Re: Stus-List Universal / Westerbeke Sherwood raw water pump upgrade

Swapped the Sherwood out with the Orberdorfer. Only had to cut about 1/8 inch of the barb off the inlet elbow. Straightforward job. Time to go sailing. Dennis C. Touché 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 4, 2018, at 6:58 AM, Dennis C. wrote: > >

Re: Stus-List Mast sensor upgrade experience requested

If you are replacing the VHF wire with a pre-made connector for the top (and you should), you have to feed from the top down. I re-wired my mast when it was down and used a variation of Josh's method. I taped a small line to the old wire and then taped the new wire to the string so I pulled the

Re: Stus-List Mast sensor upgrade experience requested

Normally a conduit is riveted to the forward side of the mast. You'll probably want to have a service disconnect terminal block at the base of the mast if it doesn't already exist. Any existing spade/ring terminals will probably need to be cut off before pulling the existing cable out. Secure a

Stus-List Mast sensor upgrade experience requested

34-36R with a pretty skinny tall mast…anybody have any experience upgrading the wind sensor and VHF while the mast is in-place? I need to know if there’s a conduit running and what to expect as I may be the person scaling the mast and I want to make the least number of trips to the top?

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Marine Batteries

AGMs need to be topped off to 100%. Not every single use, but they will die young if used on a boat without shore power or solar. We sailors seldom motor enough to get that last 10% in. For a boat used for weekends and holidays on shore power with a modern charger set to AGM voltages, they

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Marine Batteries

That is sort-of backwards. I have gel batteries. They are *very* sensitive to overcharging and can die very fast from too much voltage. OTOH AGMs will tolerate higher charging voltages, hence their popularity as drop-in replacements in airplanes, boats, and cars, but die pretty fast from

Re: Stus-List Marine Batteries

In my view the answer depends on how you intend to use the boat. If you are set up for cruising and need a lot of power, that’s one thing. If your power demands are not that high and you take relatively short trips like I do (normally less than eight hours; never more than 18 hours before the

Re: Stus-List Marine Batteries

+1 on the Trojan golf cart batteries; that’s typically what I spec’ed when doing marine electrical/electronics work for a living several years ago. Really good longevity, and they stay very consistent over their lifetime if cared for properly. Probably the best value out there. — Fred Fred

Re: Stus-List Marine Batteries

Glen Don’t be scarred away from AGMs. Persuasion came with 2-4d AGMs and a Group 31 starter. I replaced the Group 31 about 6 years ago from Canadian tire, still going. The important factor here is to charge them properly. I would say your are good to go as you already have AGMs. Mike C

Glen, A few years back and after a lot of Internet research, I installed a bank of flooded Trojan T-105 6V golf-cart batteries. A little pricey to be sure, but they have been amazing. http://www.trojanbattery.com/product/t-105/ Every few

Re: Stus-List Marine Batteries

I would suggest thinking very hard if you need AGMs. They are more expensive and require much better management and maintenance (i.e. quite specific charging regime). In normal use, they won't last longer, either. If you are forced to have a battery in the enclosed compartment (in your cabin),

If your charging voltages are all set up for AGMs and you want to save cash, go to Sam's Club. They have Duracell branded group 31 AGMs for a really good price, maybe as low as $180. I confirmed with East-Penn Deka that they are the exact same thing they sell themselves and the exact same thing

Probably but since Oberdorfer offers the 837 model with shortened barbs, I think cutting one of the barbs will work fine. Plan to install it this afternoon. Will report back. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Tue, Apr 3, 2018 at 11:16 PM, Russ & Melody via CnC-List <
