    Isolation Transformer Installation

    The problem with all of this is this, if you have a problem and actually need the isolation transformer to fix an issue then the right thing to do is fix the issue causing the need. I went through this and now have zero issues with any GFCI powered dock. An isolation transformer is a good...

    Smart Plugs - Still A Good Solution or No Longer In Vogue?

    @scooper321 Steve, No real experience with Smart plug, but just my two cents. I don't see the value of switching to a proprietary power system like this. If you concerned with the connectors why not switch over to 50A. They are much more heavy duty and have a better securing mechanism. My...

    Who Buys New

    Yes, but what 10% makes and what 1% makes can't be averaged together. You can't do that with these numbers.

    To your point, it must have almost doubled, not quite but close. Going out, most of the places around me don't give the 20% option anymore for tipping, its all 22.5 or higher. Everything is just broken and I don't think it will ever go back, unfortunately.

    Who Buys New

    Meaning the top 10% of the US, still doesn't make any sense and still put's you around $170K. You need to be the top 4-5% to buy a boat and higher for new. JMO.

    Who Buys New

    I only skimmed through that PDF, but I came up with vastly different numbers then what you posted. What page was that on, I probably missed what you were referring too? Very interesting read, but I came up with what I am seeing, businesses charging more and people making that same and not...

    Bringing Analogue Caterpillar Temp, Pressure and Level Signals onto NMEA 2000 Backbone

    @Jeff Evans Jeff I posted the temp and oil pres files at the end of this thread - https://clubsearay.com/index.php?threads/actisense-emu-1-engine-converter-analog-to-digital.101609/

    Actisense EMU-1 Engine converter analog to Digital

    Thought I would post the custom gauge files for my original Oil pressure and Temperature senders used in this thread. The part numbers for the senders are in the file names.

    Correct prop

    What @Stingrayaxe is saying is if you move to a 4 blade the pitch of the 4 blade should be 2" less then the 3 blade and that should make things equal and still get WOT RPM. So if your current prop gets you max RPM at WOT then a 4 lade prop should be the same diameter and 2" less pitch, or even...

    Correct prop

    Four bladed props are slower but punchier out of the hole.

    Thoughts on going from 7.4 MPI Gen VI to Carb Gen IV

    Nothing wrong with Quadrajets, they do develop cracks at the stem and the bowls leak down after a few days. But it's an internal leak and doesn't hurt performance. Carb vs FI, FI will use less fuel. A 340 with carbs will burn ~36-8 gal/hr at cruise and FI ~6-8 gal less. But YMMV...

    So what's your plan? Sounds like a lot sitting at the dock ... Bummer.

    Keep Track of Rising Prices

    Kent Narrows MD gas (89) is $4.89/gal and diesel is $4.88/gal. I get .25 off/gal but when you burn 40 an hour that doesn't help much.

    Correct prop

    Better control would be a lower pitch prop to a point. Higher pitch puts more load on the engine and makes it less responsive to RPM changes.

    Correct prop

    To run the engine correctly and get the most amount of life from it, you shouldn't go above it's red line RPM value. Red line is referred to the values that are red on the tachometer or it's max RPM value. I believe an 87 is rated for 4200-4600 RPM. To tune the prop to the correct value you...

    Bringing Analogue Caterpillar Temp, Pressure and Level Signals onto NMEA 2000 Backbone

    I did both on the EMU's. I found the boiling water to be more accurate. I then used those resistance readings for the curve entry.

    Looks like your prop is this one: https://www.boats.net/propellers/search?product_sku=6EBA-SOLAS-9511-148-17&ui=propeller&CAGPSPN=pla&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlZixBhCoARIsAIC745BBTXT9RbHfP6pDbd7L4XepUFgf6rybaAVo2DfWCQstu1JMyJm0PM8aAqOeEALw_wcB Or a 14.8D x 17"pitch RH. So the question is do...
