Take a look at this. Desulfator chargers do spike the voltage. I would hope that your charger does this to your lead acid batteries or you are not getting the full life potential. https://carbatterygeek.co.uk/battery-reconditioning-desulfation-conditioner-charger-desulfator-car/

One of the main reasons not to use a modern smart charger on Lion that isn't made for Lion is because it may spike the voltage once in a while to clean the plates. With Lion you do not want that spike.

Nt37 3000 would be barely broke in. At least 6000, time is always a factor and care. If it sat for a long time in a corrosive environment would not help. But as of date its using about 1/2 quart in 50 hours. If used regularly they will make 10,000+

Nordic tugs 37. There is one for sale on Lake Michigan. https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/2001-nordic-nt37-8335325/

I use a KASA plug to remotely turn on my block heater about 2 hours before I get to our boat with a cummins 6bta. I've been doing this for 1 season and I like it a lot better than the inlet air heater that I disabled. The plug works off wifi and a app.

After the end of the boating season I purchased an AGM Tiapan TM15-256. I wanted something dual purposed. Hand held and able to mount. With the app you can view it on your phone or tablet via WiFi. I plan on mounting it on the boat and using WiFi because it doesn't work through glass. It is...

I saw a boat in Bermuda while walking around named "Fugly" It was, and I was rolling around laughing.

I would like to get a different anchor because I have found that the claw doesn’t set great in the southern part of Lake Michigan. At least not on my previous boat. I currently have a 44lb claw and would like to move to a s100 spade. My problem is that the spade has a longer shank and will not...

Thanks, This has been the best guidance I have heard yet. I heard of the dont crank it too long because of the water issue but never could get a time limit. I didn't know if it was 5 seconds or 5 minutes. The preheater explanation was very good also. I was told to turn the key and wait for the...

I would like to thank all of you for your reply. I called Nordic tugs as suggested in one of the posts and they said that it is BS that there exhaust will fill with too much water if cranked for a long time. Maybe others would have a problem. It kind of makes sense because the air coming out...

Hi, We have a relatively new to me Nordic tugs 37 with a cummins 6BTA and I know that you should not crank the starter for very long so that water doesn't back up into the turbocharger and cylinders. My question is what is too long and how long do you have to wait after before reattempting? A...

Running on 1 I'm planning on running on one engine for this whole summer. That is, except for when my generator is on. :D

I currently have 5/16 bbb. I didn't think that the g43 would work on the same windlass.

How about 3 strand or double braided attached to the chain I know double braided lays down better in the locker but the windlass doesn't grip it as well.

I’m assuming so. I guess the question might also be how well the chain locker is ventilated. For that I guess I could open the locker from the cabin. A second question is how well the chain connector links go through a windless because it sounds like they like to send 5/16 in 92’ buckets and...

Hi, The new to me Nordic tugs 37 has 150’ of 5/16 rusty chain. It is not rusted solid in the locker but it is ugly. My question is, how long does galvanized chain last in fresh water before it gets rusty? I’m tempted to get stainless but then I might reduce the length a bit to save $ and...

Has anyone tried the Michigan wheel DQX on the Nordic tugs? With othe boats i have heard that it has an impressive increase in performance.

Firehoser75, Did your wot speed go up or stay the same after you took 2 inches out of the prop? Just curious. I know its better for the engine. Thanks

What were the results of reducing your prop pitch? This is something I am also interested in. When the boat has full fuel and water it is about 200 rpms low and slow.

Good point.

Hi, I just recently purchased a NT37 that doesn't have a spare prop. I figured I might get a new prop and keep the old one as a spare. The boat has a 330 hp cummins engine. It came with a 28" x 24 michigan wheel prop. As I look at props I have been considering a dyna quad and DQX. The DQX is a...

Thanks for the reply, It was from a guy that I spoke to who has been maintaining a NT42. It seemed a little odd. And when I just looked at a NT 37 that I am about to buy I had it hauled out and didn't notice a bunch of water coming out. I was wondering if the hole into the wet keal was...

Does the Nordic tugs 37 have a wet keel? Just curious because I thought I heard that somewhere. If it does I would think when pulling it out of the water it would drain for a while.
