    Volt drop on starboard volt meter when the nav lights are turned on

    I have to admit, I have only observed this from the gauge. I cannot pull the bulb as these are sealed units.

    Volt drop on starboard volt meter when the nav lights are turned on

    Here is the background. Over the last couple of years, I have switched all my nav lights to LED nav lights. Not just the bulb. Each unit is specifically designed for this. If I recall, they are all Attwood units. When I had just the bow lights and the "mast" lights as LEDs, everything was...

    Lucas ethanol gas conditioner

    I use the ValvTech additive and it seems to work well at stabilizing the fuel and emulsifying water in the fuel. Here in the Puget Sound, we have Ethanol and rain. A combination that is always fun to deal with. I would agree that one should always use an additive as it is preventative...

    Is that centrally located in the galley floor? If so, mine contains the shower sump and storage.

    How Long will a Battery Last with the Refrigerator Powered On ?

    I cannot answer how long they will last, as was pointed out, there are too many variables. I can tell you a few leasons that I have learned. When the batteries get old, they drop off very quickly. Our house bank did just that after being on the hook for about 24 hours. I went to check the...

    Engine/ignition switch alarm barely audible

    I have a '99 310. When starting the port engine, the alarm is barely audible. When the engine starts, everything is normal and the alarm, however faint, stops because everything is normal for engine operations. I am thinking the horn is failing. Has anyone else encountered this? Is it a...

    Stereo upgrade for iPod and more

    I installed the fusion MS-IP600G with two remotes and could not be more pleased. No more hookie cigarette plug radio players that offer poor sound quality. As was pointed out earlier, you plug your ipod inside the unit and get great would quality. It was a plug and play installation too.

    Has anyone replaced the electric two burner stove top? I do not have a generator, and short of being plugged in everynight, the electric stove top is useless. I was thinking about installing a two burner alcohol unit. Not too expensive and seems to be far more practical for the boats...

    Installing genset in '87 270DA.

    What about a portable generator like a Honda and a pigtail? I won't power everything, but is a much cheaper option.

    I replaced my Raymarine stuff with new Garmin. I installed the 5208 chartplotter, GMR18HD radar and the GSD22 sounder. I could not be happier with the Garmin product. It is easy to use and seems bullet proof.

    I am not sure about the dimensions of that unit but I would recommend the Garmin 5208 or you could get the 740, which is a smaller version.

    I am going to the boat in a couple of hours and can measure mine than. How are you going to power it? Do you have an inverter installed?
