Great info considering I just bough a bunch of used stuff. Thanks for confirming.

Give me 2 to 3 days and I may take you up on that...lol. :D

Looking good Peter. Let us know how it all turns out.

So far it looks like: * Victron Energy MultiPlus-II 2X 120V, 3000VA 12-Volt Pure Sine Wave Inverter and 120 amp Battery Charger * Victron Energy Cerbo GX, System Monitoring * Victron Energy GX Touch 50, Remote Display Screen (Waterproof) * Victron Energy Lynx Distributor * Victron Energy Lynx...

Working on that now. Just returned from the work shop. The only initial issues I saw was a few missing washers and they dyked all the wires going into the Multiplus AC connector. Im sure because they are a PITA to remove. I got all the ends out, cleaned the components up and will start laying...

That's a great point I had not even though of, and most of us have willingly taken that risk.

That was one of the considerations for sure. I dont know how good Victrons warranty is even if I was the original buyer. I have heard mixed feedback. How often I use warranty in general is determined many times by the difficulty of the process and cost of a replacement. Even when warranty is...

Yes. Fingers crossed.

What is your feeling regarding used electronics? I have been in the planning, purchasing and collection phase of the electrical side of the Senator restoration for a year or so. Maybe A bit longer. Thanks to in depth discussions here and elsewhere along with browsing the Victron University the...

I had the Singer 4423 Heavy duty first. Made several interior cushions with it and it worked good. Very refined and smooth. But it is not a walking foot and I would have to push the fabric though in some areas when it got several layers thick. I then got the Blue Sailrite LSZ-1 walking foot...

About three weeks ago I came to the same conclusions. Or at least similar. How the boat is used helps inform the choice and how each might be prioritized or even needed. Here in my local cruising grounds in the summer it is very hot. I will be using the generator and AC routinely and doing...

LOL...you should tell that to the paint crews. They paint all day every day in an open hanger. And prime with chromate with a sanding in between. The paint holds up well and looks great though. Very little warranty rework. I am going to experiment a bit more with rolling or roll and tip and see...

Hello Rick. Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I have several gallons of Jet Glo in Matterhorn white Obviously this is aircraft paint. But would it be a good choice for a boat?

I recently purchased an entire Garmin set up. I went with a complete package including Audio systems, cameras, AP, Radar, remote, sounder, and other small items such a card reader. Even the watch..lol. It should test the claims of whether the latest "connected" systems can actually be used the...

Sold.

CD would you happen to have pictures of that set up? I bought an old sailboat mast as well but I am still trying to decide if and how I want to make it. I may make some type of structure/arch instead.

there was one ahead of you and it looks like the sale will go through. If anything changes I will update. Thanks a bunch.

Lol..you mean credit card companieS!! Just kidding. Its all paid for. The purchases were spread out a bit plus a few connections luckily.

Here is a video covering the Garmin items purchased over the last year or so. I will begin installing these over the coming weeks and months and documenting it on video. There does not seem to be much info out there regarding a complete DIY install of a complete system. So I will attempt to...

I installed mine several years ago and made a video. It may be helpful. I do believe 12k btu will work most days. There are other videos you might find useful too such as generator location etc. https://youtu.be/VttzI6UosnI

SIBERNUT- I have a Westerbeke W13 that puts out 4.4KW. It fits snugly right over the Shaft/stuffing box area. I was at the boat today pulling out all the tools and parts and cleaning out drawers and made a neat discovery. The original owner had these old plates made. Used but still in good...
