On my recent trip I ran into an occasional high bilge alarm. Fortunately, it was a false alarm. It seem to happen when I used my trim tab buttons. Is it possible to get a false alarm due to low voltage? It's the only thing I can think of but not sure. Of course, I could not tell which high bilge...

I finally had a chance to look at all of the blue prints for the boat. If I am reading them correctly, the only thing between a properly running DDEC engine and my batteries is this Vanner battery equalizer which reduces the 24 volts put out by my batteries to the 12 volts needed by the DDEC...

I am taking a hard look at the cell phone plan I have that covers the six lines I pay for. The only line that binds me to my current carrier is the expensive aircard that I have onboard that I use for my CCTV cameras both at the marina and underway. It took forever to get that aircard configured...

Well, it looks like I might have spoken too soon on having no damage from Irma. It appears as if the battery charger on my bridge used exclusively to charge the 4D battery 12v battery on the bridge which itself is used exclusively for my bridge electronics appears dead. I am having it looked at...

I am considering a battery change out on my '74. It is a 24V system. I want to stick with 8D batteries. I do not want Rolls. Had some bad luck with them. What is a good, non AGM choice for the starboard bank which starts the starboard engine. For the port side, which is also the house bank, do I...

Just took first leg of summer cruise. Four fuel tanks. Despite fuel manifold on port engine being in correct position, upon arrival, gauges show both engines drew from same fuel tank. Checked with Bruce. There is no cross over, other than the fuel manifolds, which would permit both engines to draw...

Well, after calibrated the AP compass on my Simrad AP 20 successfully, I still have too large a deviation that is non linear. So, it can't really be corrected with the manual offset. And, to make matters worse, I have been unable to locate where the original owner placed the compass to check for...

Since the HOF forum members are the smartest around, I figure I would run this by you folks. I have many cordless phones in my house. However, the wiring to the jacks of all but one base station is, well, let's just say not up to Hatteras standards. The signal comes in the house to a cable model...

Does anyone have a Detroit Diedel guy to recommend in Jupiter, Florida? I need to remove and replace a fuel cooler on my 1292 DDEC. Thanks.

Treasure Coast Battery in Stuart, Florida removed four batteries from my 74 in Jupiter and installed four replacements today. A perfect job at the right price. The batteries were $231 per and the total labor was one hour. They did NOT charge drive time either way to Jupiter. Fast and easy.
