    Electric Boats

    I have a 35lb kayak that would be a fun time with an inline electric motor of good strength.. I would place batts towards the bow and the motor just forward of my seat.

    Reverse polarity

    I think it's ok,, unless you have some sensitive IT.. diodes don't like it... your alternator is probably okay but the built in voltage regulator might be damaged. I'm glad for you that the tunes still function

    Boat not planing

    I've been following this thread and curiosity bit so I googled a 14 ft buccaneer and it made me wonder. I can't see how to find room for a kicker. That's a small boat to hang 2 motors on..can you offer a picture?

    Possibly getting a slip - what to know before saying yes

    I don't like being tied up to a seawall.. especially if there's boat traffic nearby.

    What to do with my two 470's?

    If what I see in your hand is a lifter it's dead. And what you see welded to the lifter is a large piece of the cam... IMHO

    Im fed up with this Boating life.

    Boats have always been needy and require a lot of love.... wish there was a better explanation but I don't have it.. they are a bit like a spoiled woman..LOL

    Outboard lifter was struggling.

    I think the ram needs replacement or rebuilding. It's not helping the effort and just along for the ride.. IMHO

    When I turn the key starter rapidly clicks

    The clicking is a relay the question is why. Usually it's low battery. How much water in the bilge?

    My boat is being a boat . . .

    I no nothing! But will say that the ram on the port side looks a bit rusty. But I do have a couple of non related questions.. What is the rectangle thingy in the center of the transom? Maybe a mount for a pusher..? And will the remote cables freeze up from corrosion?

    Should I be worried

    Give it a look and see if you can move things forward a bit without affecting your turning radius..

    Does your PIR have any adjustment? Maybe you could dial down the sensitivity..

    Does E3 make marine plugs?

    Put an e3 in my power washer last year, a 13hp Honda and it starts on the first pull and runs well, just like it did before I changed it. I have a neighbor with a Harley and he swaps plugs all the time, I think it's running very rich an it needs a good tune..

    My boat is being a boat . . .

    Variation in voltage is not friendly to motion sensors. I had a security light on my home and any time the well pump kicked in the light would come on.. I think a cap would be helpful to smooth things out but that's just a guess..
