Sorted??? See the ALL the amps now, both in and out ?? even from the alternator. Plus the charge controller is working as it should. No power dump from the start battery to the house bank. Thanks again everyone for your advice. I knew I could rely on the ybw.com forum to find out what I needed...

Thank you all so much for your help?⛵️ I shall implement your advice??

Can Cant seem to see the schematic ?

I’ll explain what I’ve done. I’m getting amps in and out fine with Solar and shore power & load, but nothing in when the engine is going. Negatives from the solar and 220v battery charger go to a bus bar then from there to the shunt then on to the house batteries. That same bus bar has the...

I have installed a battery monitor so now I can see how much solar is giving me as well as a shore power charger, but not the alternator. The alternator’s negative wire goes to the engine block which is of course normal but how do I run it through (or to) the shunt so to see the amps going into...

Thank you all. I’ll be buying the longer version so as not to delay my holiday

Yep I’m with other comments here and say it’s the carburettor. I’m have a 3.5hp Mercury & pretty much every season I have to do a clean of it otherwise it has the same problems you’re having..

Hello people, My throttle cable broke yesterday so limped in to harbour at an idle speed. I’ve managed to get the cable out and it’s a TX Controls cable 2.25m long. The problem is I can only source a 2.44m cable unless I wait. And my holiday has started. So to my question the the panel. Can I...

If Thames Hose and Couplings are still going I’m sure they’ll be able to make them up for you?

I wish to get into the water tanks to clean them. Has anyone an idea about this inspection cover on my water tank. Do I undo all the bolts around firstly, then the middle, that was my thought. Has anyone any experience with similar tanks? Help is greatly appreciated. Warren

I’ve kept the mast on this year so to completely cover the boat will be a problem. A cover fore of the mast and another aft of the mast will have to suffice. Here in Sweden it gets well below freezing and will have to contend with snow too. I’ve sanded the deck once and that was after...

Hello panel, I have a teak deck on my boat. Is anyone that has the same worried about water intrusion during the winter, it freezing and as a consequence causing problems in the deck.? Thanks Warren

The best caulking IMO is Teak Decking Systems. More expensive than most but great to work with, that’s what I done my deck with.

I have now completely renovated my teak deck. I took out all the caulking all the plugs and all the screws. I replaced the screws with thickened and epoxy, & then replace the plugs. Sanded in between the grooves where the caulking was and then replaced the caulking. It was a hell of a job but...

Yep. Many moons ago. I was reading to my then baby daughter in the fore-cabin in rough weather. Came up green..
