We have a fiberglass boat.

Will do.

Thanks for your reply. We do have a charger. but I can't remember what size. Do you mean that the charger has a separate circuit directly to the fridge, and it can run the fridge at the same time that it is charging the batteries, or that the charger charges the batteries, and the fridge runs...

Spent the weekend on our new '79 Prairie trawler in massive rainstorm and heavy wind. I have to say, we were cozy! But...both cabins had substantial leaking (very little from the windows, but some), but the side walls up under the overhang around the beds leaked and got the mattresses pretty...

Just bought our 1979 36' Prairie trawler 4 wks ago. It has the original refrigerator. 2 questions. #1- We seem to only be able to run the fridge on battery power but we were told it would do both. When we put the boat on shore power it doesn't work. Are we not clicking a button correctly? Is...

I can't figure out how to share photos. I did create a photo album with 3 pics so far.

Thanks. We haven't purchased the trawler yet but we're seeing that we would rarely run the boat at 8k. 2.5GPH does seem about right. The seller had first told us 6GPH and we felt for sure that was wrong. Then we got a text from them a short while ago and they said 3GPH.

Prairie 36 GPH? Looking at a 1979 prairie works 36 today. Two 85 horse power Perkins engines. We are wondering what the GPH is on this boat at 8 knots.
