    Driving an EV pickup

    @sly_karma I would be curious to know if Tesla opening up their charging stations to Ford vehicles now in Canada and USA will help your 'on the go' or 'road trip' or 'towing' situations for your usage. I see today they opened it up, and I'm curious if the chargers are located in places that...

    1982 Ex DFO 24 foot double eagle

    Ah I see you have a splitter to isolate the kicker for that purpose. That makes sense. Yeah lots of guys having good luck w/ the SeaStar system even though Merc says you can't do it...

    1982 Ex DFO 24 foot double eagle

    Autopilot on the main with the kicker tie-bar to the main will still use the Verado pump (at least the last few I did w/ twin V300s in the past did). Maybe it could turn a single without the Verado pump but I would worry about the pressures in the system. It's not like a normal SeaStar system...

    1982 Ex DFO 24 foot double eagle

    Boat looks good. Another thing you could do which would be cheaper than replacing the Merc power steering system, would be to put a solar system on the roof... That'll give you lots of power on decent days to help the battery system keep up. If I recall correctly I have one large panel on my...

    30 ft Commander

    The secret is the 17 degree dead rise at transom. Very fuel efficient. Also why they could slap. The less the dead rise at the transom, the less the fuel needed to push the boat through the water in regular operation. As long as the hull isn't departing from the ocean at the transom, 17...

    30 ft Commander

    While there isn't a 5.7L 320hp Merc here, this is some good data here including a 6.2L 320hp Merc and a 5.7L 320hp Volvo. We can interpolate between them as required. 1. https://www.boatgph.com/mercruiser/ 2. https://www.boatgph.com/volvo-penta/ In summary; Merc 6.2L 320 hp, 3000 rpm, 3500...

    30 ft Commander

    Old rule of thumb; 4.3L 8gph at cruise. 5.0L 10gph at cruise. 5.7L 12-13gph at cruise. 7.4L 15-16gph at cruise. Cruise for the V8's is usually 3200-3500rpm. I have never had 4.3L so I can't tell you the cruise. Question is: what does the 30 Commander with twin 5.7L outdrives cruise at, at...

    Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

    We put a kicker with cockpit controls in the Albe. That worked great for salmon fishing. We didn't keep the Grady 330 or the Fountain 33SFC long enough to bother. Reasons; The Grady was underpowered (It was bought in 2002 when it first came out... with Yamaha F225s...) and the Fountain with...

    Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

    I had a Grady 330 Express with the centre helm, as well as a Fountain 33SFC with the centre helm, and an Albemarle 315 Express with centre helm. Yes. I am a slow learner and did it three times before swearing off it. You really don't want a centre helm in an express for salmon fishing. It's...

    Heat Pump Questions

    You can get real time usage, detailed historical etc., for a low cost using a monitor. I have the previous rainforest model, but BC Hydro seems to have a new provider... If I recall it was about $100 for the hardware... https://www.bchydro.com/powersmart/energy-management-trials/hydrohome.html
