I'm in agreement now that I've thought about it and heard you guys. Can't think of a rason for both, either. And yes, I will test my switch - good idea. ...

If you are going to switch your switch when the engine is running, be sure it is one equipped with "AFD", Alternator Field Disconnect. Otherwise that popping...
My habit is to start the engine on 'Both', and charge both while steaming out of the harbor. Kill the engine when the sails are up, and switch to #1. That...

Hi Leonard, The only C-45's that would have come from the factory with hydraulic steering would have been if it was ordered new with an inside steering...

Jim, Load dump is real and it is a matter if residual inductance. When an alternator is supplying a lot of current, there are large magnetic fields in both the...
Well; there a trade-off. If you are diligent and gallant in your daily habits - no problem. But if you stop overnight, then sleep late, swim in the late...

We bought this boat a couple of years ago in Annapolis area (no trailer) and don't want to pay winter storage fees too much longer! Anyone know a good source...
Hi, Alan. Running a refrigerator overnight will use about 60 AH. Lights, radios, anchor alarm, etc. probably another 20 or thereabouts. If your house bank...
Paul, Excellent point! Starter batteries and deep cycle batteries are different designs. Bruce K Challenger #74, "Ouroboros" Los Lunas, NM > ... [Non-text...
Jim, Your calculations obviously depend on the boat and how it is set up. I use all LEd lights that when all are on use about 2 amp hours. My Engle portable...

You should buy a bilge pump according to the size of your boat and the GPH (Gallons per hour) that it pumps. The larger the boat, the more GPH. Connect it to...
