Stus-List Battery/Wiring Problem?

I had a suspicion of a power leak in my DC system so did some diagnostics yesterday. I have a solar panel running when not on the boat, so it has not been a high priority to solve (the batteries are always fully charged when I get to the boat), but I wanted to determine if it was real. I took

Re: Stus-List Battery/Wiring Problem?

David, The ACR does have a .1A draw, so that's to be expected. I too have a small drain whenever the battery switch is set to On. I'd love to trace the cause one day, but my solar panel puts so much in, that I tend not to worry about it. All the best, Edd --- Edd

Re: Stus-List Battery/Wiring Problem?

First, move the positive supply to the bilge pump to one of the input posts on the back of your battery switch. Nothing to do with your issue, just a good practice. Second, do you have a stereo? Could it be the memory pre-set retention supply? Yellow wire from stereo to battery. 100 milliamps

Re: Stus-List Overheating mystery

Steaming exhaust is more or less visible based on lighting, atmospheric temperature and humidity, and raw water inlet temperature. There is no particular guide as to when you may see it. While most engines have thermostats which control fresh water temperature, some engines also have thermostats

Re: Stus-List Battery/Wiring Problem?

It depends on how you look at it... 100 mA = 0.1 A. This means a 2.4 Ah draw for a day; almost 20 Ah for a week. Now it depends how often you charge the batteries (with solar, you do it constantly, so it does not matter, but if you were to charge with your motor, it does) and how big is your ba

Well, I finally got tired of fixing my engine every time I went out (or so it seemed), not to mention dealing with all the diesely rust under and around the thing. So I have gone for a brand new Yanmar 3YM30AE. It goes in this afternoon. It's pretty and shiny gray and I think I love it. However,

Stus-List Update to Dismasted Redwing 35

The saga is finished. The insurance company wrote a check for the hull value and left me with the boat. We have removed all of the items that we wanted to get off (Anderson Self Tailing Winches, Autopilot, Nav Instruments, Batteries, Electrical Panels (AC & DC), Radios, and Main Traveller.

Re: Stus-List Emission controls

When the CARB (California Air Resources Board) standards get applied to cars and motorcycles, it means more evaporative canisters on crankcase vents and intake systems to reduce VOC vapors into the atmosphere. Perhaps the same for marine diesels as well. One could say that it would make a diesel

Re: Stus-List Emission controls

At the last Seattle boat show I talked to an engine vendor. He said that because of the emission requirements in the U.S. (California) the new engines have less power than their European counterparts.  Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE DeviceDoug Mountjoy POYC Puget Sound Pegasus (for sale) Lf38 Re

Re: Stus-List Battery/Wiring Problem?

I think it's a 15mA draw when the ACR is open, not 100mA ... at least that's what the specs say. On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 7:16 AM, Edd Schillay via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > David, > > The ACR does have a .1A draw, so that's to be expected. I too have a small > drain whenever the

Re: Stus-List Update to Dismasted Redwing 35

Ron, So far, we have looked at a 1978 C&C 38 in Muskegon, Michigan. Nice, roomy boat. We have some concerns over the Yanmar engine. Don't know how many hours on it, it shows some surface corrosion on the belt guards that indicate that the boat has been in storage and a bit damp. Hull and

Stus-List stern light (bulb socket slipped out of fixture)

Ahoy!  I changed the bulb. Yay! However, the wire and socket and now-working bulb slipped out from the transom fixture and into the bilge (naturally!).  I fished it out the bulb and wire through the quarterberth. I cannot see a way to get to the inside of the transom.  Help!  Richard Walters/v I

Not sure about HP. but I've been told that the common rail engines are much quieter because the injectors do not pop. They are electronically controlled. I hope the repower goes smoothly! Joel On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 4:11 PM, Dennis C. via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > meets C

Re: Stus-List Battery/Wiring Problem?

Hi David, A 100 ma drain will kill a 100 AH battery in about a thousand hours. Yeah, I know it's a little more complicated than that, but it's a reasonable approximation. Three batteries, 3,000 hours. So It's not a very significant drain, but it might be worth tracking it down. I have a sim
