I'd sure love such a thing. The chain runout was terrifying yesterday - the Lighthouse 1501 could not snub it, and my leather gloves were useless. All 300 feet in seconds, while we fast dropped...

Hellosailor - that was my first thought... it behaves as if there is a shunt wired backwards. Except... no external shunt. The only connections to the Prosine are the AC in and out, battery + and...

It is a Lestek. But the good news (*smiting self on forehead for not noticing it before*) is that there is a Balmar ARS-4 multi-stage regulator aboard, looking quite new. It is set to AGM and...
