I finally had a chance to put that whole new system to the test recently. I went on 2 different trips, first one was 5 days and I was exploring a new area for shrimp pots, so I get to use my line hauler and anchor windlass several times, both of which are connected to the house bank and worked...

I need to replace my anchor rode. I find a good deal on a spool of 8 plait 5/8” but I can’t find any reviews on this brand, at least not as an anchor rode. I find this at a place that does commercial fishing, mostly set net, drift net. Brand is CCI/General Work Product Any one in here knows...

I used my 2014 Chevy 2500HD with a 6.0 gas engine once to pull my tomcat. It did great, no big hill though but I’m sure it will have been fine. Like Bob said, fuel economy was not great.

I’m looking for recommendation on a good place to order lettering. While I’m on that subject, I will be renaming my new to me boat, and will certainly ask Poseidon for his blessing. But now I’m wondering about the C-Brats, my user name is the name of my previous boat and I believe the new...

I rarely use the floor board on my 22, I kept a small rubber carpet by the cabin door in the cockpit since that is where the water will pool up, that work just fine for me. Main raison for me was weight saving and easier to keep clean.

I did remove the water tank on my 22, and it was nice to claim all that space for storage. I added a manual water pump (Whale GP0650) and a 5 gallon water jug under the sink strap to the shelf. I usually carried a spare so I had a good bit of time to refill the empty one. I removed the wash down...

I did a bit of testing on the Guest charger, hooking up Both 5 amps double the charge to my battery. I was getting about 3.5 amps out of a single output wire and 7 amps once connect together. My battery was full but getting drain through the dc/dc charger, I might get a higher charge if battery...

When I install the autopilot on my CD22, I opted to not install the shadow drive. The Garmin autopilot has very good review but the shadow drive, not so much. I mostly use my autopilot for longer run and try to break up sharp turn into a few smaller turn when following a route, that is mostly to...

Thanks Bob, I do have a multimeter and will monitor at some point, but as of now, my start batteries were just topped off with a smart charger before putting them back in the boat. I probably won’t get a full 10 amps regardless.

Yes, you are correct, the manual has the more standard 3 bank set up and this one for a single 12 volt bank and 2 X 12 volt in series for a 24 volt system. And as I said earlier, no connecting the 10 amps with the 5, but no mention of connecting both 5 together, like what you are doing in your...

Thanks Colby, that’s what I was looking for. From the online owner manual, it mention not to connect #3 with 1 or 2 but no mention of connecting 1 and 2 together., but that’s kinda what the picture shows.

No heater on the batteries but yes on the low/high temps disconnect. the dc-dc charger will lower the output if it's getting too hot but does not monitor the batteries temperature. Is that what you’re asking?

Thanks, I’ll look into this. There is 2 set of indicator light so you might be right about the charger putting out 10 amps if only one of the 5 is use. Edit: A quick search show that I might be able to use the two 5 amps together for a 10 amps charge profile. but not the 10 with either of the...

Thanks Bob, I moved all my batteries and related switches and load protection inside the cabinets, that required retiring my flooded start batteries, my house bank was 2 AGM group 31 that I’m now using for my start. I needed to purchase 2 new batteries for the house bank and I got 2 LiTime 100 A...
