This is perfect, thanks guys for the responses. I have to add the chain stopper - but figured it was probably through bolted through that piece of starboard.

So got this from another member here and finally installed it to check it out. While it is cool it just doesn't make sense for me to carry these 5 panels. I love the seat cover and will keep that, perfect for nights to keep the dew off the seats. Anyone interested in the drop curtain it is brand new with all the hardware to install, still wrapped in the paper from the factory. Make me an offer if interested.

Hi, I'm still exploring my new boat. I want to replace batteries. I see the 2 8D for engines and 2 batteries for bow thruster. Is there a designated battery for the generator?

It gets power from the 8D's

Oh ok. The battery switch in panel just uses the 2 8Ds?

Also I'm assuming AGM is definitely the way to go, a shop I was in had the other and they were still sealed for 250 a piece rather than about 700 a piece for AGMs

Go AGM, call these guys

Ok thank you, I will

 

[ocgrant]

Ok thank you, I will

I got my Deka AGMs there and the price was great, again pre-covid.
Make sure you got help with removing and installing those things... Definately a 2 man job with ropes.

That is a great deal!

Thank you

Pulled the coil off and tested it. It seems to have a weak magnetic pull. I took it off and ran a screwdriver through it and then turned on the heat. It definitely had some pull but not particularly strong.. how strong should it be?

I have an issue with my port-side windshield wiper motor (it stopped wiping). This happened once before and it just started working again. Looking at the wires over the galley, I don’t see any corrosion and the breaker/fuse under the panel isn’t tripped. Any ideas on this before I tear into it and start resplicing everything at the wiper motor?

Interesting, Jeffery had an issue but it was the actual assembly. I would test the voltage, there has to be a module somewhere, I have never looked for it.

I recall seeing a wiper module under the helm, toward the starboard side. It was labeled as such.

Thanks, yes there is a breaker under the helm, it’s not tripped, but I can certainly test the voltage there. Otherwise I’ll test the voltage at the motor and if the motor is bad - well then I guess AM Equipment will get their pound of flesh for a new motor…we all know they’re very proud of their pricing. Thanks guys!

@Sooliman
I think there is also a blackbox wiper module located under the helm when you open that access panel down by your feet.

Yes there has to be a speed control module but I have never gone looking for it. My guess is your problem resides there. With 2 switches and a speed controller that is a lot of connection points to check first before replacing the motor.

OC and Shaps - that I haven’t seen (wiper control module / black box) - I’ll go digging! Definitely a good chance it’s a connection there too, worth checking.
