Yeswhat’s your idle, 650?
There is a spec on shifting the transmissions, I think off the top of my head I want to say <1000 rpm, and I doubt much difference between 650-750. Keep in mind that the shift solenoids are pressure regulating so it takes a second or two for the transmission to engage. That is unless you have the newer pump/solenoids in which case the solenoids are instant on/off and if that case a little lower rpm would be nice. I have one of each and can tell the difference (slight).
Balmar 200sGC'mon guys you know better than to discharge a lead acid battery to less than 10.8 volts right? That is unless your pocketbook affords new batteries every season..... You will permanently damage the battery if discharged below 10.8 volts so if you are going to do deep discharging as you are discussing then get a quality battery monitor.
https://www.amazon.com/Progressive-Dynamics-PD2140-Converter-Charger/dp/B0083KNQ2SHave any of you replaced the charger with a pronautic? I loved our last one so I’m going to do this boat over the winter. It looks like the 1240p would be a good fit. 3 bank, so it will charge both main banks and the genny battery
wondering what you all have swapped the OEM for?

If I was to purchase a new charger, I'd probably be looking toward the Victron Energy line of equipment. Take a look at the Victron Centaur 12/50.thanks guys, I did stumble across the fact that Sterling Power USA co-engineers the chargers with pronautic and apparently their version of the 1240P can be anywhere from $80-100 cheaper than the pronautic. I do like the looks of the pronautic better, and that must be worth something right
I wish I would have thought a little further down the road when I replaced the batt charger with a Pronautic 1240 a couple years ago. First of all its a great charger at a great price. However...
Now that I have put a lot of my engine and other systems on a N2K network and the MFD is capable of displaying a lot of info, the biggest thing I have no info from is the battery banks, and I'd like to see more data from that (I'm looking to add battery monitoring for this reason).
Victron is pretty awesome stuff. If you want to know more about you batteries, maybe even buck up. This allows a little more info about the charging without opening up the hatch. This is a 3 bank 60 amp version, and I beleive this allows you to see charging stats on your MFD or connect up to a Victron battery monitoring system...I'm still researching these options.

Sounds like a project! It would be wicked cool to integrate with the NMEA network. But for 60amp wouldn't we need to replace all of the wiring between the batteries, charger and switch? And some fuses too? I thought I read that somewhere....perhaps I'm missremebering though.
