    FULL SENDER

    One should not have anything to do with the other I would think. But your not explaining how the Garmin is getting a reading off the tank. Plus, has this worked in the past? We would need more info. Normally or in the past, this feature is not used since the below ways would need to be added as...

    NMEA 2000, Simrad, etc. (2004 Sunesta 252)

    It is very easy. I would google or better still use You Tube and look up NMEA2k. Simrad makes a very good unit, its a big stem over Garmin. Your transducer and radar should be connected to to the Simrad NXS, not the NMEA2k network. Engine data would depend on the type of engines you have. Your...

    Throttle Cable/Neutral and Noise

    There is a neutral switch that could be out of alinement. General speaking, its built into the shift so you can only start the engine in neutral.

    Chaparrel Boat Owners

    What are your plans in boating. For me it would be too small. For others too big or not the right options.

    2022 23 SSI garage clearance

    Take the bridge clearance and add it from the water line to the ground with the boat on the trailer. Their web site would not show what your asking for. Since there are many trailer manufactories.

    Horn Inoperable

    I would bypass switch with a small jumper or needle nose pilers first. If no sound than break out your meter. Do you have voltage at the switch? If yes than fuse is good and no need to go directly to the battery. The next test would be do you have voltage at the horn when the switch is...

    Hobby vs Passion.

    Up here in the Boston area winter is just too cold. So my boat is on the hard. But your luck to be in a warm climate. Yesterday it hit 52 degrees so off to the boat I went to install new starting batteries. A labor of love I must say. Can't wait for the middle of May when when my boat goes in.

    Who is using Lithium LiFePO4 for the house?

    To get back to Denny's point. "What would I do with a lithium battery" The lithium type LiFePO4 battery is becoming a common place for house bank batteries. Its it nice to know about new technologies such as this? This link will explain why most boaters are going to lithium for their house...

    Who is using Lithium LiFePO4 for the house?

    The same as you do now for the house. But they would last 4 to 5 times longer with less wight and more amp hours. Isn't that the whole idea?? Oh, and to save $$ More amp hours = less time between charging and more run time. Bad idea?? I hope not!

    No slippage. But I think you mean by pushing the water back to drive the boat foward. Yes, it's more for salt water. It's does work great. I am totally a salt water boater. I love traveling on the boat to new places and some old one that I really like. As in Egdertown, MA or Newport RI.

    Who is using Lithium LiFePO4 for the house?

    As I mentioned, you have. That is just a type and if my memory is right there are 4 kinds. But that one is the safest to be on a boat.

    Who is using Lithium LiFePO4 for the house?

    It is a type of lithium battery. The safe type, not the same as the ones used in phones or cars. Lithium is a deep to moderate cycle battery. Not used for starting large engines, or until they improve the technology any week now. But half the wight of flooded or AGM batteries with the 10 to 20%...

    Speed Prop is a anti-fouling coating. It also makes the the surface very slick giving for less drag. How much less drag, well I don't think its much at all. The coating should last about 3 to 4 years which is a good thing. It works so well there is no slim at all on the treaded surfaces...
