Ok that makes sense to me, I have had the vent blocked in the past due to heavy seas ans sloshing of «*poo*» so I will try flushing. I have only to this point uses LP air to clear the blockage but not flushed with fresh water. My tank is original so 13 years old now, is 35 gallons and I have...

Thanks Peggy ? My bubble system does actually run 24/7 365 I have not turned it off since I installed it over a year ago. I did have initially a line that ran across the bottom with many holes to stir up and bubble the tank. Now that system lasted about a year but then plugged and corrosion...

Hey everyone! I know this is not a new subject and have read many threads on the subject and made a few modifications to try and fix my issue but can’t seem to get there. I have a 2007 Mainship Trawler with the original 35G holding tank that has a saltwater flush system. I fully know that the...

The install will be pretty straight forward it’s getting the 3X8D batteries out that will be difficult!!

Island Battery on Burnside Ave, open to everyone. Prices will be going up in Aug so be quick ��

So it pays to shop around, I found Trojan for 189/each at another wholesale supply here in Victoria . I think I will go with them as they are the same price as the Canadian energy and have a better warranty

Yea the difference is a lot and I don't know why other than exchange and shipping??

Good call on Princess they are just down the street. Not too worried about the ferry just the time this is going to take, I have a trip planned soon and between work and my holidays I don't have much time. This came up kinda unexpected. Thanks

Great, thanks I was going to use Trotac but will give them a call since they are local! Rob

Quick on here everyone... Unfortunately I need to replace my house bank so I want to move to 6V golf cart batteries (6 in series/parallel). I have price quotes and Canadian Energy seems to be the best price (190/each) vs 289 for Trojan and 220 for Interstate. I don't have experience with...

Looking to see if anyone has found a Bluetooth GPS that also has a NMEA line out on it. I love my Garmin Bluetooth GPS for my iPad Pro but also would like to get a signal to my DSC Radio. Thanks Rob

Joyeux St Jean!

On our 2007 34 Trawler it is under the stairs used to get Doug from the salon to the galley.

On our longer trips I tow my 19' aluminum dive boat behind for all the reasons listed above but mostly for diving. We have a routine for berthing and the more my wife gets comfortable driving the tin boat the better it gets. I have had it in some snotty weather and so far no issues, I do run a...

Ok so that is a different beast than the others I have looked at and something to seriously look at. Thanks for the info everyone Rob

Hi everyone I have a question about these battery monitors. I just did a rebuild on my charging system and installed an amp meter which showed the output of the alternator. My thoughts were that I could see the state of my batteries by the output on the meter. Over the past few months I have...

Yes something like that will be needed for sure as from what I can see it's quite a large seam and there is a lot of old calking to remove. Rob

The access is not bad, just high up so I need to figure a ladder that’s will be stable enough or have the boat pulled out of the water which I would rather not do until next year.

The only leaks I have seen are coming out of the vents at the stern so I assume water is getting in between the cap and the top of the main cabin if that makes sense.

I am also considering the same thing on my 34’, I’m just wondering how to clean the old calking so the new will adhere to it and form a good seal. Mine is quite mouldy so simply scrubbing may not be good enough. Let us know how your repair goes. Thanks Rob

So I figured it out finally ? apparently you need to start with both the upper and lower switches in the off position. Then chose which position you plan on using and flash up from that station. As long as the one of the switches are in the off position then the other one will work as it should...

Ok so I have a new solenoid however that was not the issue as it’s doing the same thing (not shutting down). I did discover one thing however, if I disconnect the wire that supplies power to the fuel shutoff solenoid (purple one) on either of the switches (upper or lower helm) then the other...

Ok found the relay and there was quite a bit of corrosion around most of the terminals. I cleaned them up but no joy so I will try and source a new one and see if that’s the issue. Thanks again for your help. Rob

That’s very helpful, thanks at least I kinda know whet I’m looking for now :)

I will give that a try but when i cut power from the breaker panel or pul the plug locally at the solenoid it stops immediately every time. I will put a meter on it though and see what happens. The thing is that both the upper and lower helm are reacting exactly the same. That is why I was...
