    Rulemate 500 constant draw.

    Um working on the wiring in my boat to see why my battrys keep dying. I narrowed it down to stereo and bilge pump. Steneo was an easy fix. Hard wired switch in the main supply instead of using the remote wire. The bilge pump is odd. It is drawing .002 amps on the float switch wire side...

    Small Batteries vs a Large Battery

    I have a guy who gets 12 volt mobility scooter batteries from insurance companies. They are 6 months old and have an expected life of 7 years. They have a capacity of 35ah. My thought was to get 6 of them and wire them in parallel. This will give me 210 ah of 12 volt juice for the stereo and...

    Solar power for the Stereo on Pontoon boat.

    Im building a list for my party boat rebuild and have an idea on the battery/ stereo area. I am going to use a 300/4 channel amp for the power which will run off my cell phone. This will drive 4 6.5's in home made PVC tubes up on the bimini. I have a very similar set up in my bow rider and it...

    How to keep an eye on Battery with stereo running while anchored

    I was wondering if there is a way to keep an eye on the battery through a voltage gauge while anchored to see if it is draining too low. My depth finder has voltage but I havent used that as a gauge for the radio because I figured I would need to l know how much amps the battery has left.

    What kind of wood to make Bows

    I would like to make some bows for my mooring cover. Right now I have a tube that keeps it from pooling water but its not venting like I would like it too. I need to create a tunnel from the wind shield back so the back is open and can allow for air to move through the boat but rain can't get...

    Can I use Big Box valve for gasoline.

    Last night I went to switch over to my built in tank on the boat. The inline valve I have that is used to prevent the fuel from coming out of the built in tank when not in use was stuck. I worked it a little and it broke free. Well the spline broke free from the valve so it is stuck in the...

    Painting Aluminum boat

    While doing my transom replacement this weekend I was thinking this may be a good time to paint the splash well and the transom while the motor is off. I plan to paint the whole boat next spring but I would rather not pull the motor again. The boat is painted already but the paint is stained...

    Evinrude Lower Unit Oil Question

    I can't remember if i changed the oil on my lower unit in the fall. It was a whirl wind of getting the new house ready for the winter, getting married, honeymoon, and getting the boat out of the water after its first season in a wet slip. To be safe rather than sorry I went out and got some...
