    Getting Victron Multiplus 12/3000/120 information on NMEA 2000 network

    I'm running a Multiplus 12/3000/120 inverter/charger and would like to get the information gathered by that device on my NMEA2000 Network. Looks like I need a Cerbo GX device that would connect to the VE.Bus port on the Multipleplus and then from the Cerbo GX device connect a VE.Can cable to...

    Replacing a Paragon Sr Fresh Water System

    Ok, sometimes you get lucky... As I started to diagnose the problem more and measure space for new pumps I decided to clean the filters, check all connections, repressurize the accumulator, rotate the pressure adjustment knob on the pressure switch, I found one of those things or all of those...

    Replacing a Paragon Sr Fresh Water System

    Well after 33 years my Paragon Sr fresh water pump finally died. The replacement looks to be out of my price range($3500 and up) so I'm going with a redundant Shurflo pumps since they won't last 33 years. When one stops switch over to the redundant one and rebuild the broken one. I found this...

    Business Advice for Web-design for Marinas

    I've been an application developer for more than 40 years. Do it both professionally and as a hobby. One might say I'm coding addict. The best application I ever wrote(and it ran commercially for 30 years) was developed after I did the job for several months. I was assigned an application for...

    Victron Multiplus SoC at 22%, what should be happening?

    Lots of good information. - Probably most of my DC does not go through the Inverter. And once I’m off of shore power my DC, non inverter usage goes up even more. That’s why I’m seeing SoC change so much will cruising. - All charging is from external sources so the Multiplus doesn’t see any...

    Victron Multiplus SoC at 22%, what should be happening?

    I've got a Victron Multiplus 12/3000/120 unit on 2 8D Batteries. The Victron tells me the SoC is at 22% and the voltage is 12.80. The batteries have a battery charger on them that sits in float mode all the time. My volt meter tells my voltage is 13.4 If the SoC is that low shouldn't the...

    Second Anchor placement ?

    Second Anchor placement ?

    That's the questions I should have answered up front. I'm looking mainly at storage and not for simultaneous or regular use. Storage anywhere that requires me(or Admiral) picking it up is out of the question. My spine is bolted together with steel rods and plates from the top down and the...

    Second Anchor placement ?

    Correct there is no roller forward of the existing anchor. One would need to be added. The Rocna goes up and down without any part going into any part of the front eye. See my line below. That's why I thought it was made for 2 anchors. Looks like if the fluke was up first the Rocna would be ok...

    Second Anchor placement ?

    I'm on a 48' Californian/Carver MY with a anchor pulpit that seems to be able to support 2 anchors. Has anyone figured out how to mount a second anchor here? I would like to mount a second fluke anchor on the front. The Brockerts

    Holding Tank Slow Pumping

    I've added a T fitting to my vent line right were the vent line leaves the tank. This way I can open the T fitting when I go to pump out and I'm sure the vent is wide open. I check my vent's monthly but like the idea of a very short vent line during pumpout as the vacuum at our pier is very...

    Dinghy engine mount

    I'm on a 48' Californian CPMY and have dinghy storage rails on top of the sundeck. When I purchased this boat 3 years ago there was a 8' dinghy on top that was beyond repair. I have an 11' Boston Whaler with an 15 hp outboard, total weight 625 pounds. I'm ok with putting the Boston Whaler up...

    New AC unit acting like old unit, High Pressure Error

    This problem has been solved: 1 - Changed the De-icing cycle value from 7 degrees to 5 degrees. 2 - Increased air flow to 180 sq inches. 3 - Reduced water flow to 5 gallons per min from 8 gallons per min as recommended by Dometic. This was a weird combination of settings, air and water...

    New AC unit acting like old unit, High Pressure Error

    I'll test a little more before calling this problems solved as I've been running clean for 40 hours. 1 - Changed the De-icing cycle value from 7 degrees to 5 degrees. Somewhere in the installation and setup this got changed to 7 Degrees. Per Dometic Support the setting of 2(7 degrees) for...

    New AC unit acting like old unit, High Pressure Error

    I've already started a task and cost list for this swap, and located a helper. I've estimated the cost around $300-500 for labor moving these units, 6 hours of work. The Brockert’s

    New AC unit acting like old unit, High Pressure Error

    Ok, the dock water did not work out. It's running 88+ degrees by the time its get to me and the flow rate is a 3 - 3.5 gallons per minutes. The fan speed work is a good idea and in reviewing the settings it looks like I can change them. I'll start playing with them. While working in that...

    New AC unit acting like old unit, High Pressure Error

    I'll check into my dock water temp in the morning, in the afternoon, after traveling 200 yards to my boat it's hotter than the hot water. I'm not sure I can get 4+ gallons per minute either. Water pressure here in Corpus Christi in the summer is really low. I've talked to dometic support...

    New AC unit acting like old unit, High Pressure Error

    This unit is 20 days old. Been in use for 20 days. There is no icing and I’ve been watching for that. Yes we do get growth but that that much. Flow, I have this on an adjustable manifold and I measure flow rate at the outside of the boat where it come out. Bucket and stopwatch work well...

    New AC unit acting like old unit, High Pressure Error

    88 degrees in 93 out, I've got 3 units running on the same pump, all new(1 or 2 years old), all dometic, and this unit is the same as another unit that runs the same water, at the same flow rate and never HP's out The Brockerts

    New AC unit acting like old unit, High Pressure Error

    Now this new unit has me thinking since it acting just like the old unit. The unit high pressures out after a little while no matter what the water flow is. I can adjust the water flow from 3-10 gallons per min. Factor recommends 4.5 gallon per min. The unit is under the front V berth with...
