the literature.

sandpaper to it. There is some pitting on the shaft that rides in the
bearing. Attached is a link to my blog that has a pic. Is this an issue? Do
I need to replace the shaft or have these pits filled?

Peter — please remember that six-volt and twelve-volt batteries are made from
1.5-volt cells; the only difference is the number of cells wired in series to
make up the battery. Two six-volt batteries wired in series are functionally
equivalent to a twelve-volt battery.
I can understand if that

Fred is correct. I charge two golf cart batteries and one group 24 starting

Works fine. A smaller charger just means more time to achieve a full charge,
which is fine with me because I only use it on trips when I want
A propane torch works, relievs many machining defects that act a

your post aligns with my understanding with a slight correction. The individual
cells are ~2 volts in series (6 X 2 volts = 12 volts) . On some of the older

Easy Peter, my response must have gotten stuck in the outbox. I actually
wrote it prior to both your responses. I was not trying to contradict
you. In fact I think you and I are kinda saying similar things. First, to

You’re absolutely right — I stand corrected. Although it’s a little higher,
around 2.1V, going a fully-charged 12-volt battery at rest a voltage of 12.6V.
