Re: How to de-install marine head for composting

yes, definitely needs a sensor that blinks or beeps every now and then when you get to 80% on the fluids

Re: How to de-install marine head for composting

Quite a journey you've been through, Zach!

Now it's time to harvest the crops of your hard work... well, that might've come out wrong?

Re: Charging LFP dropin questions

You should test it, as it will work!

What's the advantage of some hybrid system?

Re: Charging LFP dropin questions

That's one big alternator! And it's feeding the house bank? From there the DC2DC charger goes to the starter batt?



You did take into account that LFPs don't want to be stored at 100% SOC?

Re: Anyone using a DST810?

That sounds rather disappointing. I feel for you.

As some mentioned, voltage spikes are arguably the no. 1 killer of those devices. Unless the N2k power supply is properly filtering the input,...

Re: OpenCPN and Mac OS Sonoma 14.1.1

Yes, it's not uncommon for open source software to not have the proper signature from Apple and hence you need to force MacOS to run the binaries the first time around.

Re: Perkins 4.236 v-belt/alternator issues

Flogging a dead horse?

Thanks Rowglide, only we can't see the alternator at all in that pic.

Re: Anyone using a DST810?

That might be a bit of overkill compared to a Zener diode. :wink:

Especially since you don't expect your bus voltage to ever drop that low for the boost converter to kick in just to power your N2k...

Re: Anyone using a DST810?

A firmware update would fix damaging a MOSFET if there are voltage spikes? That sounds a bit strange. The only way one can imagine such an improvement would be if the MOSFET was not directly...

Re: "Cheap" LiFePO4 drop-in update

Welcome to the forum, Merlo.

Have you considered opening a new thread for your question?

My answer would be "no", never heard of them, and 500 EUR for 100Ah@12V sounds quite expensive to me.

Re: "Cheap" LiFePO4 drop-in update

Thanks for your first hand experiences! And BTW, you mentioned that you charge the LFPs to 14.1V which is not 100% SOC and hence you should be just fine either way.

Re: White smoke from diesel after one hour of operation

Very hard to understand your english (as usual), sorry. why checking the injectors if it all started with a cooling issue after blocking the intake?

Re: OpenCPN and Mac OS Sonoma 14.1.1

Hi Brett,

my version 5.0.1 on an M1 crashes after the first window pops up.

Their website says supported version are 10-12, Sonoma is 14.

I've downloaded their latest version, which is...

Re: Landlocked in Vermont

You’re worried that she’s not on board with your dream, but how do you know sailing is the future for you?

Have you tried to charter a boat first for a weekend, then a week, then two?

IOW,...

Re: Seizing Wire as Hose Clamp / Clamptite

I'd say the stainless slotted hose clips are the way to go. I didn't even know the spring clips can be pushed to lock open, or I never managed to put one in that position, will have to try next time...

Re: Solar panel wire versus marine primary wire

I prefer the split loom, too. And the part that is exposed to the sun is usually only a small fraction of the run.
