Good day to all, Have an Onan generator 7.5 MDJE series and last night when running on the hook opened up the fridge and the light was flickering. Both A/C compressors were running as well. I looked at the voltage meter and saw it swinging between 100 - 125V. Also note the load showed 3200...

Has anyone made the leap of faith to this unit yet? I reviewed a prior post by Karl who stated this perhaps had some promise. I wonder if the existing pumps (Robertson AP300DL) and rudder indicator could be used? From what research I've done on the Navman site it looks to warrant further research.

My autopilot has stopped working in Auto and Nav mode with the display staying at 38 degrees. I've toned out the cable back to the junction box successfully. When I pass a large screwdriver near and around the compass the display does not change. It's the compass. Right?

I currently have Cummins factory mechanics working on the boat and part of this process is to install block heaters - that being said, based on the Coast Guards experience it was thought to go with the Kim Hotstart circulating water heaters. The Cummins guys have basically informed me they do...

Maynard Rupp, I'm looking through Petersen publishing never seen before photos and I come across a shot of the Gratiot Auto Supply AA/FD Dragster taken in the wee hours of the morning at the 65 NHRA World Championship Finals in Tulsa OK. The name on the body shell is Maynard Rupp and Roy...

Here's the battery setup on my 43 DC: (4) 8D batteries. (2) for Start (2) for house. Combined amp-hour equals 820Ah. Here's what I want to do: Install a Charles 5000 50 amp charger and a battery combiner. Charger has output lead to house batteries only and combiner connects start and house...

Good day to all, I'm in negoations for a 78 43 F/B MY and was wondering if any members have had experience with Wesmar Stabilizers. I've contacted Toledo Beach Hatteras dealer in MI for an installed price on the Naiads and frankly, they are out of their minds if they really think anyone would...
