As far as my understanding goes, that is not accurate. The purpose of a GFCI is to detect a differential in current flow between Hot and Neutral of greater than approx 5 mA, and trip the interrupter within the GFCI device itself. Ground does not enter into this process. If for some reason the...

Do you have a clamp-on multimeter? If not, get one. You need to be wayy past the point of guessing or assuming what’s going on by now. Something like this would suffice for the time being https://a.co/d/1i0PeFb. You can then positively identify what currents are flowing from or to where.

As far as I know, Rocna (Vulcan) is owned by CMPGroup https://cmpgroup.net/industries/rocna-anchors/. Used to be Canada Metals.

Thanks for the info. Which dome? I’ve got the RayMarine HD which I believe is 24”. I was erroneously using some dated info on the rectangular dish that suggested it would not fit inside. I just measured mine and see that it is 23” on the diagonal so that should fit. But not sure about the height...

Which Dishy, the old round one? And which dome? Im looking to do the same.

:):)

I’ve got the AA150. Installed it along with my new Lofrans X2. Works just fine.

I have 5 A/C units, and boat came with just one large 240V pump. I’d probably use at least two if I were to do it from scratch to build in some inherent backup. When I installed my watermaker a couple years ago I rebuilt the manifold to add the 6th takeoff for the watermaker. I used PVC for...

What am I missing here? If I hit the starboard side of a vessel then I was the stand on vessel, no? (Less the very small percentage allowed for “it depends”).

Lots of batteries die without getting hot and bulgie. I think you need to do some more trouble shooting before you replace the battery and have the new one go hot and bulgie. My first guess would be a charging problem; and within that category I’d be suspicious of the generator’s...

I believe carbon foam was like a trade name incorporated by FireFly. The technology being represented is adding carbon to the lead to mitigate the PSOC problem. The are several mfrs offering lead carbon AGM batteries, including Victron. I recently purchased a set of L16 lead carbon from a local...

The BMV-702 does not have built-in Bluetooth. You need to use a BT dongle (see attached photo). It sounds like your 702 is fundamentally not installed correctly. It comes with a shunt, and the shunt is to be connected between the battery bank (usually house bank) and the -ve distribution post...

You can reduce idle consumption significantly by using AES. See here for eg

Dish’s problem is not StarLink, it’s its own sh1tty customer service and business model. Same as cable/broadcast TV in general. Forcing customers to buy a bunch of channels they don’t want just to get the one they do (channel groups), service contracts for two years, no suspending permitted, and...
