After you connect the DC cables of the charger to the batteries, the battery chemistry selection LED will illuminate (Safe Mode). At this point, you can toggle thru the different battery chemistry selections by pressing the pushbutton on the membrane panel for each specific output. Once AC is...

I don't know your system but with most other chargers I've used the monitoring system usually works off the AC side, so what I would try is plugging it in to the same extention cord that worked with the short leads.

Likely what Mike said. My 87 had some dark spot areas much like you describe, that I think were just dried in grime of some sort that probably got waxed over many times over the years. The built up wax can be difficult to dissolve. I used regular wax cutting household cleaner and a stiff...

Saw this 16 listing on Craigslist and that there are currently no 16 listings on the site. No affiliation. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/boa/1546349139.html

At the lower left of the home page is a link to the factory site. The specs on the two boats list the hulls as 1650 and 1700, 50 lbs diff. They have the same tanks and very similar power options, trailer weight would be similar and your gear and crew the same, so you are correct that it's...

So the little Vector plug in volt meter came in the mail today. Didn't want to uncover the boat and all so I plugged it in the F250 06 6.0 diesel. Battery reading was 12.5v. Lit the glow plugs and cranking the meter came down to 9.3v. After starting, the meter raised steadily to 14.4v over...

Better yet, I don't think you want to see a voltage drop greater than 3% from output to business end. In measuring drop, it would be important to know what the charger is putting out initially if it has a scaling trickle feature.

The rule is generally that bigger is always better (as far as electrical wire at least) but your current wire will likely be ok, just not as fast of charge as a larger gauge would provide. I think what I would attempt to do is measure the voltage output of the charger at the battery end of the...

I have a pair of SS on my trailer. So does a friend. Easy to use, very easy to synch down tight and release with one lever. Unfortunately only been on for about 6 months so I can't speak to durability. West Marine carries them, sometimes on sale, but very expensive anyway. I think mine were...

Who knows how much accuracy to expect out of a 7 buck item, but I think I'm going to try one of these as a simple monitor of at least the relative condition of the house bank. Too simple to work I suppose. Chris http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Vector-1 ... ccessories

There is a recent thread on this on thehulltruth (electronics). Since the OP is in AK, I assume it's not your post.

Cooler holder for rack. Used 2 36" x 1/4 brass threaded rodsfrom H.D. (each cut in half to make 4. Used 1/4 SS cap nuts on front 1/4 ss nylock nuts on back. Used 1/2" sced. 40 PVC as top seperator. Drilled a couple 7/8" holes in the bottom and used 18"x1/2 threaded PVC risers with twist on...

COOLER RACK Fits my Coleman Extreme Roller Cooler perfectly. Top 2 rods hold cooler tightly. Middle 2 rods rest on top of platform to position bottom 2 at correct hieght to bolt through the rungs.

You should be able to check the battery voltage on an individual battery that is it's own separate bank not under load without disconnecting. Any batteries that are connected parallel would show equalized voltage if tested without disconnecting. To check those individually it would be necessary...

Those little $3 multi-meters from Harbor Freight are worth their weight in gold when it comes to tracking down voltage/battery/alternator problems. I keep one in every battery carrying doohickey I have. If you have 110v at the charger plug but then nothing after it, the charger would be my...

Finished platform with spring locks and black starboard insert table Plan to add quick attach for large cooler

Stainless quick latches ($10ea e-trailer) A really nice marine latch

Harper, I just had one more idea for a no stretch solution on this for you to throw on your list. A piece of chain about 8 feet long, 2 carabiners and one anchor shackle and a 30' x 2" ratcheting cargo strap. Put a caribiner at each end of the chain and the anchor shackle in the middle link...
