    New Lithium Battery, DC-DC charger

    I would say if it works keep it working

    New Lithium Battery, DC-DC charger

    100% correct. At 25 amps it would take 2 hours to top half the 100 ah starter battery. What I think and may be I’m wrong, is that starting with a good full battery that I only use to crank the engine topping it will be quicker. My house battery is a 200 ah ampere time battery from Amazon (the...

    New Lithium Battery, DC-DC charger

    I do not know about the xantrex but I do know that gel (amg) and lithium are different chemistries you could, at least, loosing life on your batteries. At what rate, I do not know.

    New Lithium Battery, DC-DC charger

    The reason I put the inverter is because I figure that sooner or later I would need 110 vac. Now, I do not have AC or a water heater. The manual transfer switch output is oviously to the AC panel input then, one side is to the inverter and the other to shore power which I haven’t had to use. So...

    New Lithium Battery, DC-DC charger

    No it does not trip and I do use my heat gun quite often. I purchase the 200 ah. The 2000w inverter should handle 120 amp load. I see you use 14 v for your calculations. I use 12 vdc

    E32-200 stuffing box (tight fit)

    For the solar panel I used 4 100 watt flexible sunpower panels. I also built an aluminum frame to mount them on top of the Bimini. The whole setup weighs about 45 pounds. Because of the 25 volt input limitation of the DCC50S box, they are connected in parallel. I’ll dig some pictures

    New Lithium Battery, DC-DC charger

    No, but I have a double fuse (blue seas) on my battery terminal; one for the charging system which I use 130 amp and a 200 amp for the inverter. Also, all the 4 awful wires coming in have 75 amp breaker on them. Finally the batteries both house and starter and the solar panel all have...

    New Lithium Battery, DC-DC charger

    Hello, Let me first say that I build my system to sustain my autopilot, nab lights and radio 24/7 while underway. Also, I will be relocating my boat to PR so I do not need zero degree disconnect. With this I installed a Renogy DCC50S box with 4 flexible solar panels and a 200ah ampere time...

    Cabin Sole-how best to remove old sole [Master Thread]

    I used 1” marine plywood with the teak and holly veneer. I did not replaced the most fire piece because it was the only salvageable piece. But I did unglue it. By the way I did not glue the sole back just because I rather have it removable. I’ll hunt for pics

    Cabin Sole-how best to remove old sole [Master Thread]

    I did the very same job on my E32-200. Looks like they use 3M 5200 silicon and as far as I can tell they did this to avoid the noise of the wood against the fiberglass. I use a spatula and some tugging but it was not a lot of effort to bring the sole out. I could not find a router bit to cut the...
