Yeah, the magnum is nice. I just wish it would handle 50A instead of 30A. I did actually design out using the Magnum. In the simplest case, it only requires replacing the shore/gen selector switch with shore/gen/invertor. Btw, is the PAE model made for boats? Essentially, I power the Magnum...

Re: I’m not looking fwd to this but I need some help Mine are on an aluminum shelf, attached to the aft wall. I doubt the shelf weighs much.

Well, the outback isn't split phase, so no chance of just wiring it in or using passthrough, and then I have to have a bunch of switches to manage in order to charge it, decide which leg to wire it to, etc. With a split phase approach I just wire it straight in line. No changes at all to the...

My plan thus far ... 3000w Victron, 24v (or 48v?), Inverter/Charger 4 x 12v 200AH AGM Deep Cycle Batteries Remote at helm next to my generator remote I still need to look at how to wire this in. My breakers are on two legs. How can you supply power from a single 120v inverter to both legs? I...

Fyi, Outback no longer makes the 32v inverter and they have no remaining stock.

My boat came with a new windscreen, but the PO hadn't installed it, and I am getting around to installing it. Can anyone post pictures of how it is mounted to the flybridge? It is the forward angled tinted kind. It consists of two pieces that wrap around and meet in the middle, as well as some...

Thanks everyone. Dawn, turning the engine over and screwdrivers did it. It wasn't stuck to the shaft at all, just the friction of the neoprene and the housing. Once you know how and what you are up against, it isn't that hard. I had asked the yard where I bought the boat to change them before we...

Trying to change impellers and it isn’t budging. I read few threads here, one said it was due to the cam, but seems like it is stuck to the shaft. I have tightened the puller hard, but it still slips. Thinking about getting some bolts in the morning from HD to enabling righting even harder, and...

It is on the front specs page, 165 gal, and in the blueprints, 105 and 60.

Are there any issues with putting a dome radar on the overhang in front of the flybridge? Basically where the search light is, but in the center. It would be on a 9" or so pedestal. It's that or add an arch and put it up high. I realize higher is better, but lower is cheaper.:)

I am planning a trip to the keys during spring break (March 16th). I'll be coming from Melbourne, down the ICW to at least Stuart. What's the best route from then on? Also, if conditions are good, isn't the ocean back pretty economical with the Gulf Stream?

Here is more detail on how to sense 32 volts when you are limited to 20 volts... In this example, I want to sense when 32v is going to the bilge light on my helm console (even if the light is burnt out, this still works). I add the two resistors shown from the input to the light to a ground...

Here is a connection diagram that may help someone in the future... As you can see, you can hook up quite a bit of stuff. The nice thing is that all of those connections, except the rudder and AC pump, can be made all within the helm console. No need to run any long wires. For the bilge pumps...

Some shots of the Garmin with everything hooked up. In some shots the engines are running, some not. I didn't run the engines very long, so they didn't warm up. I have a monitor attached to the Garmin on the side, showing the same screen. The Garmin has an extensive number of layouts...

Here is a shot after the install. I still have some cable management to perform. I have been calibrating and so far that is going ok, but with a variety of old senders, I can see how this step can be troublesome. The tachs are pretty easy, as is the voltage gauges. I tested the unit with a...

Here are a couple pictures of the helm prior to the install. This first picture is of the lower section... The black boxes are the Newmar 32v to 12v converters. The two smaller (3 amp) converters are for the gauges, port and starboard. There are inline fuses above each converter that are a...

Here is a picture of the device itself ... Across the top are the analog and digital inputs for each side (PORT and STBD). The A5 analog input on each side has a range of 0 to 40 volts, which makes it perfect for the volt meter. The remaining analog inputs have a range of 0 to 30 volts which...

I finally got around to installing an analog-to-digital solution for my engine gauges. I am not doing away with the analog versions, and I have been replacing the broken ones with Stewart Warner but it is a pain because you have to make sure you get dual station senders, etc. Anyways, the...

You mean like this one?

Only two of the stanchions have an issue, but I want to redo all four. They go across the flybridge, behind the driving area and in front of the dinghy. I am not peeling half of the flybridge to fix a couple square inches. I agree with the thoughts regarding the use of something like G10 (and...
