Thanks Mitch. I had posted on the 3116-3126 thread as well. The reason for the post in the 380 thread was regarding the stern tube size. The thinking is the stern tube size would be 380 specific.

If I recall there are a total of 14
5/8 - 4
3/4 - 2
1 1/8 - 4
1 1/2 - 4
At the time we did this, we found the chrome plastic ones didn’t have long enough stems and located ones with enough stem length thru searay-parts.com. (I don’t see them listed on their site anymore u may have to call them below are the code #’s) The 3/4 required a little massage for fit.

Hello all,
I am adding Lithium LifeP04 batteries to my boat this year. The boat is a 2000 DA which has to two Merc 7.4 V8 engines. I purchased a Pronautic 60amp charger to handle the shore power charging needs and it does have a LifeP04 program. Each battery bank consists of two Banshee 12V 100ah LifeP04 batteries connected in parallel to double the ah, There is a port and starboard battery bank that power the boat and also providing starting current for the engines. My concerns are the two alternators on the boat. From what I can tell they are original equipment to the boat. Banshee suggests that as long as the alternators produce between 13v and 15v while running (3000 rpm) that should be fine. "should" is what concerns me. I really don't want to blow up my alternators. I believe I need an alternator that is a smart alternator with the correct amps but I don't have the budget to replace them at this time. In doing some research I believe the Orion Tr Smart 12/12-30A (360W) might be the way to go. I believe the negatives have a common ground so I think the non isolated would do the trick. Most of my boating is at cruising speeds @3000 rpm producing about 13.7A. Would two of the Orion's do the trick?
Any advise would be most appreciated.
Definitely do not try to direct charge LiFePO4 you WILL smoke your stock alternators. YouTube has lots of videos showing the results!Hello all,

View attachment 127990 How the heck do I power off my depth/speed unit, and what is this elect switch at the helm for, it's always lit blue?

I think the electric hatch actuator/motor is on it's last legs.
In the parts manual it's listed as "1100213 ACTUATOR, ELEC HATCH LIFT 12"12V CE".
Has anyone replaced this unit? If so, where did you find a replacement?
Attached is a picture of the motor.

The prices I see are around $668 and up to $1000
I believe if you turn off your Electronics switch it will go off. It
Looks like the switch is lit up meaning it is on.
That’s for 24 volt so be carefulhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/2938181278...sUP2WoVRTW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Looks like it's an auction for a used actuator
