Okay uhm... wow. Burning though 50 gallons of diesel a week just with the genset. To much gear running AC only. GOT to switch more gear to DC, and/or get a victron aboard. Now the question is which one? Quattro or Multi? Batteries, I'm feeling the GEL but will be looking at the lithium.
Nav gear, none of it talks with each other, bringing in a 0183 multiplexer, 0183 to 2K converter and a 2K to ethernet converter. Lets see if I can get all this gear talking to each other and my laptop.
Brought my home built computer (read as powerhouse that the kid gamers would drool over) and my Fileserver (read as 72 Terabyte file server) aboard... Anyone want to by some serious computer gear? Switching to my laptop only watts are watts and those two are killing me.
Plumbing... I hate plumbing full stop. Plumbing on a boat? Seriously? Are we sure we can't just poop overboard????? No? Damn. Okay with one minor mishap, I got the **** sorted. You read that right.
Fuel Transfer, 6 tanks each with a valve, fuel transfer manifold with 15 valves, 3 fuel transfer pumps each with 2 valves. 28 valves, 7 of witch need to be set correctly just to transfer fuel to the day tanks (2). Took some time but mission accomplished. Fuel transferring, a bit of distraction and not the generator day tank is over flowing into the bilge Got that solved, mental note, no more facebook while transfering fuel.
Garbage, I'm anchored. I like anchored. Marina's remind me of trailer parks or HOAs. Not a fan. But where does once get rid of the garbage? Oh and hey where does one get rid of used oil??
Getting around, what do you use to get around? I'm thinking electric bike.
