@Chasing LimesHow are you able to use a water heater with a draw of 34A?
Hey Tim!Hi Everyone. Upon close inspection, it looks like one of the clamps (see attached picture with circle on it) is close to breaking and I want to fix it before the season starts. Where can I buy one or two of these clamps?
Also, the pipe that connects up to my turbo is discolored. Can I buy a new one and if so, where?
Thanks everyone!

Hey Tim!
Seaboard Marine is where I get my hoses and parts. Good guys...
If that pipe from the after cooler to the turbo is discolored, you have been running hot, Hot, HOT with your intake air.
Have you cleaned your after coolers yet? You may have a plugged up cooler which would explain higher running temp too... They get debris in the passages (sometimes impeller bits, ask me how I know...) and slow all of your raw water flow down
Marinco doesn't say if only one leg on the 50 amp side gets power or this adapter powers both legs.I am trying to use this adapter to get some power to the boat while in storage. Does anyone have an idea why I’m not getting any power. The outlet is live.

Thanks for that - looking through some older photos from when I purchased the boat in Feb, I cannot see that it has ever been connected.It is one of 2 things. Breaker for power to the generator, which if the unit is starting then that’s probably not it. Or it’s the breaker from the battery charger to the generator starting battery.
Hi Doozie - I will double check the platform when I am up there today. I know our platform runs via the engine batteries as it requires the solenoids to be on for it to operate. I wouldn't have thought it would run from the gen battery.I think it was to provide power to hydraulic platform.
Trip it and see what goes off.I think it was to provide power to hydraulic platform.
Had the boat out for some normal maintenance. When the guys were trying to get the bow thruster zinc off, they said they could not get the "PIN" off and didn't want to break it. Have any of you run into issues with the pin and getting if off? I thought they could use some easy off or some heat to it. Thoughts?
