That's my precise plan! Thanks for pics. Breaker install looks great!

I considered it but found they can only accommodate wire up to 10AWG and they are only rated to 40amps. I need 60amps and 6AWG-8AWG wire capability.

During my wiring planning I recall reading that ABYC requires circuit breakers to be mounted within 7" of the source of power (battery). My new boat came with a 12V TM and I am changing it out to a 24V TM. The OEM wiring for the 12V TM did have a breaker with a short 7" pigtail to positive...

My LiTime batts came with instructions on how to prepare batts before use. You have to charge, balance in parallel, etc. perhaps your batts will also include these instructions. If not, let me know and I’ll copy and send you mine.

Kudos to you about safety consideration. I boat and fish as safe as I can. A useable boarding ladder is in my near future; if I ever were to fall over, it would nice to be able to get back aboard. But you bring us a great reminder.....safety at the ramp is also very important. I've never...

Thanks for input. This is the plan: This is the Minn Kota TM Plug Kit I am using. Minn-Kota MKR-28 I decided on the butt crimp connections. I will crimp with my hydraulic crimper. I will use step down butt crimps from TM cables (10AWG) to MK Plug (8AWG). From MK Receptacle (8AWG) to...

Thanks for the input. I decided on the Noco 10X2 for the two 12v/100amp LiTime Lithiums and the Noco 5X2 for the LA Group 24s (starter and house).

unfortunately, only two 24s will fit

Preparing for the electrical portion of my new TM install. I purchased the Minn Kota TM plug (MKR-28). It is a very nice, well-built plug. It uses aluminum screw terminal splicers for connecting wires from.... TM wires to plug and from plug to battery/breaker. Below is an example of the screw...

Thanks for the great info.... Decided on 2 12V/100amp LifePo for TM and two LA, one for starter and one for house. I'll use a simple Blue Seas OFF-1-2-Both switch. Since I already have a new starting batt that came with the boat, I'll just need to add a group 24DC for house and the switch...

The selling, and litigation, is over the selling of their music catalog. The

Those of you have purchased these batteries, have you purchased them directly from their website (China based) or from Amazon? I'm somewhat concerned about paying on a website based in China. They offer 6-8% discount if purchased on their website but no discounts on Amazon. Otherwise prices...

I was originally planning on one group 24 starting batt and one deep cycle for house batts. They will both fit in my rear battery compartment. After some consideration and deciding on LifePo batts up at bow for for my TM batts, I am reconsidering my house batt options. Considering adding a...

Thank you! Merry Christmas to all and their families!

Congrats on the purchase! I'd first be sure she is watertight. Check condition of rivets and seams and look for corrosion. Then as suggested to remove paint....try paint remover, palm sander, and the poly wheel....in that order....least to more aggressive. The wire wheel I'd be concerned...

I wanted to congratulate you, but you said it was a sad day. I'm glad to hear it went to someone who appreciates it and saw the value in how you made it such a nice boat. I have many boats that I should have kept...both power and sail. I still think about them time to time. But the new boat...

Merry Christmas to all! May you and your family be safe, happy, and healthy!
