So it was a fuse under there (see pic). Not sure what happened, but I'm guessing the fuse didn't do its job. The terminal of the inverter-side cable got warm, but the terminal of the battery side got hot enough to melt. The hot side goes to the batteries, the warm side goes to the inverter...

Found it. See pics below. All cables were in the 80-90 degree range except this one. Where the two cables come together and cross what I believe is a current limiter this one was hot. Once OT cools down I'll disassemble and correct it. Thanks to everyone. My takeaway: if it smells like hot...

Bought an IR thermometer and will try it again today. My inverter/charger is 32v, so probably the reason for the smaller primary leads. Once I run it I'll post the results/temps.

Thx, good info. I spent time following my nose and found it's my Magnum 2000 inverter. It's working but the big #4 cables are warm (not hot). Pending inverter/charger failure maybe?

We're out in the San Juan Islands (it's beautiful - but cloudy..) For the 3rd time in a row, I get a strong electrical when I run my Onan 15k genset. I've looked the thing over several times without seeing anything. It runs fine, everything is working normally, but the "hot electrical" smell is...

FWIW, I got all set to get my OUPV (6-pack) bcs I thought it would help with insurance. I checked with my then-insurance company and my current insurance company. Both said getting to would not change my rates. So I dropped the idea.

Like new Analytic System BCA 1000DM 32v battery charger. New they're over $1,000 (see link). Asking $500 OBO. 360-714-7172...

I have 2" shafts on a Hat 58 LRC. A diver changing my zincs noticed a couple of the bolts were missing from the muff couplers. After spending a couple days researching them, I have a couple questions: 1. How is it that bronze muff couplers can be used on SS shafts without worrying about...

I have the newer Mather engine controls. 4 stations (hem, bridge, and both wings) and love them. Never had a moments problems. Some older ones had problems. Mine are currently 10 yrs or so old. Love 'em.

New Caledonia and Vanuatu.

What size is your shaft?

He makes a good point. It doesn't have to be threadlocked if you can get it wrench tight and don't over tighten the filter. I'd try that first.

Yeah, that shouldn't happen. I'd soak it for 10 min or so in MEK or engine cleaner solvent, then use some green (permanent) thread locker on the engine-side threads. Use a piece of thick cloth and some channel-locks (vice grips) and tighten it into the filter holder. The cloth is to try to...

They are indeed out of business. Web site domain name is for sale.

My 2 cents FWIW: Take your time settling on a boat. It takes years to learn all the differences between boat makers, pros and cons, fiberglass types, engine mfrs and types. Many of us are on our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th boats. Following your direction you may not have the luxury of learning by buying...

What do you do with toilet wax rings?

Solid endorsement, thank you. I'm sold. I've got an older Furuno NAVnet 3-D system. Does anyone know if coastal explore would work on that system?

Is CE a free program or purchase? If purchase, are there cheaper places to buy it or is it all the same regardless of where you buy it?

I have them on both gensets.

I'm out of town until Monday night, but I have the same controllers and have the original manuals. If you don't have manuals and think it would be helpful, call me Monday around 6pm west coast time and I'll go thru the manuals with you. As I recall there's a decent diagnostic and troubleshooting...

I just got my 1975 Hatteras 58 LRC insured thru Ron Randall, Bristol Marine Insurance in Seattle. Cal him. (206) 909-3337

Yes, great point. It's $1M per accident.

2 years ago we bought our boat (Hat 58LRC). Insurance was $1700 for $325k agreed value. - No changes to the policy, but it went up to $2200 the next year. - This year it went up again to almost $2700. Again, no change to value/policy. I started looking. Based on a tip (thanks "Irene")...

What about people who've already had it? They've got the best immunization possible. I wonder of that will get you a COVID passport? I think Soviets issued their people "papers" that allowed them to travel or not travel. China currently does as well; you can only buy are sell at the level of...

I've wondered about this a good bit. My DD 4-71s have no filter (looks like they never have). Just an air box. Has anyone seen air filters for 4-81/6-71s? Not sure how I'd fit one on the intake - it's probably a 12" x 3" rectangle opening.
