Re: Battery question
How many batteries make up your house bank.? When at anchor I run the genset for an hour at breakfast and an hour at dinnertime. I did replace my battery charger over the winter to a Pronautic 1240 P and made sure that terminal one was connected to my house bank through the isolator. Check your charger's charging amperage. Also have you switched to LED cabin and cockpit lighting to drop your discharge amperage.

Re: Battery question
The house will charge when engines running as long as your isolator is working properly. You could also run the generator to charge the batteries of course.

Re: Battery question
House and starter batteries are separate for this exact reason. You should check that your charger and isolator is working properly.
Do you have a generator?

Re: Little bit of milkiness in oil
Is this raw water cooled? If so I wouldnt rebuid the motor (if it's cracked you'll scrap the block any way). It's had 20 years of rust scale deterioration, even in fresh water.
if it's a head, intake or head gasket its not too much money to get more time on the water.
If you can find a complete new motor available thanks to covid 19 that would be my route unless they have a new block locally with a good reputation for engine builds. Michigan motors is a well known marine engine supplier with a good reputation.

Re: Chicago
Love downtown Chicago. Gotta see the Billy Goat Tavern in the underground area of the Wrigley building.

Re: NHL hockey thread
The lightning have been just one or two players(maybe even a few lucky puck bounces) away from a cup several times over the past decade.
If I was a pro hockey player Tampa Bay is about the best local in all hockey. The fishing, the golf, the weather....why live in newyork or Toronto, deal with those winters when you can play in South(Central) Florida

Re: Little bit of milkiness in oil
That would be an indication, but could also be a head gasket if you're lucky. Compression test will help narrow it down.kennydalglish said:Apparently the diagnostic tool he hooked up reads historical codes from the ECU. It showed serious overheating at one point along with low oil pressure. I am going to visit him today to get more details before moving ahead.

Re: Who was here in 2013 and before?
Well, that's 21 and counting that have 8+ years. I'm sure there are more, not to mention the hundreds of contributing members who have come and gone over the years.
For whatever reason, we've developed a culture here that loves solving problems and sharing knowledge. Along the way, we've built this humble little owner's group into a global boating resource that probably appears in 1000 web searches every day. Kinda cool when you think about it.

Re: Who was here in 2013 and before?
I bought my 340 in the spring of 2013. I believe I was on the old site just as it was going down. I was so disappointed because I knew I had a lot to learn. But then I found the new site and it has been incredibly helpful. Whenever I seem to be struggling with an issue the first thing the admiral says "Did you check your forum?".

I don't say a lot, but I was a member of the old site around 2010 reading posts from Rinker Yan and Drewactual. Definitely a good group people here
