temperature sensors on the alternator or batteries will do the same thing.

not sure exactly what you are referring to as Abaco marina. however at the Abaco Beach Resort there is the Boat Harbor Marina. I always just hail it as Abaco Beach Resort. Plenty of slips, fuel, restaurant. Etc. Contact number is 800-468-4799 local is 242-367-2158. great place to stay but a...

I just had the same issue with my NL 5 KW generator. , spent 3 months in the Bahamas trying to solve it. Finally came to the conclusion it was the "lift" pump. i.e. fuel pump. Bought one on line for 55 (a knock off) as only one quickly available. Installed it runs better than ever. I now realize...

there. is also an exemption for fishing, I bought a one day fishing license , hung a rod over with a lure about 2 inches under the water and went to bed, Not sure if that really works but is was early in all of this so i thought it might be fun if challenged.

GA Legislature-Anchoring Just heard GA is suspending its legislative session as of end of day tomorrow due to virus so will be awhile before it moves in further.

Hilton Head I live in Hilton Head although not raised there but in and out since 1963. , would like to meet up and discuss all your opportunities. What marina will you be home porting out of. I'm in George Town (yes turns out it is two words) Bahamas but returning home by air for the month of...

Bigfish Has nothing to do with me being from HHI, All of us there except the native islanders are transplants. My point was the original poster was looking for reasonable marinas in Miami (as I am) and it went off to whatever/wherever. There are a lot of us out here that can't afford 8/10...

So why?? So why does a reasonable question about marinas in Miami get hi-jacketed into topless beaches?? so figure!!

Sorry it took so long to get back to this subject, working on getting the papers signed etc. My concern is not so much as speed as it is economy. When we were doing survey at the 2100/2200 rpm the engine temp went up quire rapidly which led me to believe there was an issue with the props. I...

Ok I talked to Scott (thanks for that tip) have solution. Check voltage regulator, depending on model may have to move dip switch from 50 to 60 and then increase frequency to 60. He recommended setting it at about 62 cycles to allow for a small drop under load. Just thought I would put that out...

When PO rewired boat shore power input was reduced from two 30 amp connections to one.

Thanks to all. Will investigate more in detail once I'm back at boat. The cycle issue was picked up by the surveyor using his frequency meter. Conversations with PO stated it was 50 cycle and he had set his inverter to the same frequency. That's a simple fix with the inverter and I have just...

Thanks to all on my post of the propeller issue, as the engines' temp. quickly increase at the 2100 rpm it indicates to me of overload, I will try the 3-blade ones. Now for my next issue. The generator is a Northern Lights M643-4.5N. So for what ever reason the PO has been running this generator...

I am in the process of moving down (in speed that is) to a 40 foot Marine Trader Labelle. At the sea trials the engines did not meet the recommended full max. rpm of 2500. The motors are 212 hp Sabre Marine 6 cylinder, turbo(ed). The PO had replaced the original (at least when he bought the...

In my previous life (go fast boats) I had insurance that included the coverage for the Bahamas. I am now in the process of attempting to find a nice trawler with the long term intention of extensive cruising in the Bahamas and eventually heading further south to the Leeward and Windward Islands...
