Well, I thought my system was a little overkill; Mastervolt 200/4000 charger/inverter with a 840aH battery bank. But now all I can say is, Larry, you got it going on!

Buster that makes sense. I haven't changed it in approx. 100 hrs. That will be corrected this weekend. I'll let everyone know if that solves the problem. Thanks everyone.

Larry, it looks like you have T605s; did you have any trouble getting the lugs to fit the stud height?

Voltage is additive in series, amps in parallel. Dhays, you're right the feeders should be connected on opposite ends. But Larry has really got on my mad side; where did you get those white battery boxes. I've got the same boxes in black; didn't know there was a white opposition. LOL.

Well I filled it to the correct level about a year ago when I changed the oil. Everything has been fine up till now. That's what has me confused, this just started a couple weeks ago. But I will check it anyway for peace of mind.

Just started replacing all the batteries for my inverter. I had 6 gp31 AGM, changing to 8 6v trojans T-605. The two main feeder cables should stay the same; 2/0. But I need to recalculate the inner connect cables to series the two 6v together and the cable size for paralleling all the pairs...

My injector pump has just started dripping a small amount of oil from what I think is the vent; the sheet metal dome thing on the side of the pump. It only drips if I run above 1600 rpm; I think. I've never went down an checked it when underway. Any suggestions? Oh, engine is a FL 120. I...

Finally got the raw water pump back together yesterday. Learned a few lessons along the way. #1- The shaft press out from the impeller side (put press on the impeller side and remove (exit) from the gear side. Leave bearings, etc. on the shaft of the gear side. #2- Don't remove the seal on the...

Smart move, you'll never regret it. Have fun life is short.

I have a boat that matches yours; installed a Sidepower last year. It works great and has never given me a problem. I went with the 12v to avoid separate charger, etc. Everything that has been posted here is spot on. The yard that did the job calculated I needed the SE 80/185T. When I back out...

HopCar, that is the pump. I tried on a press yesterday but was afraid I was doing something wrong when it didn't move. Now That I'm certain which way to press it I'll try again tonight. I'll keep everyone updated. Thanks for the help.

Can someone PLEASE tell me how to rebuild a Jabsco raw water pump on a FL120. I bought the kit thinking it would be a no brainer. Wrong. I've got the pump off the engine and the impeller side disassembled. Does the shaft have to be pressed out? If so, which direction. I put a lot of...

I'd like to toss another fly in the soup. I'm also looking for a live aboard cruiser. But after reading another post on this site, something very important was brought to my attention. "I'm not getting any younger." So, can anyone suggest a 48-53 footer with a standup engine room? I've been...

I have a chain and shaft steering system. After I bought the boat the AP failed and that was my excuse to upgrade. Couldn't find an AP for a 35 yr. old system so was going to install hydraulic system. Then I found that Raymarine had a mechanical drive AP. I installed it and after five years...

By the way, it's a Lehman Ford 120 engine.

There is some type of sending unit on the port side of my engine just to the rear and slightly below the oil pressure sender. I'm thinking it is a oil temp sender. It has never been connected to anything as far as I know. I'll try to get some pics posted this weekend. Any guesses what it...

Can anyone offer any advice on programing a MassCombi? The interface I ordered is in, so I'm going to try to set my MV Combi this weekend so the inverter will shut down when my SOC drops to 80%. I think the factory setting is 50%. My house bank is 6 AGM with a total of 630aH. I haven't...

Now I have a e7d RM on the FB for chart plotting, etc.. It has only one camera input. My question is, if I want to connect say three cameras what equipment do I need. Or, can this even be done without upgrading to the larger RM display?

Great news; I installed a new external GPS antenna and the problem is solved. It also seemed to improve the performance of stuff like the chart, etc. Money well spent.

Reading is coming from e7D which is on the FB with a clear view of the sky. RM has three speed settings, I've tried all with no improvement. A external antenna may solve the problem. But, chart, heading, etc. works OK. So, I am thinking the GPS and location isn't the problem. But I may be...

My SOG reading isn't stable at all. It varies from 6 kt. to 10 kt. at tenth of a kt. increments in a matter of seconds. The readings are being taken in calm conditions. The equipment is all Ray Marine; e7D and auto pilot head unit. Has anyone out there had this problem. The speed is being...

Yep, that's it.

Has anyone tried the clay that is on the market? I just bought a pack; wasn't any directions on the box. Does it work?

Meridian, You were on the mark. The nut was only finger tight. I followed your instructions; RTV, 200+ torque, etc. Haven't taken a test run yet; ugly weather. But, not a drop of fluid in the pan after several days now. A couple questions though. One, the nut took a 1 11/16 socket but has...

This is great info Terry. Seal is on the way from AD. I ordered a 3/4 drive socket set today. Didn't have a socket that large in my tools. I'll keep you posted.
