i almost bought it, she went for $4800 on the auction. i could have done that just for spare parts / propellers etc.

i answered my own question: yes you can connect to a bank of batteries.. from voltage regulator you connect to battery or bank of batteries (should be a parallel connection onto the banks).

do you hook the regulator up to just one battery or to the "house" batteries and if so how is this done? could it be done through the same terminal as the generator? *

someone should make a new thread: "switches i dont know what are for" some real chill stories already on what weird switches some owners put in their boat.

yes, i have two radars, same as your setup, one on each helm. mine are separated vertically by only perhaps 12-24 inches. not sure, but dont think i have ever run them both simultaneously but in any case never had any problems.

You bet................* Well actually it's not my boat, and I didn't pick the crew, but if I could take everyone who wanted to go, I would. We do have some room on our Alaska spring trip though, see the classifieds for info. The Nordhavn is currently in Hawaii, and it's a straight shot to...

how heavy is that stuff per each sqft?

the californian was designed with the GB as a model, but flatter bottom towards the stern and larger engines to make it possible for higher speeds. to me that is one of the highlights of the californians. we have the 38'. we have the twin turbo 260hp, i generally run them between 1500 and 2200...

i had a chance to look at some of the responses and can somewhat put myself in your situation as I have children close to age of yours. It sounds like you are looking for a major life change, tired of Atlanta, loving the free spirit lifestyle etc. Those may not be the same reasons for wanting...

we have an 8' achilles inflatable with woodfloor and a 4 hp 2 stroke. i cant imagine having one with soft floor, its really nice to have the solid floor. i bought it used and can only recommend that... its gonna get used sooner or later anyways.

i purchased my system yesterday, will try to update this thread with progress and photos etc. for now, i am still considering a "most" efficient mounting location, once i have the product i think i will have a better idea where to mount it.

FF and Datenight are you referring to the Acoustiblok carpet underlay? or you mean the Soundown product?

where do you mount the volt regulator? near the panels or near the batteries? i am guessing there is easily 25 ft from panel location to the batteries so is it most efficient to run the MC cable the furthest distance, that would be my guess?

i am no expert but you might check out some of the used californians, 34 or 38 ft. typically from the early 80's and typically with twin diesels. these boats can get up and go (nowhere near 39 kts but 15-20 ) or trawl for economy and you can own these for a reasonable used boat price.

i have worklights in my cockpit, guess they were installed for night time fishing, really bright stuff and not the kind you turn on while at anchor admiring the nighttime sky. i considered putting in one or two LED accentlights. there is a lip coming out from the FB floor, its perfect place to...

nice.. we really could use an ICW on the west coast on that note, have you done a lot of cruising up into the delta? *

it is the same "old" story how will a civilized country/regimen deal with un-civilized criminals? if you deal them the same punishment dealt in a civilized country, the criminals dont budge only their own cruelty would put a scare in them. in this day and age of constant surveillance and new...

guess we are not talking about the NJ turnpike.. loop is east coast thru panama to west coast?

thanks everyone, big help deciding on a couple minor upgrades.

I don't have any pictures of my mount and I'm away from my boat at the moment. It's just a rectangular frame made out of aluminum angle*with 2 lengths of flat bar running up the middle with 4 feet to fasten it to the hardtop of my pilothouse. It's designed to hold 6 smaller panels (3' by 16"...

I was wondering if anyone have experience with acoustiblok? its a noise insulation material used around or shielding off noisy areas. considering to put it either under my carpet or possible on the inside of the ER.

not trying to change the subject but was wondering if anyone have experience with acoustiblok? its a noise insulation material used around or shielding off noisy areas.

Tim, It is terrible news, very very sad. i know the pirates involved in that attach have already been dealt with but i surely hope in the future that these criminals will be met with much more force than the catch and release going on currently...

David, being from Denmark I hear much of the news related to pirates of the worlds largest container line Maersk Line. There are big discussions going on currently whether or not to arm the vessels or place weaponed guards onboard. Likewise there is a huge controversy with what to do with...
