    Add smaller 2nd Relay to Blueseas "Add a battery"?

    The ACR if wired as per the Blue Sea, obviously then has its "A" and "B" inputs direct wired to each battery..........Shutting off the main battery switch(Perko or otherwise) doesn't open/break these direct to battery A and B input connections. Internal to the ACR is ground referenced...

    Bilge pump wiring mystery

    It's working like its supose too............The brn/wht wire is manual on and the brn is auto(the internal float turns it on when water lifts it). Run the brn/wht wire to your dash switch, run the brn wire direct to 12V (your battery) and blk to ground. When in doubt, check the manu's...

    How Much Voltage Drop Is Too Much?

    If V(2,4) = 11.30V and if *V(1,3) = 12.45V with S1 on and a normal load R3. V(1,3) = V(1,2)+V(2,4)+V(3,4) eq. 1 (summing voltage in a closed loop) Then from eq 1 V(1,3) - V(2,4) = V(1,2)+V(3,4) = 12.45 - 11.30 = 1.15V V(1,2)+V(3,4) = 1.15V The problem is voltage drops caused by higher then...

    Electrical Diode for Triton 2002 WA2486

    From Triton's general wiring schema, it appears the diode is for current steering due to the auto float switch, thus the pumps current is ran forward through the diode's PN junction.......... What size fuse is does the bilge circuit use/call for? At the least, 1.5x that current value for the...

    Trolling for kokanee with a buddy

    I guess it might depend on your lake/s and the amount/size of fish sounds, We (and even F&G) nickname Kokanee "Bluebacks" in these parts, I guess I have fished for Bluebacks over 50+ yrs now, avg. size range is usually 8-14" for a three yr old spawner in our waters these days..........99% of...

    Phone chargers

    I made these for my Scotty sockets, I'm sure I/you could just replace the LED's with something like this. Just cut open the Scotty rubber jacket a little more (see photo where I cut open and slid in the bulb base) so as to allow the threading in of the USB socket. Add some gorilla construction...

    Do your electronics blink off when you start your motor?

    I was lost at "With the diode in place" as I am not exactly sure where that might be? And which direction is the band on the diode relative to what? Perhaps a drawing might help?

    Analog to Digital

    Yes BUT............. 1) Make sure your "passive" sensors are the correct resistance/s (see spec sheet I included) that the converter is expecting to see as this proper resistance range creates the proper voltage range (See my math example above and also the units "Level Sensor Signal" switch )...

    Voltage regulator

    Yup, superseded by this type of rec/reg. Probably run much cooler and more efficient to upgrade to anyway. Cut off its bullets and your spades, twist wires together, solder and heat shrink, it'll last another 30 yrs. And don't pay Merc or CDI or whoever $200/$300/$400 for this type either...

    Dual battery switch and isolator

    How old are the Isolators and/or are they being wired properly? I can totally disconnect one and/or two of three batts on my three bank diode battery Iso and the sense voltage that feeds the alt never exceeds the lowest battery voltage plus the Vf of the diode (0.2V/0.3V Schottky Type) Most...
