There should be a 300ah version of the 460 marine unit coming out very soon as well. I also have 2 of the 300ah Essential black ones. They appear to use a JBD BMS. But I cant yet get them to daisy chain for the Victron FYI. I need to hook those back to the Victron and try a few things.

All great info and much appreciated. I have decided on replacing with new. I will keep this one as emergency spare. I just need to get measurements so I get the same unit. On the bolt tightness...great advice. Not long after acquiring the boat I put a wrench on each nut and some where loose...

Yes..it tested 10ah over stated capacity. I ordered two spare class T fuses of the same p/n that arrived yesterday. They were around $40 each. You know Will likes a battery when he refuses to tear it to pieces..lol. You can tell he did not want to pull it apart at all. On the price they are...

Thanks for the tip. Ill check it out.

Thanks Dave. But if you had enough room you would have just pulled the shaft fwd and coupled it? Anyone ever pull a shaft fwd or change the distance via other means and caused an issue? I wish I could see the condition of the shaft in the shaft log. If I knew it was smooth and in good shape I...

When it failed did it spit the bolts out or did they just rattle together and make a racket? Any other damage except the shaft saver? Thanks for the reply.

Gotta love that!

I do have a very very slight vibration only at a few RPM ranges. I have not put a dial indicator on this shaft yet to see how true it is. To my naked eye it looks pretty good. Why did you need spacers? Were you not able to just pull that shaft fwd 1 inch? Pretty sure I have room to do that...

Thanks RTF. 18 years x2 is a pretty good track record. That make me want to lean towards replacing it with a new one and keep this one as an emergency spare. One thing I forgot to mention is upon close inspection it seems like there may be internal separations. You may have seen when urethane...

I have read previous threads on the topic. Some like them some dont. But has anyone had one and then had it fail? Either fail from the prop hitting something or just fail in general? I am interested in HOW they fail. Has there been any new thoughts on the matter...

These dang discussions... I was just at Ace Hardware and they had the Milwaukee pack out system in stock. I took a close look at it again. The one thing I wanted to do was to stand on it. It held my weight very easily. Could probably support 2 times my weight. My Ryobi system I have stood on...

When I started trying Chinese wiring stuff I bought a cross section of various brands to try. Wirefi has been fantastic in just about everything. The quality is pretty good.

At this point in time that is my philosophy too but add the set like the Gear Wrench. I have a combination of tool bags + the packout roll around + a system like the Gear Wrench set. The tool bags do 75% of all work. The Gear Wrench type set up contains all the other tools that you might need...

You also need a set of these. Some of each style. These are a new generation of tools and light years ahead of channel locks or crescent wrenches (although you still need a couple of crescent wrenches.)...

That Gear Wrench set is pretty good and its a pretty good choice. Check out a comparison recently done by Project Farm. Ill post it below. I am a lifelong mechanic with a massive amount of tools. But for the boat I bought a similar set (craftsman) that packs and carries well. Nice choice. One...

PM sent for handrail parts. Too bad I'm not closer. Would love to rummage around.

Update on this once again. The GC100 camera has been working since I did the update. But I have now found that for some off reason....when underway...it will occasionally crap out again. Which stinks because its in the engine room. I am just going to get rid of it in favor of another GC200...

The one I have has less resolution than what you describe and I find it more than adequate. I tell you what, I wont be caught without one again. You have a different feeling about a boat with old wiri g after you scan it, find some number of problems you would not have seen otherwise, fix those...

Wow....looks like a bargain!!

Thats how the Garmin works too.

I see you are in Canada so I dont know exactly how the info below applies. But ill just throw these out there for reference. Northern Tool is the only place I can think of that you might get a discount. Currently they have the 2200i for $1199 and you get a $200 gift card back. Great if you...

Got the replacement 923XSV today. Used a Victron cable from the Cerbo gx ethernet port to the Garmin network port. About 1 minute later the Victron icon showed up and everything was seamless. No special cables no POE blocker. Just plug and play.

Thanks Greg. I have some info from the NMEA2k cable. But the Victron App would never show up on the Garmin. I had been through the troubleshooting a dozen times and still nothing. I suspected a Garmin ethernet port issue. It wasn't until I brought this particular unit, which is the plotter for...

Wow. Pretty darn cool.

Just a follow up on this. It turns out when I put the 923xsv back on the boat in the upper helm position it would not be recognized by the device list and network. It was the Garmin ethernet port all along. Called Garmin for troubleshooting and a very pleasant and helpful tech ran through a few...
