    anchor roller selection

    Thanks, I didn't even know what that was. All hardware has been removed from the deck now and all holes filled in so I'm starting from scratch. Is that chain stopper necessary to hold the anchor when running or trailering? Can the tension provided by the windlass serve the same purpose, or...

    Consider purchasing outdated Garmin MFD display

    Correct. And if you want the newer charts you can buy them and swap them out and still save $700 (at least spring 2023 prices) over buying one with the newer maps already loaded.

    Who knew Garmin MFD displays could do this?

    I’ve learned a lot about Garmin displays recently and thought I would share the fruits of my research. I’m dividing this into two posts – “Consider buying an outdated Garmin MFD display” and “Who knew Garmin MFD displays could do this?” This is the second of the two posts. Because I’m starting...

    How much chain and rode for Salish Sea?

    I'm just now outfitting my stripped to the hull 22' Cruiser and wondering how much chain and rode I should buy. I have a Lewmar H700 windlass and will be following the Lewmar recommendations for rode and chain diameter/size, but I don't know how much of each I should buy. The boat will be used...

    anchor roller selection

    I'd like advice on what sort of anchor roller/retrieval system I should use on my 22' Cruiser. This is a restoration project starting from a bare hull so I can basically do anything I want at this point. I've purchased a Rocna 13# anchor and Lewmar H700 windlass. What do you suggest for an...

    deck pipe hole

    After some distractions I’m back at work restoring my 22 Cruiser. I’m currently in the process of mounting a Lewmar H700 windlass. Prior to this I’ve replaced a section of the deck that was damaged when the anchor roller was ripped off. When doing that work I decided to delete the deck pipe hole...

    Solar Panel Basics

    Be careful when considering the purchase of flexible panels. This video is five years old, but is well worth watching to the end. Also, you can click on his profile to see all his videos and then search for "flexible" to see some more recent tests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onMZ_dRSFUs&t=205s

    1st use of composting toilet. Not sure I'll keep it.

    This is a new product so no history yet, but small size and not so spendy as some of the others. https://compocloset.com

    1st use of composting toilet. Not sure I'll keep it.

    The van life phenomenon has created a huge market for portable toilets and lots of subsequent reviews. This guy does a very good job of comparing what’s out there for boondockers, both of composting and non-composting toilets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l88ylbUSqbE

    1st use of composting toilet. Not sure I'll keep it.

    I think C-Head may be out of business. I can't find any dealers who offer it for sale and their website is gone. Posts on other forums indicate that there has been no response from C-Head over the past year, including a post from one fellow who ordered and paid for a C-Head a year ago and never...

    1st use of composting toilet. Not sure I'll keep it.

    Dear Dr. Poop, Do you have a recommendation for a simple composting toilet that's suitable for a 22 Cruiser? I want to avoid "nasty stick". Thank you.

    No way to turn power to motor off but not house?

    My understanding from another thread is that you're replacing an ACR with a DC-DC converter that charges a Li house battery. The simple solution for what you want to do is to replace that battery combiner switch with a simple On/Off battery switch. Start battery goes on one side and the unfused...

    isolated vs. non isolated DC to DC charger

    They fit right in with no conflict. The minus output of the charger and the minus input of the inverter both go to DC ground. My Renogy inverter also has an equipment grounding lug which also goes to DC ground. Renogy is confused about this though because they provide a tiny lug for equipment...

    isolated vs. non isolated DC to DC charger

    DC system ground and AC safety ground should always be connected. Here's a hypothetical scenario that illustrates why... Suppose these grounds are not connected and you're running a roof mounted air conditioner off of 120VAC and a hot wire makes contact with the metal housing of a ceiling light...
