That'll work.

Scary Stuff Bob. My family didn't serve in the war as we were farmers and were exempt but many of dad's friends went. The Liquid/Gas extinguisher is something I'm not familiar with.

I mentioned the lakes I passed on my way to garden centers and Mormon Temples all over the mountain states, up until I retired in December, selling Dutch bulbs. The sierras are my favorites but there are too many people. I hope to see those lakes again.

Clearly written. My guides are to short and the rear guides often goes under. it wouldn't take too mush to change that a little higher. So, Bob and Tom Both like the heat shrink crimps and regular heat shrink over that? What do you do for the three-way junction created at the side markers?

I was so spoiled as my last boat was a Carolina Skiff 24. It had 10" of foam in the floor and no water would come in unless multiple big people stood back there. Rarely did I use the plug.

Last Week I forgot to put the plug into the back and quickly took on 6" of water. Once I noticed it that plug went in at record speed. Earlier this week I turned on the washdown pump (after opening the valve). Hazzard, needs work! I noticed that the stream that I was supposed to receive at the...

Yes I usually get a new light set with cheap wire every 3-5 yrs. have you tried the liquid tape?

Honky Dory was my favorite Glen-L Design. I used to pass that lake when on sales trips but only once stopped to look at it. Also Bear Lake and Palisades. Have you been to them all in that area. Flathead, Preist, and Coeur d' Alene? that three corner of states is magnificent. Now I'm retired...

I tend to go through a lot of trailer lights...I have four trailers and all four visit unspeakable places and suffer much harm. Do you always unplug your lights when backing them down the ramp? For the most part I connect my lights with standard crimp fittings or standard twist on wire nuts...

Where, how and when do you store or "keep handy" your fire blanket. I am concerned with grease fires as I'm temporarily on the carnivore diet and much meat is cooked daily.

Yes, The wife, having been to the "checklist pages" on the Great Loop site insists that we sit down this week and begin crafting a few checklists ourselves. I've never been a "write it down" type of guy and that contributed to almost sanking our boat. It was otherwise a fun trip. Thanks for you...

Fine weekend.everything worked. I guess when connected to shore power you turn off the inverter. then turn on the Ac switch. Fridge ran great, batteries stayed topped off and I merely use the solar on the two house batteries. We had a great weekend electrically and mechanically but gosh was the...

I dislike electric but can't seen to live without it and so I understand your hesitancy. This is helpful. I have a large switch in the main starting battery box that says Inverter on it. When I turn that on then I can go to the Inverter and turn it on. My Fridge has that same switch on the Ac...

Colby and Ssobol, That now seems to be the way mine is set up. For AC it goes through the AC panel. Where the GFI power source is (behind the fridge) the gfi says "for AC shore power only". Does this imply that I should turn the AC breaker off when not hooked up to shore power? When the AC is...

Okay the charger is on and lit up like a Christmas tree and stopped when all batteries were at 14.1 +/-. great. The DC inverter switch does indeed let juice go to the inverter. More to come....

On my 22 there were 4 batteries and 3 were shot. In addition the gfci was shot. All 4 batteries were replaced and the gfci. So now I need to learn how to turn off the fridge. I have the AC panel turned off, Shore power is not plugged in and the DC inverter in off. So why does my Fridge still...

Tom, If this doesn't cost me my marriage I don't know what will. I've used up all the bread by toasting it. I used up all the gasoline and blew through 13 pots of coffee and I still don't have a boat. Seriously when they get it back to me later in week I will return to this topic. Bob, I'll...

Yes! Solar products have really changed over the years

I'll digest these comments on Wednesday. Seems like the solar panel isn't so bad but it is not wired into the banks but just clipped with alligator clips (I'm slowly learning what I'm looking at. They found that a GFCI is bad. None of the 110V outlets work. All accessories are hooked to the...

Tom you speak clearly on these matters, thank you. I'll check these panels out when I get the boat back or when I hear from the technicians that are looking that stuff up tomorrow. I have only one panel and it seems to be about 10 square ft. Without going online I have now idea what one kWhr is...
