    Boat Wiring Help Needed!

    1. Putting Bats in parallel is no issue to the ACR, just makes it a bigger bat. You have 2 ACRs both charging the house bats, and I would not do that. Use only one side. I would use a 3 bank charger instead of 2. 2. Your ALT is 55A so 100A is more then enough on positives, but IMO having...

    LED Bulb trips breaker

    Yes the the breakers are next to one another and the NEC changed many years ago to do away with 3 wire circuits. Every time the breaker pops I go back around and try to find if there is another circuit I might have missed. Before this started it was at least 15 years of no issues. Turned the...

    Crownline 180br 2010 wiring help

    Speed-o comes from a rubber tube from the drive to the meter. Check the drive hole (very small on front edge of drive) if its clean. Also see if the line from the lower drive to the transom is connected. If all connected, gauge may be the issue Your boat has next to nothing which will help...

    2006 Volvo 5.7 osi-d crank no start

    I would if it was mine. Stuck valve, broken rings, head gasket tells me to pull the head. Two dead cylinders would be an issue with unburned gas out the exhaust, but it isn't the reason it won't start

    2006 Volvo 5.7 osi-d crank no start

    It takes a test gauge set to do it correctly https://www.amazon.com/OTC-5609-Cylinder-Leakage-Tester/dp/B0030EVL60 Can do a quick not as accurate by bringing the cylinder 3 and then later 5 up to TDC compression stroke. Connect a air chuck to the spark plug hole and put compressed air in, then...

    LED Bulb trips breaker

    I'm saying it LOUD so it might rear its head again if its still there. I think "again" I got it. It was the second outside fan. OK I said it, I'm waiting :rolleyes:

    LED Bulb trips breaker

    Defiantly chasing a ghost A while back I swapped breakers to rule that out Did find there are 8 outlets on this one feed. Never would have put that many on it, but that said most have nothing plugged into them. Two of the outlets feed the 2 other outside ceiling fans. They have been OFF for...

    2006 Volvo 5.7 osi-d crank no start

    The drive while a bit heavy its a 30 minute job to pull the drive. Rotating the prop will tell you nothing unless the drive is in bad shape. Can rotate the prop and it should feel very smooth and real easy to rotate There are 6 nuts holding the drive, and clips on the hydraulic trim cylinders...

    2006 Volvo 5.7 osi-d crank no start

    ok, that is what VP "mostly" calls a start assist relay (Merc slave relay). If it isn't working the motor will not crank. Yours does so that's not the issue Agree, if the drive is in good shape there would be very little resistance to rotating the motor. The crank driven water pump would...

    2006 Volvo 5.7 osi-d crank no start

    Need to clarify which relay. The starter relay (boat its a slave relay) energizes the starter solenoid on the starter. If the relay doesn't energize then the starter doesn't spin

    LED Bulb trips breaker

    Yes, several times. The house was built in 69 and my Dad (union electrician) and I help wire it for my Uncle. This was a time when Federal pacific breakers were ok, and using 12-3 with ground so one common with 2 hots. About 20 years ago I had the breaker panel replaced to Square D. I added...

    2006 Volvo 5.7 osi-d crank no start

    With all the plugs out, while it will be a bit hard it should turn. The raw water pump does have a bit of friction. Other then that it might be the outdrive. The OD should turn easy by hand unless there is an issue there

    LED Bulb trips breaker

    Your right and I was still puzzled by how the bulb could still do it. Being a 3-way socket and the bulb base being really close to the offset pin was how it maybe could have done it. Then last night it popped again. Unplug everything and with only the living room ceiling fan connected it did...
