Agree. R4 for rudders/ trim tabs. Camp X9 for shafts. Boatzincs.com

Isn't there an ABYC requirement for special boxes to house Lithium Batts along with a BMS?

Maybe finding the water source would help most. Freshwater leaks can contribute to this challenge and can be harder to find. I just corrected one with new fittings and hose. Used the newspaper method. Bilge is dry now.

I have no interest in this. My mechanic told me about it, and listing coming soon from shawn Donnelly in savannah. Mains and gen run. Turbo leak on one side that may just be a riser. Interior is fine. It's a white boat, with white railings. Mystic lady hull 745. Richmond. 6v92s. Exterior...

The math most of us missed is the wife upgrade is 100x more expensive than the previous G/F rating for the same woman. This picture is just early in the process.

If there is power to the panel, it is not fuses either. must be breaker after main 240v panel. our panels are in the engine rooms. These are good to have onboard.

In 10+ years of owning our Hatt, I have burned, not blown, two (2) 240 volt 50 amp shotgun fuses at the power inlet, both in the last 6 months in the same marina. After the first, I had a great mechanic/electrician replace the source 2 plugs with smartplugs. New cords, and use 2 when entire...
