The last set of 4/0 cables I built for a off grid system, the customer got a eye opener when he saw the cost of the cable! And that was my cost without any markup! The low voltage cabling was well...

Move your fuse or breaker to as close to the battery as you can and you can use 1 to feed both circuits. I like the resettable breakers because they will act as a disconnect switch also if you need...
I run a troller just deep enough that it does not cavitate or come out of the water with average waves. It does not need to be below the back of the hull to work correctly because of the shape of the...
Only 1 BMS to fail but you have to have a dedicated 24v charger. With 2 batteries you have 2 BMS that could fail and extra connections. To me it is really not that big of a deal. 6 of 1 and a 1/2...
It's hard to get rid of all the brand loyalty BS but when you do you can get some honest opinions on trucks. I talk to all of my customers about their trucks and the baby d max is the only truck I...
Nope, you can only live trap them for transport to the loony bin.
The way things are going the only safe place to be will be inside. CJ
Would hate to guess how many deck screws I had to put in when I was younger. But if I remember it was a 7/32 bit and some of the best were from Lawson. Lately I have been using drills made by Brute...
The red pump is like 5 to 7 psi and is adjustable. I have never had one not work on a outboard. Cj
Dang, that's not good. I am running a 20+ year old tour right now. Cj
Beating on a set of them right now, they have been holding up good. Had a issue first off with a bad BMS and it was replaced within a week. In my opinion that will be the difference with these...
As long as the voltage settings are correct for each battery, there should be no problem. I have 4 different chargers hooked up to my home off grid system just for added amperage. Never been a issue....
As long as your solar power has a charge controller you are fine. It will cut off wherever it is set for voltage. Also read your manual on that Noco. Some will shut down after a few days in bulk mode...
The SOK will be my next set of batteries when, if the ones I have fail. Stick with cylinder cells, some of the.compacts I looked at were pouch cells. Not the best choice from my research. I will keep...
I am looking hard at a ultrex. But just wanted to hear from folks that are not shall we say brand loyal. I try to be completely unbiased when someone asks me about trucks for work as I don't want to...
Best thing I have done with the fuel system for both run quality and reliability. If your worried about a fuel pump failing leave the primer bulb in. I have had mine done for 4 years or so and...
So like the title says, what in your EXPERIENCE is the most reliable and easy to use motor?
Thanks CJ
The only thing mine needed was a new charger. $360 to Crutchfield and a few $$ to Amsoil for lower unit and injection oil and I am good to go. CJ
And don't do it with a cold hub. Some axles introduce grease between the back seal and the bearing, if you use heavy grease like I do and grease the hub when it is cold it will blow the seal out....
Get a carbon pile unit. Hobo freight has 500 amp and 1k units that will work for the average user. The digital ones work about 90 percent of the time. If anyone has a Autometer SB 5/2 they want to...
Use something with no give like a chain, some straps retain energy by stretch. Wouldn't be a good thing if the hitch came out under too much tension. A couple heating and cooling cycles normally...
I test them by hooking them to a battery, going through the charge sequence. I test amp output and voltage through the charge time until complete. I also test for parasitic draw after the charger is...
So sorry for your loss, one of my worst possible scenarios. Prayers for you and your family. Revelation 21:4. CJ
Trojan 31XHS. I normally get 6 years out of them and never had any issues running out of power. They are not rated for cranking but Trojans support told me they are in excess of 800CCA at 32 degrees....
I only travel for work 1 day a week, 350 to 450 miles depending on how many calls I can get done. Driving used to relax me but not anymore, some people are beyond stupid anymore. Glad I am not...
As Bob said, I would NOT do it to AGMs. Cj
