Thanks everyone for your replies. I am still not sure if the hot water heater is in series with the other heat exchangers. If a valve was installed and shut would it stop all coolent from flowing throught the motor, not a good thing I'm sure. I will probably replace the hose runs(eleven years...

Our hot water heater*heats off of 110 vac or engine coolant. I don't know how common this setup is. Does anyone worry that a loss of coolant due to a leak in the hoses to the heater or the heater itself will cause an engine overheat? Do you have shutoff valves between the engine and heater? If...

Safety wiring coupling bolts: I don't, probably a good idea. I use lock washers for whatever good they do. How about a wire jumping the drive saver to reduce electrolosis? If the prop and shaft are not in contact with any other metel ( drive saver and cutlass bearing) will they be subjected to...

Installed in the shaft coupling, they are suppose to shear if the prop hits something. Opinions on them?? Does anyone know: Is it ok to align the shaft with the saver installed? Should the couplings be connected with a jumper wire for electroloysis. Thanks. Bill Waiting on the Hudson for...

Dave: I will investigate the Raritan head. Thanks. I considered putting the new batteries where you did, above the forward fresh water tank. I was concerned about all that weight on the tank. This is where I planned on putting the vacu flush holding tank, which they claim can be smaller due...

Dave O Thanks for your input, sounds like I am doing pretty much the same you did. Any more details on that fiberglassed battery box? Homemade? That's a lot of weight to contain. I plan on installing a vac u flush system where you put the 8 batteries. My batteries will go in the engine room...

Per: I have never looked at solar, always thought it was a sailboat thing, putting out milliamps. I will check them out. I havn't settled yet on CG bats, looking for opinions. I still may try 6 group 31 agm's instead. FlyWright: Start Bats charged from echo chargers only. They will...

Al/Ron Thanks for the reply. Main battery charger is a Xantrex 3 bank 50 amp 3 stage. The little 15 amp chargers are for the two starting batteries(twin engine boat) which will be their only source of charge. The generator also has its own battery. Inverter is also Xantrex, 1800 watt unit...
