The road stopped us from going to Mirror Image years ago when we moved from a 390 DA. Craft Marine is worth a call in Sandusky. I've heard they have almost 70 footers in there.

They might be full but did you try Craft?

Have a friend with a 48DA that has used them the past 3 winters. Generally very happy.

Please do, we're all interested on how this is set up.

That's why those 50 amp cables are so darn heavy. Two 30's are pretty easy to handle.

I agree, seems like we're missing some basic understanding of the DC system layout. Are you looking at updating the electrical schematic drawings?

Look at the bright side, if in good condition, those 8D's will never have any issue turning over a QSC. If the house DC load is indeed separated back there on the port quarter, you can enjoy more quiet time on the hook and not worry about the main engine starting.

Never saw that set up on a 44DB. Engine batteries are big 8D's. A heavy load to lift out. Noticed your genset is mounted farther port than earlier models. Are the port batteries all in parallel or are they separated? Normally the port batteries ran most of the DC house load.

This is a common sight around the marina until mid summer. Mothballs seem to deter, if you can stand the smell. We've had at least one in the salon, found some shed skin on the floor. Never did find the snake. A neighbor found one in the head medicine cabinet. Almost had the sell the boat. We're...

Well, it is April 1st

Do you have AIS "in" on the new VHF? If not, maybe a second VHF with that feature showing on your MFD. You could see commercial traffic around the bend and know which they were traveling.

I bit trite, but you check out anytime you like but you can never leave! I'm surprised by that marina. I'd expect it at your last one.

I found our canvas patterns under the outer guest bunk. They did not include the forward and aft top sections. Anyone have those?

I was thinking the same thing. Also, Victron is making some interesting DC to DC chargers. The "house" bank could be charged from the alternator while underway. Fun to sit here and spend others peoples $$$

I could not decide where to mount a second VHF at the helm so placed it underneath the dash and used a remote mic to the left. That way the admiral can easily use it too. Went with a S/H 2400 for the AIS in. Tried to route the VHF nema 2000 AIS data into the E120's with the Raymarine nema...
