Re: New 175 am alternator
Stephan,
175 amps of 24 volts is a lot, but if you do change to a bigger alternator, you will likely need to increase the size of the wire from the battery bank switch to the 24-volt alternator. You

The engine is still the original Yanmar 75hp from 2002.
Is there anyone with good

.Re: LiFePO4 Conversion on sv BeBe - SM#387
Maybe I missed it but does the ability to put 12 lithiums in our SM Redline models solve the high amp problem?? In theory the 4 extra 31 series provide 50% more amp capacity.
Somewhat related. On our

Re: A question about coppercoat
Hi Arnold,
We have had no need to clean and grind Coppercoat in the ten years that we have had it , other than occasionally wiping off slime after a few months which we can do swimming.
Have a look

We’ve only sanded once, 4 days after application. That was 7 years ago.

Re: A question about coppercoat
We have hauled every hurricane season to store our boat. CC is a hard epoxy. One nice feature is, when cleaning slime, you can take a 6” metal putty knife to scrape it with no ill effects. Straps

Re: A question about coppercoat
From my point of view, the elementary problem is that you still have to go to the crane every year to clean it and grind it again so that it works.
Of course, this increases the costs if you don't

Re: A question about coppercoat
CopperCoat has been the least expensive antifoul I’ve ever used. Spread that “high” cost across 10 or more years....

Yes, CC can be applied over barrier coat. Follow their directions.
I applied four coats as they directed. The coats go on thin and it doesn’t look right until the second or third coat.
I can’t

Craig, That sounds expensive, but I spent $1500.00 on bottom paint a couple of years ago. If you got six years for $2300. ,that would work out pretty well,if it works for you ,seems to have had

Hi Pat - check out coppercoatusa.com - they list an SM as needing 18 "Kits" for $2340. Site is a "must read and study". It is a totally different animal than conventional bottom paint and requires 4

Re: A question about coppercoat
Matt, How many coats of CC do you apply. I am fairing some holes in my gel coat and then plan to overcoat with Interprotect 2000. Can CC be applied over a barrier coat?
Thanks,

Re: A question about coppercoat
We applied CC ourselves.
It’s not easy.
First, CC is not paint. It is a 2 part epoxy with copper powder (more like dust) mixed in. Two factors to deal with:
1) the copper does not stay in

Re: A question about coppercoat
We put our own copper coat on in Trinidad, just the two of us. In the heat it did need thinning down. We did a third of the hull at a time. We did not put a barrier coat on as it is an epoxy mixture
