Hello Cbrats, I am upgrading my existing Optima series 24 batteries to series 24 Tracker Lithium batteries. This is a significant upgrade as it will reduce stern weight and provide a longer life battery with 5,000 recharge cycles. The batteries may outlast the boat! The cost of the lithium...

Hello friends! I would love to attend the Friday Harbor gathering as it's been on the top of my bucket list since I purchased my 22' Cruiser back in 2014. I've boated on Lake Tahoe and a few local reservoirs with the CDory but have yet to make a trip to the ocean. I am ready to pull the...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

After the new Windlass was installed, it became apparent that my existing battery setup was not up to snuff, so I am in the process installing new batteries, blue sea relay and switch, waterproof charger and BMV 702. It's a tight squeeze but everything fits and is secure. I am a newbie so any...

Hello fellow Cbrats, Well, i just drilled a hole through the side of my boat for the transom bilge drain hold fitting (3/4") and I hope I didn't drill to low. My intention was to drill it low to minimize back flow and match the live well drain on the port side of the boat. Now I am really...

Hello fellow Cbrats, I have a few questions relating to the installation of a new V700. I won't be doing the install, but I want to make sure the boat shop I've selected does it properly. I decided to go with a V700 based on suggestions by Thataway - Thank you! Installing Lewmar bow roller...

Hello C-Brats! I am the proud owner of a 22 Cruiser named 'Thumbs Up' that I purchased through an add placed on C-brats last year. I am excited to become a part of the C-Brat community and look forward to many great adventures on Lake Tahoe and the Pacific Northwest. Puget sound is on my list...
