    Battery Storage

    Brent B "Curious on why you need 3 batteries? Do you overnight often and for several days? Do you one have start and 2 deep cycle? " My dream is a summer on Puget Sound and I am rigging the boat so I can spend a few nights on the water and have extra volts for my cannon down riggers, windlass...

    Battery Storage

    Hello fellow Cbrats, I was able to fit three group 24 batteries, battery charger, switch, Victron BMV post and three breakers in the starboard lazarette. I just uploaded a picture of the setup to my album. I was very happy with this setup as it made the best use of a small space and...

    Pulling Anchor

    I purchased a Delta #14 fast set anchor and V700 windless on the advice of the C-Brats and Thataway for my 22 Cruiser. I don't have much experience with anchoring and pulling anchor. What is the best technique for pulling anchor? I've pulled anchors on different boats using an anchor buoy...

    Water Tank Thread Sealer

    Thataway, Sunbeam - you guys are terrific. I can't thank you enough for you're advice. I reinstalled the water tank last night with no thread tape or sealer and there is still a leak. So here we go again, attempt #3. I applied a liberal amount of silicon to each fitting, will let it sit...

    Water Tank Thread Sealer

    Hello fellow Cbrats, How do you property seal the nylon fittings that connect to the 20 gallon on board water tank? I pulled the water tank out and it appears a leak is coming from either the air gap fitting or the pump hose fitting. I tried using thread tape but that didn't work :( Of...

    Auto Pilot with unbalanced RAM

    Autopilot is a Lowrance NAC 1. Lowrance tier one support wasn't very helpful, tier two support was more helpful but couldn't come up with a solution. The Lowrance AP splits the difference between hard over port and hard over starboard. With an unbalanced steering Ram, the engines won't...

    Auto Pilot with unbalanced RAM

    Any CBrats using an Auto Pilot on twin outboards with an unbalanced steering RAM? My steering RAM is an 'unbalanced' Seastar HC5370. The unbalance RAM requires more hydraulic fluid to turn the motors in one direction vs. the other which can create a problem with autopilots. Of course I...

    BMV-702 and Pole Mount

    Thank you Sunbeam, Harvey, Jkidd, Rogerbum and everyone else! You have given me direction for this installation which is very helpful. I have decided to mount the Lowrance pucks on the shelf above the helm. It will be an easy install and out of sight. And.........I don't have to drill a...

    BMV-702 and Pole Mount

    The shelf above the helm inside the cabin? I was considering this location but was concerned the GPS signal may not penetrate through the cabin roof. This would be the easiest install by far :) Mounting the GPS puck flat on the roof looks good would be easy too. :thup

    BMV-702 and Pole Mount

    I wanted to get a few CBrat recommendations on good install locations for a BMV-702 display before I drill a dash hole. Don't want any regrets after the hole is drilled :shock: Does this look like a good spot? http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ... _photo.php Second question: I am...
