No actual details Gulfstream switching except it is fairly straight forward. In that one battery (2nd) must be disconnected both...

Roger I would fit the electric winches and simply try them on 12v. Unlike a resistive load a DC motor has a high current at low speed...

Since you can now get bright led battery lanterns that shine all night why bother with a mast head anchor light?? If you have a...

An anchor light lower down is much better.

On my little boat I chose to seal up the under bunk area to make the boat unsinkable and more stable if full of water. I think that a...

Forgot to mention a buck PWM regulator will have an inductor in series with the output before the capacitor and a flyback diode to...

As said fix the inboard. However my little 21 fter has been used in a lumpy water with an old 6Hp Johnson long shaft. It is mounted on a...

Just a few thoughts on booms. The load on a boom is at the end mostly downward but also sideways holding the clew. This load can be...

I would suggest OP become very practiced at scrubbing his boat using just a snorkel (and mask) I am fortunate in that a small boat 21ft...

Here in Oz sail numbers are only required for racing. (Yachting Australia affiliated) Most dinghy classes will issue a number which...

I would disagree in that a PWM voltage converter will feed in to a capacitor which will charge on the go pulse but not right up to the...

To charge the 12v battery system from mains probably simplest to buy a charger and have it connected to the mains input. Assuming...

The corrosion area will be near the bottom of the mast. Not an area of real stress (concern) unlike areas between the cap shrouds and...

The trick with learning to sharpen drills is to start with large drill bits like 10mm. Observe a good bit closely to see the angles...
