I’ve got the same blue and red pipes on my setup, and I’ve used both Whale and Aqualock fittings without any issues. They both seem to fit the 15mm OD pipe just fine. I mixed them up in a few places, and everything’s held up great so far! Just double-check your connections to make sure they're...

I totally get where you're coming from. I had to sell my boat a couple of years ago for similar reasons—just didn’t have the time to use it anymore with family obligations piling up. When it came to payment, I went with a bank transfer. Felt a lot safer than a cashier’s check, and I made sure it...

I ran into the same issue when I was setting up my DC-DC charger. I ended up using 8 AWG fuse holders because I couldn’t find 6 AWG ones that weren’t overpriced or hard to source. Since your wire runs are pretty short (less than 2 feet) and you’re using 4/0 cable, 8 AWG should work just fine...

Hey, I had a similar issue with my bow thruster. If the motor spins but the prop doesn’t, and you’ve ruled out the coupler, it’s probably the tail piece or the prop itself. When mine acted up, it turned out the key inside the prop had worn out. I had to pull the prop off and check the tail piece...

Almost forgot! For anyone looking to capture their own content, here’s a useful guide on recording computer audio: 7 Free Ways to Record Audio from a Computer [2024]. Thanks for the recommendation, btw.

This sounds fantastic! I’m always keen to see real-life trawler adventures :) I’ll definitely check out the videos
