Re: Firefly not reaching 13.2 volts, not resetting to 100% SOC

I agree with Dave, you need a bigger alternator. As a cludge you can disconnect all but one battery from shorepower and restore one at a time. That’s what I did and it worked well.

Re: Portable generator setup with aircon and inverter

If you run a portable generator you will be the most hated man in the anchorage. They are loud and obnoxious. Get some solar panels and wind scoops or get a hotel with aircon.

Re: Navionics charts any good for Bahamas after their 2018 revisions?

We have been cruising the Abacos for the past two weeks. I believe many people may be confused between the Navionics charts on chart plotters, such as our Raymarine Axiom, and the Navionics charts on...

Re: Center Cockpits: pros and cons

We love our Brewer 44 and it has an aft swim platform. Another advantage is that you’re much closer to the bow. Makes communicating with deck crew when anchoring, docking or mooring much easier. Also...

Perkins 4.236

I’m selling my Perkins 4.236. It runs great and gets stellar oil analysis ratings. It has 6,000 hours and is in need of an overhaul, but still has a lot of life left in it.

Re: Sticker shock on marine generators

We got rid of our genset and couldn’t be happier. We live aboard full time on a 44 foot sloop and have all the luxuries except maybe aircon, washing machine and freezer.
