    House Battery charging question

    From what I can find it will help but the Gen will not put out enough "IF" the batteries need no more then 4.6 AMP (80% load) from the Gen to keep the batteries charged. Your charger (model TC4012) can draw up to 7.7 AMPs. There is always efficiency loss when changing from DC to AC or the...

    1995 Searay 400 express cruiser - maintenance advice requested...

    I would recommend replacing the pickup. Don't know if it was damaged by hitting something or by loading on a trailer incorrectly. Remove the hose and seacock, and ground wire, then remove the nut. After that it will take some doing to get the fitting out. Clean are repair the hole, including...

    safety chain plate for light trailer...

    Have a few ideas: If you can find a ball with long shank, just drill a hole thru the center and bolt on. If there is a place under the bumper that this plate could be welded to or a shackle Have any place you could wrap a piece of chain around the rear? I guess you don't want to drill two...

    Best way to move dirt?

    I'll keep looking but this is my last try for a visual. Image on the left is just look sort of straight but front board is lower then back. Keep in mind just an illustration, boards are flat and level to one another. Image on the right shows land slope on the bottom in orange. The green pole...

    Best way to move dirt?

    Hope my second post clears it up for you. This works at any distance, even a mile away, but may be to much for under 30 foot

    5.7 has spark question

    You saying you have spark, just maybe not good spark. Since your getting spark I don't see it being a distributer issue. Check for spark by pulling the coil wire off and see if it comes steady, if it is steady I would go back to the fuel side. Even a weak spark will set off gas unless your...

    AGM And Wetcell Battery Charging

    I would suggest disconnecting one of the start batteries from the 3-bank isolator along with corresponding ALT connection, My guess would be the house Bat is in the middle of the isolator and start Bat's are on the outside. Don't take my assumption you need to verify. The ALT sense lead comes...

    Trailer Wheel Coming off

    Not being there to look closer, my opinion is get a new axle. While you could probably get the inner race of the bearings to seat sufficiently enough with some work to not cause an issue, I don't think you will be able to get the seal to seat properly. First time in the water it may leak and...

    Best way to move dirt?

    That's a scraper. If you can afford the rate it would make real short work of the project. It takes a permit to move it unless he can drive it off road to your place Keep in mind, they do flat work, so they may not do so well in a pond but it is worth asking

    AGM And Wetcell Battery Charging

    The isolator is normally connected to the output of one ALT and then goes to the start bat and house bat. Another way of charging the AGM is changing the 2-bank isolator to a 3-bank This is how my Formula is connected and I have only on engine

    AGM And Wetcell Battery Charging

    OK, I guess. Something doesn't add up between the house the statement of charger does not charge the Gen battery. This will work, use an ACR and where the house battery is listed use it as your AGM's.

    What happened to the beeper

    Well lets retry this with more info. Accomplished some tracing and ringing out of wiring and I might be getting close to the answer. If I understand it correctly there are two different MEFI3 modules. The early modules used pin J1-4 or J1-6 and may have been connected together internally to send...
