    Three battery on a two way switch

    TBarCYa's post got me thinking and his method for 3 batts using 2 ACR's, a off/on/both switch(dual circuit switch) and a on/off switch is one way, not sure i'd use his way as I'm not sure his way can switch the 3'rd batt in for the house loads however, If I was to want to use ACR's (not a fan)...

    SSR's and marine use

    The design looks like it should work fine but, those type SSR's I haven't ever used. The Fotek's star rating/reviews are mixed, not sure about these for your app. Of the few reviews, more bad then good looks like, over heating easy and such. That said, these especially might not handle the...

    Yamaha Aux charging port

    Yammy's are sooooo ahead of the game here with built-in dual iso'd (Liquid cooled 35A total?, think these are Main = 20A, Aux = 15A common ground) output rec/reg's! AND, running/using a stator that is 3 phase for their charge winding to boot as well?.....Jealous!! Guessing Shindengen's...

    Recommendations ? Need to go up to WIN 10

    Agreed.............BUT, I'm still running 3 or 4 PC's with their respective MB's, RAM, uPC's and power supplies from years ago in fact HOWEVER, moved OS's and slave storage onto SSD's as I suggested. Other then a fan/s, no moving parts....only cap's to dry out. I think his HW would be fine for...

    Self Regulating AC Phase Controller for Heater

    Plan B....The pad got too stinky when it heats, the chewies definitely could smell it and didn't like the odor/s it gives off. Might be the adhesives and/or something internal to the pad...

    Solenoid wiring, not OEM

    Normally, if you want/need to run the typical I/O, automotive type (indicative of both the "I" and "s" terminals) on a OB, you'd just bolt the metal flange housing to the motor block (this is how its grounded), leave "I" disconnected and wire the rest like the old one........ See below...

    1990 90 HP Charging Issue

    Weird having so many bad, glad all is well......... And, yes, sorta..... You can measure your houses 120VAC on each AC leg because your house's pole transformer has a center tapped secondary that runs to earth/neutral and then ran to your breaker box along with L1 and L2. Hence 240VAC between...

    Mercury XR2 150 high water pressure

    So, not exactly sure about your engine, this is a 92 175HP however, I think they are similar enough to get a good idea here. I was looking at my old just torn down pictures, trying to see the exact path/s and where each is in respect to the pump's output through all the jackets. It does appear...

    Mercury XR2 150 high water pressure

    Thx Duke... You the man!! I looked high and low @ FB, Not at all? Looks pretty similar to me, guess I'm just bat s**t crazy...At any rate, agree and leaning towards the poppet, I'd pull it out and run w/o it, run a lap or two see what happens, go from there.

    Mercury XR2 150 high water pressure

    So perhaps the restriction/s is down in the block (left and/or right side/s) in some dark corner?............Truly shouldn't be too difficult to figure out. Remove poppet and stats, if too high of H2O pressure still persists, it can only be a few things, right? But what's too high of...

    Marpac fuse block

    It's primary intended for interlocking/linking additional units together(they're scale'able) ......For example, if you had two of those, you could pop off the seconds ones right side (ground buss side as shown below) and slide it into the firsts ones left side (note below [and on yours] the...

    Alternator selection for Mercruiser 470

    wELL!!.........The engineers I work with at Balmar for 30+ yrs could beat your engineers up any day of the week!! 100/150 amps equates to about 4/5 HP........ Alt'S max output ratings 100/150 amps at somewhere around 6500 rpm.... Chart page 9 calls for a single type A, AX V-belt for anything...

    Testing Dewalt's 20V/60V Batterys

    Since I see myself using these (20V and perhaps the Flex 20/60V's) battery's for sometime well into the future as I have almost every 20V tool DeWalt makes, and since I have a growing mix of older and newer, I'd like a quick capacity tester as the integrated 3 LED bar graph "state of charge"...

    Circuit breakers - backwards

    It'll still work and be just safe, circuit protection wise.......The design internally however, when the thermal breaker opens, is designed to have minimized the still live components (the "line" contact and its' buss bar leading in) within the breaker housing to just a small area (see below)...

    Ignition Switch Confusion

    Did you pierce through the red wires' insulation just above this (see below) somewhere to check for 12V? This looks suspect to me from here...It's a inserted spade lug jumper direct connecting the red to the orange?
