Looking for a recommendation for tonight. 44’, 30 amp, strong wifi. Need a run to the grocery store as well! Anyone? Thanks Z

Thanks for all of the input. I have narrowed it down to a poor connection on the 30amp house side and have now switched over to the 50 amp side with clean and stable power. As for the heaters, we have determined cheep heaters with cheep wiring. No more too it than that. Reworded one with a...

Great note. Thank you for your input

Thanks, sage advice. I will try that

Cold at home, suspect you are on the right track with your analysis. Not sure where to start. Someone mentioned outlets are old and need replacing. I might swap one out and see what results yield.

Thanks for the quick reply sir. I have considered going to the 50amp side, however, I need to understand the problem before making that move. Concur with your heater comment, nonetheless, this does not answer the hot power cord issue. Thanks again. Zoom

Looking for electrical coaching SVP ! I have just noticed an electrical issue that I am quite concerned about. My 30 amp shore power cord has scorched one of the three prongs while at the same time, I have two on-board electrical heaters (new) and both cords are quite hot after being plugged in...

I guess I should have narrowed this down a little. Under $2m and undeR 60'.

The debate is ongoing and decided that the aggregate average would lay within the first 30 answers

Ok, the debate continues...... My friend and I are wrestling over the age old question "what is the best blue water trawler". My forum question is, who has seen the best side by side comparison for blue water trawlers? This should be enough for me to enjoy my Blue Lable!

I did let it cool, pushed reset on the panel...not a gig. Checked the inline fuse, it was ok, replaced it anyway. Light on the panel comes on when selected, which tells me it is between the switch and the motor. I am leaning to motor failure at this point. Boat was on the hard for the last...

It appears I may have overworked my windlass while on the hook yesterday. Powered up, everything was fine, began to recover and notices that my anchor was coming up with half of Bonavista Bay attached. Lowered back in the water, went astern and cleaned the muck off. Completed the evolution and...

Hi Folks, My boat is in the water and I have a vibration port side (suspect cutlass bearing in the shaft). Twin Cummins 220's....does anyone know if there is a standard shaft size? 2", 2.5" ? Thanks Jim

Hello folks, 88 Tradwinds 43 - Could someone please school me on the power system? Particularly shore power. I drained the batteries yesterday on my "new to me vessel" while I had shore power selected? Obviously I do not have the proper shore power cable. Should it be 120v 30amp? Thanks in...

Thanks all, I am running Cummins. No cloudy fuel through the sight gauges, so I will flash up and slip with extra filters and hope my next post is not from "the hook". Best regards Zoomie !

Hello folks; My Vessel has been on the hard for two seasons now with two full tanks. I am looking for suggestions as to conditioning recommendations. Or, if I should condition. New filters and flash up? Thoughts? Thanks

Like most new owners, I am on the vertical learning curve. If anybody has or have developed schematic/hand drawn diagrams of systems (electrical, septic, fuel etc) and would consider sharing, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Zoomie

Paul, Ok, now you know that I am a little electronically inept as I misplaced my login information for Virginia's Run. Nonetheless, I am now reincarnated and present myself as Zoomie. Thanks for the Respons and I will get photos to you soon. , Jim
