Hello All: I do several long, offshore trips a year and would like to know exactly my fuel burn rate and remaining fuel. I have been considering the Maretron fuel monitoring system for my twin diesel Mainship 390. For a twin, I would need two displays, two fuel monitors, four flow sensors...

...when the boat will not be used for several months? In the water, in Florida. Top off: Less condensation, maybe buy at a cheaper price. or Nearly empty tanks: Fill up with fresh fuel right before a trip is planned. Less weight if boat has to be hauled. Thoughts?

Do you feel, when you're lying there half awake, like someone just got on the boat when it rocked a bit? At a marina or especially anchored in the middle of nowhere. Of course that does not happen, but could it? Anchored in the swamps of South Carolina off the waterway. Maybe I watched...

Is this screwing up anyone's plans to head south for the winter? I'm on Lake Champlain, hoping the Champlain Canal will open by Columbus Day when we start for St Augustine. High water should go down by then. The Erie sounds like there was damage done during Irene's flood. Rumor only has it the...

I am installing a new battery bank(8 group 31 AGMs) and would like to have a shutoff switch if there is a electrical problem. The bank is fused but I want the positive control of a switch. A conventional switch would involve runs of heavy cable and the voltage loss. I am considering a heavy...

I am about to install two Balmar regulators(twin engine) and a Balmar Centerfielder. These components will go in the engine room on a bulkhead near the alternators. I am concerned that the exposed wiring and connectors on these components may be damaged by something or someone bumping into...

Our hot water heater*heats off of 110 vac or engine coolant. I don't know how common this setup is. Does anyone worry that a loss of coolant due to a leak in the hoses to the heater or the heater itself will cause an engine overheat? Do you have shutoff valves between the engine and heater? If...

Installed in the shaft coupling, they are suppose to shear if the prop hits something. Opinions on them?? Does anyone know: Is it ok to align the shaft with the saver installed? Should the couplings be connected with a jumper wire for electroloysis. Thanks. Bill Waiting on the Hudson for...
