    Windmill boat bettery charging

    I use a charger similar to a noma 5 watt charger. Yes I run lead acid batteries and unsure of how much charge I've got at the end of the day. My boat sits weeks at a time at the storage yard and I've never had an issue with low batteries since I started using the solar charger

    SS Prop for Volvo SX

    If I remember correctly I gave you a run for your money lol. Also I did pick up an Enertia 19 pitch after that day. Pretty good prop. But sold it and now I'm running a 19 Revolution 4. Have been out lately?

    SS Prop for Volvo SX

    You're pretty much propped right. I would go with a 18 pitch ss prop. Should keep your rpms about the same.

    Perko dual battery switch

    I've owned the boat for over 10 years now. But just now realized that I've got no power to the starter when the switch is set to #2. If I remember correctly it did have power in this setting when I first got it. No changes to the wiring since purchased except for replacement of the batteries.

    SX-M Trim

    Was wondering what the safe max trim angle is on my outdrive from fully in. Either the angle or how much chrome is showing on the rams. I usually just trim up by the seat of my pants according to how the boat is running. But for peace of mind I would like to know the safe max. Thanks for your help

    No ground in fuel pump relay socket Volvo Penta 4.3 GXI

    Have you checked to make sure the kill switch is properly attached? If it's not fully attached it will cut power off to the pump

    Can't get boat even on bunked trailer.

    He was having problems winching his boat all the way up to the front. And was bouncing while trailering. Thats why I recommended a different winch

    Can't get boat even on bunked trailer.

    Not electric but would make pulling the boat all the way up easier

    Not a restoration but a refresh. Love the look

    So after owning our 2004 Caravelle 187 for 7 years . I decided to take it to work and give it an update. Looks like a new boat . I've attached some new and old pics

    Can't get boat even on bunked trailer.

    Just saw your other post about the boat bouncing. I would replace your winch. Even though its new , its a cheap generic one. Get a good 2 speed winch. It will make loading so much easier for you.

    Fuel pressure regulator

    Well I just changed the original one on my 04 4.3 GXI-E. Only reason is because its never been changed. And to my eyes it still looked good. What are your thoughts?
