  2. Sizing the start battery charger

    I posted this once before but because it was buried in another thread, only received one responce. So, here goes again. I'm looking at replacing the start battery charger, used on 2 8-Ds. My theory is that once the engines are started and run a bit, the engine alternators pretty much bring...

  3. Oil Change System

  5. Marquipt boarding ladder installation?

    I have a 4 step ladder to install on our 53' MY. I mounted the brackets just above the air intakes because that was the only area I could through bolt them and gain acess.

  11. 32 Volt Newmar Dimmers

    Does anyone know how to troubleshoot these things ? They have what looks like a normal rheostat and a black box with an aluminum heat sink on the outside. It appears that Hatt used them for all the instrument dimmers .

  17. Genset Shutdown Problem Solved

    Well, as it turns out my genset did not run out of fuel as I had originally thought. When I got back to the boat I checked the reset button on the service panel, and it did not appear to have activated the shutdown. I checked the fuel supply anyway and determined that it was o.k. I was getting...
