    12 -24 without losing the 12

    I currently have a 12v system and am considering adding some 24v trolling motors. How do I pull the 24v out of my dual battery setup without it crossing into my 12v system? If this was AC I'd already have it. I just haven't developed any mutivolt DC systems. Maybe using an inverter and breaking...

    The getting creative thread got me thinking ......

    I run a single 7.4 in my Formula and I prefer the confidence factor of an additional engine. However, I am not real fond of all the extra weight and maintenance. I thought about using a genset type setup connected by belt (think blower drive) to the harmonic balancer and using an AC type clutch...

Apparently, someone can type faster and when they hit purchase it took the item from my cart and put it in theirs. If that happened in a real store there would have been police...

    Repower options

    It seems as though I am always looking at or for what is next. What are the available power options on the table for original designs or rebuilders? A few things I've stumbled on: ZF Marine offers full packages Siemens PEM fuel cells (currently running in several types of submarines) There...

    Suggestions?

    My wife and I have been considering a larger project boat for doing the loop somtime after I retire. My dream, not hers. Anyway, you fellow 19 owners know what I'm up against when it comes to upsizing. I'm spoiled by the space and feature we have now and am having trouble finding a suitable...

    Update

    We went out last week and I hit a rock pile in shallow water that did some minor damage to the prop. The week before we drove to mid-east TN and I got a top for the 19 from a fellow that restores old outboards. He was a really nice guy and had some incredible vintage outboards in his barn. It...
