Re: Batteries starting to get weak - MMM - What to do -

However, It seems to me that with access to solar or other power a charger should be able to be programmed to perfectly care for a battery,

Re: deck leak
We have also experienced a small deck leak, albeit forward of yours.
What I have found is the screws that hold in the metal plating associated with the windows can work loose a little bit, allowing

Re: Wind Vane Autopilot
Hi Bernd,
If you don't have a solar arch that sticks out over your stern, you should look at the Hydrovane option. They have brackets that work well on the many different stern configurations and

Re: Fuel Line
Mark,
Can you be more specific on which copper fuel line you are talking about? If so, let me know I will try to take a measurement for you.

Porter,
That's part of the issue. If you read each manufacturers instructions for how to store their LiFePO4 batteries you will get very different answers. There is some level of commonality

Re: Additional filter in raw water intake for the engine before the heat exchanger
Joerg,
Good point. There should be two flushing attachment points on the engine, one just after the water pump and one before the exhaust so you can run a flush, with a barnacle slash calcium cleaning

Re: Batteries starting to get weak - MMM - What to do -
Hello,
what I understood is that these LiFePO4 batteries don’t like to be for days, weeks ...months at 100%SOC. Where the 50-60% is preferable for storage. A little of a few % charge once a month

Re: Anchor sizing
There is an old rule of thumb. For every 9 to 10 ft of boat you need 1/8 inch of chain. So for a 53 ft boat that suggests say 5/8 of an inch chain.
That rule of thumb was based on the old grade 30

My bilge switch is an APEM On-Off switch with long toggle. Unfortunately the 631xxxx or 636xxxx number is no longer readable...

To answer all your suggestions. It’s difficult to tell if I increase speed slowly whether it makes a difference. It’s not obvious but I think it
