Re: Flyback diodes on boats

I guess your experience with flyback diodes installed in relays is different than mine. I never observed this in the products I used relays in. You could be in a different industry application.

Re: Flyback diodes on boats

I agree, almost all relays do not have flyback diodes. The person designing the use of the relay should know this. Design it into the circuit if you think it is needed. Any relay with a flyback...

Re: Water in keel - Fountaine pajot Saona 2018

Although it is probably not a safety issue, it could be. Where is the water coming from? Could there be a crack between the bilge and keel that could allow bilge water into the keel? I would want...

Re: Volvo D2-40 MDI box Solution

Re: Storing on the Hard in the Caribbean

I only know of one place where my cat is presently at. St Kitts Marine works. I think it is about $1000 haul out and about $250 per month for a monohull. $500 per month for cat. It is far enough...

Re: Flyback diodes on boats

I agree completely with wotname. He just gets into the technical details a bit more. The bottom line is you can probably put a huge flyback diode on the 12 volts near the windless relay, but it...

Re: Flyback diodes on boats

I must add a couple of statements to consider considering flyback diodes

1. A lot of motors are operated in two directions. Generally a windless is used to bring in the anchor and let it out. ...

Re: Marine fridge not working when I disconnect from AC power

Things are pointing to low voltage. When it works on the dock, the battery is kept at about 14 volts. Now you are reading the voltage at 12.5, which is normal. But, what is really important is...

Re: sling plan for Saba 50 for haul out

Thank you for your comments. I have seen photos of cats sitting on sand in low tide areas. They do that when they want to work on the bottom. I know the keels on some cats are sacrificial. If you...

Re: sling plan for Saba 50 for haul out

When you say not to support it between the bulkheads, would that include the keel? No weight on the keel? I would think it could support the weight if the entire length of the keel is supported. ...

Re: sling plan for Saba 50 for haul out

I have come across a Salina 48 without proper blocking support. How would I find the proper method to support a Salina 48 when off the sling?
