OK understand. So it would seem like others above my boat has an EWOF with a simple lead from Dock to a 4 way ebox with each pair of 240AC outlets protected by breakers. So as per your diagram from the regs I have everything except the to vessel ground and galavanic islolator. My DC system is only ever connected to the AC system when I charge the house battery with a CTEK 5.0 amp charger while on board at the dock. The Ctek has built in safeties also. As per the above comments I have a manual start 9.8 outboard which can charge the house batt via rectifier/regulator when connected via

Also didn't someone say the 2014 standard was not adopted...so I assume this diagram while helpful is not ratified?
-
IT...sorry confused ...diagram says optional galvanic isolator...my boat and quite a few others don't have a big heavy diesel or engine beds. Care to explain/discuss what the best option is to achieve compliance. To the best of my limited knowledge my boat doesn't have a vessel ground.

Almanac can be downloaded to a phone or tablet so no reason not to carry. -

Mana Cruising club guides are great

Carbon Foam...see pacific yacht systems on youtube for a DIY breakdown

Double check that unit is covered by warranty in marine application

Have a look in the top left hand corner of the image - frame is broken and bent - has been repaired before - entire seal along hinge edge is detached and hatch frame bent - sheet got under during a gybe when it shouldn't have.

http://crew.org.nz/forum/index.php/topic/10671-oddball-front-hatch-size/ Pretty sure this is the previous owner Chris asking the same question? Anyone got any new ideas re weaver hatch ( Now Magnus/Vetus) oddball sizing? Don't really want to have to start cutting the front of the boat a part to replace with a "square hatch". Have had a look at Cule standard sizing and nothing seems to fit? Neither does there appear to be anything available via Vetus/Magnus in a standard size. Any guidance/thoughts appreciated. Cheers

aqua green or blue is not a tank cleaner - they are waste treatments - sure it will help keep it clean but not cleaner

Clipper- just wondering what splice everyone using and are theydoing terminal eyesplice without cover. 24 carrier 6mm cover looks very tight
-
KM did you do eye splice on yours 'nude' sans cover or with cover also? Just 24 carrier looks very tight.
-
In my experience the epever tracer 10 is a great unit and yes the terminals are adequately sized-unusually they also perform within specification!Reason I caution is I have seen a number of regulators lately where there has either been arcing at the terminal points through poor connection causing the area around the terminal to melt...think about it:( Alternatively, high resistance through incorrect gauge wire leading to visible deformation around terminal points.
-
Really important whatever brand/model you buy that the input/output terminals in the regulator are suitably sized to handle the right gauge wire for the selected panel output current and lenght of wire runs.

Ahh that explains it...only skimmed it.

Why do those look slow to me?

What was Party time...now in New Cal? Pink rig and odd 80's graphics

Sailors rescued from life raft after yacht sinks near Whitianga
splat replied to Fish's topic in MarineTalk
as an aside a life -raft was used in anger down here off Banks Peninsula a few weeks back when a 50ft yacht appeared to have hit a charted rock and sank very quickly, two crew rescued from the raft by local Westpac rescue -
Don't think it's that simple...YNZ has PL,clubs have PL, competitors/entrants have PL.

Scary...not sure about the jump off the floating boat on dusk, hoping to get collected...sea state looks interesting!
