I ended up installing a CPT AP on my boat. It's a stand alone wheel based system but was under $3k.

I think an AP is nice to have and possibly a necessity for longer trips. For me the helm position is an important factor. I've had a few boats where I need stand when using the wheel and when I sit back and relax I can't reach the wheel. On these boats I used the AP all the time. My current...

The eco-worthy manual is available under learn > download on their website. https://cdn.shopifycdn.net/s/files/1/0253/9752/6580/files/12V100AH_12V150AH_24V100AH_48V50AH.pdf?v=1673075852 I'm using KiloVolt batteries from Alte which is primarily for solar homes. Their charge settings have...

Those numbers seem high to me. I wouldn't normally question the manufacturer but their manual lists a charge voltage of 14.6. but also states the BMS will trip on over voltage at 14.5 - 14.6. If the BMS disconnects the batteries at 14.5 at the dock it probably isn't going to cause any...

I also configure the shore charger to float at 13.2 and alternator to float at 13.5. Leaving the dock at 70% is much better than arriving at an anchorage at 70%. I have a sailboat now so leaving the dock near 100% is also important for me. I just cycle the inverter/charger on and off an hour or...

I set the AC charger float at 13.4 and alternator float at 13.5 or 13.6. I have some small DC loads at the dock so floating at 13.4 maintains about 80% the majority of the time. When underway I don't want to arrive at the anchorage at 80% so I float higher to keep the batteries full.

Apple silicon macs have been out for two years now. Has anyone heard if TimeZero, CE, or any other iOS apps have plans to release a version that will also run on MacOS?

I had the same problem with a boat I purchased recently and did the same as Cigatoo. In installed a Whale Gulper which runs first also with a Water Witch. The Rule is in the same place but I changed the float switch with another Water Witch that is about 3 inches higher than the Water Witch for...

I'm currently working with Pete McGonagle at Swiftsure Yachts. I meet him a few years ago and am closing on a purchase next week. The experience has been excellent and the I've never seen an entire office work as a team like they do. They tend to have more sailboat listings but many of the...

The EP Carry is great and probably priced similar to a salt water rated trolling motor. The EP Carry uses a 24v 10 ah battery from K2 Energy. If using a trolling motor a similar lithium could work. Most of my trips are a few hundred yards to the share, I guess I could row, and something like...

I have a friend with an ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 that likes it. It'a very quiet and similar power to a 3 HP gas outboard. On his 9' RIB with an inflatable floor it does about 4.5 knots.

Hi Greg, There was a video from Pacific Yacht Systems that discussed his use of solar and an EFOY fuel cell on his boat in the PNW. Basically solar to charge in the summer and EFOY in the off season. https://youtu.be/QjmuiQ6eVI0?t=120 He also estimates in the PNW in the summer you will get...

I purchased a Vesper Cortex about a month ago and so far happy with the product. I purchased an older boat with older electronics earlier this year so I needed most of the functionality it provided. The existing VHF sounds great but doesn't even support distress/DSC. I had AIS and monitoring on...
