I was losing pressure but no fluid so did a soap test around the fittings on the tank and found the lid of the tank leaking. Took it apart to replace the gasket and fluid. Found some pitting in the aluminum, cleaned it up and so far ( down to Keys and starting back) all is good.

If you were planning to go the Dismal Swamp. The Dismal Swamp Canal, Route 2 of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, will be closed temporarily to through vessel traffic at that time, Jan 6. The rehabilitation is expected to take 90 days. See USACE

So at this point i'm going with the two NorthStar group 31, I can get a better price on them then the Odesseys for my SE120 side power. Then I think i'll be going with a Parallel / Series relay and recharge off House or Start bank. Each has its own alternator.

It sounds like a charge and the a relay would be a nice to have in line. The thruster say a minimum of 400cca or so and only room for two group 31s. So don't have much choice but to keep its use short. More practice on the back and full.

Im concerned about having the agm at a low state of charge for 7-10 days wile out and shorting life of battery between bring it up.

The only reason for agm is poor location i have to use a mirror to see water levels. The DC to DC sound worth looking in to. It may be easer then changing out one of my alternators to 24v We do stay on anchor a lot. Ill have to price shop some of the other batteries.

Im looking for suggestions. I'm replacing my bow thruster batteries (2 12v=24v 288ah sweeper) flooded with Agm. No room for 6v so looking at two Northstar g31agm 102ah,1150cca. i realize that ill be losing some reserve capacity. Also no 24v recharge except from shore power or generator. Am i...

MTOA= Marine Trawler Owners Association

I came looking for info on trawlers before buying, now spend more time learning, upgrading and keeping this one going from the knowledge gained here.

out on the Chesapeake bay

I will be going to the Fort Myers city marina today then exploring some of the west coast for a few weeks before heading back to the east coast. Still haven't gotten around to how to post pictures.

Been following the Forum for year and half while looking and purchasing a trawler. Now on it and checking out Florida and loving the life.
