Re: Navionics - A Childrens Toy?

Sorry for the above post—I accidentally sent it prematurely. How can I use satellite images and be able to toggle quickly between the navionic charts and sat image on my iPad mini?

Re: Interior Paint

For those who are not going to sand, I suppose water soluble would be the way to go. Those who shoot for perfection, knowing we will never achieve it, plan on many coats of primer to fill the grain...

Re: Victron 100/30 voltage measurement

I had the exact same nuisance problem with both of my 100/30’s. I chalked it up to Victron economizing on quality control. My logic was why would Victron want to spend the money the money on lab...

Re: Trojan T-1275 GC12

Trojan says the T-1275 delivers the same number of cycles in the lab as do the T-105. They are both equally robust in the lab.

Re: How often do you expect to rebuild your head with full time use?

My cheapie marine head needed zero maintenance during the three years I lived aboard. I believe what does them in is the lack of use. Just prior to living aboard, I opted for changing out the pump...

My MDJE did the exact same thing. It turned out to be the centrifugal switch points needed gapping after a two year layup. Unfortunately, you can't buy those points new anymore. We my post on...

Re: Intelligent lead-acid battery choice

All, thanks for your replies.

I too, like many of you feel that GC-2s provide the most bang for your buck; however, I have just too many irons in the fire to tackle moving the bank to the main...

Re: Intelligent lead-acid battery choice

Maine Sail, Thanks for the information. Will the Trojan SCS200 in your opinion likely provide more cycles than Walmart/costco type of deep cycle batteries?

Re: Intelligent lead-acid battery choice

I am not willing to spend the big bucks until after I get around to move the bank outside the engine room. When I do, Perhaps I will buy 5 Fireflys--that would be all I would need if I cycled them...

Re: Intelligent lead-acid battery choice

John, are the Trojan SCS200's a true deep cycle? If they are what Maine Sail calls a true deep cycle I think that is the way I should go. Also, if the SCS200's have more room above the plates, they...

Re: Intelligent lead-acid battery choice

One day I will put either fireflys or GC2s under a settee in the main cabin. However, I am not willing to do that for this go around.

Intelligent lead-acid battery choice

Once again, the batteries in the house bank of my Morgan 415 OI need replacing. In the 10 years or so that I have owned the boat, this will be the 3rd time I have had to replace my batteries.

Re: Shaft bearing replacement Morgan OI

Not all OI's are the same. My 1980 415, which had the offset shaft, required removing the bottom rudder mount so that I could get a bit more room to get the shaft past the rudder. However, my rudder...
