    Re: DC voltage conversion

    I was amazed when I installed a Victron battery monitor and saw how many amps the DD starters draw. I think it was in the thousands at 32 volts. Maybe they are not accurate at those loads.

    Re: DC voltage conversion

    Not sure if it's the money, time or just to lazy. My 42 year old, Bertram is still a 32Vdc Bertram.
    I keep spares and keep eyes open at used part shops. Sell 32Vdc parts all over.

    My new windlass is 24Vdc. It is not a constant use devise, so it can tap off the top of the third 8V battery for 24Vdc with no problems.

    Don't let 32V scare you. There are some 48V boats and options still out there.

    In a 12 volt system it is about 1800 CCA to start an 8-71.
