Stus-List Battery question

I live aboard 8 months a year, the other 4 months all electric power is turned off. The boat put away on the hard. I have 2 300 Ah house banks. They are both in use all the time. Charging is accomplished by 440 watts of solar, or the alternator.  My start battery is only charged by the

Stus-List Battery question for LF38 owners

I'm helping a friend move his LF38 to NC, and along the way we are making up a project list. The boat will be used for live aboard cruising. The current setup has one new start battery as bank 1, and two old batteries in parallel as the house bank 2. The old house batteries need to be replaced

Re: Stus-List Battery question for LF38 owners

There are two different layouts for LF38's--one has a starboard nav station (like mine) and I think Fred's has two quarter berths--one on port and the other on starboard. The layout will affect where you will have available storage for more batteries... Bob On Aug 19, 2015, at 10:45 AM,

Re: Stus-List Battery question for LF38 owners

My CC 37 has the house batteries in about that same place. Easy to get to. The only issue is that between batteries, inverter, radome etc, the boat sits a little low in the stern, leading to growth on the gel coat just above the bottom paint. My solution was to move to freshwater! Bill

Re: Stus-List Battery question for LF38 owners

Here are some pics of my installation for the extra 2 batteries: http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag50/RainyDays99/Platforminstallation_zpsd2585075.jpg http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag50/RainyDays99/Completedbatteryinstallation_zpsd03c7fa3.jpg Bob On Aug 19, 2015, at 10:20 AM, Robert

Re: Stus-List Battery question for LF38 owners

Rick — I have a single start battery in a box on the shelf to port of the engine; then two Trojan T105 golf-cart batteries in series in a Blue Sea dual battery box under the forward inboard part of the port quarterberth. If I do a little carpentry, I’ll be able to put one more Blue Sea box

Re: Stus-List Battery question for LF38 owners

Not sure about space underneath the quarter-berth on a LF38 but like Bill on “Starfire”, the 37’ has a similar setup. I’ve rebuilt http://roninrebuild.blogspot.com/2014/02/starting-battery-locker-redesign.html my starter battery area underneath the quarter-berth and although I only have a

Re: Stus-List Battery question for LF38 owners

I put two extra batteries on a shelf I build in the starboard cockpit locker against the forward bulkhead. I used sealed batteries throughout so those two that are a bitch to get to won't need much attention. Bob On Aug 19, 2015, at 10:14 AM, Rick Brass via CnC-List wrote: I'm helping a

Re: Stus-List Battery question for LF38 owners

If this LF38 is being setup for a cruising livaboard situation, things like refrigeration, solar panels, and a big battery bank will be important. Even more fuel capacity than the original tank in the stern will be helpful. Bob Bob Boyer S/V Rainy Days / Annapolis MD 1983 CC Landfall 38 -

Re: Stus-List Battery question for LF38 owners

On Pegasus I have the hot water heater under the port q-berth but soon to be mover further aft, I will add a bulkhead to keep the heat away from the battery and I will put a house battery there. either a pair of 6 volts or a 4d. had one next to the heater and cooked it. I also have a pair of 6vots

Re: Stus-List Battery question for LF38 owners

Doug: You really don't need two batteries for starting--one Group 24 should do it. The old YANMAR starters are dinosaurs in terms of their energy usage but you should still be OK with one battery. Last summer I changed my starter to a newer type of starter (not YANMAR brand) and greatly

Re: Stus-List Battery question for LF38 owners

Bob — the starboard cockpit locker on my boat (the dual quarterberth version) is MUCH larger than the silly little port locker. The berth itself only runs partway aft in that space, and outboard; the locker accesses the water heater (forward), the entire starboard side of the engine, and back

Re: Stus-List Battery question for LF38 owners

Fred: You know, I was on board a LF38 with your layout just recently and I never opened the starboard cockpit locker. I'm glad you have more space there than I imagined! Bob Sent from my iPhone, Bob Boyer On Aug 19, 2015, at 3:04 PM, Frederick G Street via CnC-List cnc-list@cnc-list.com
