I use a similar one. Bought on Amazon with cutters for $27.00!

Battery relocation complete. Some detail work and zip ties are still needed but the system is now fully functional. In hindsight i see how I could have condensed it a bit. A BEP cluster is a better/cleaner option but I had the Blue Sea ACR already so to felt there was no point abandoning that. I still need to extend and route the wires from my on board charger. a good cleanup is needed as well but I’ll wait until warmer weather.

That looks great. Moving that weight forward is a good thing. Nice project.

Nice work!

Thanks guys. If anything looks incorrect or if anyone has any suggestions please post up suggestions. I’m estimating about #120 removed from the stern and an addition 65# added as well. Hopefully this solves my wet deck.

Anyone have any tips on the best location to mount a flux gate compass ?

On your boat? Maybe inside the berth off the floor. Basically on the floor as forward as possible.. maybe too far forward
OR
What kind of access do you have aft of the relocated batteries in the cabin bilge? Below cabin entrance?

What’s the answer?

Sorry been busy lately. I do have room in the same compartment as the batteries further aft. I think I’m going to install it there

Looks like 1meter away from electronics and magnets, if you have an iPhone download the iNstall App. It has a magnetometer for installing compasses.

Thanks! That’s a great idea. Nothing surprises me anymore. There seems to be an app for everything

With temps climbing up into the reasonable range I started puttering on a few projects on the boat. Autopilot is mostly installed, I’m just waiting on a few hydraulic fittings. I had some time this afternoon and installed some 4’ led deck lights under the gunnels.

I was working out in the barn tonite and I noticed the gouge on the keel. I can see my trailer will need some modifications to prevent this from happening again. I’m torn on the best way to repair the keel. I can use some thickened resin then topcoat with gelcoat or Should I layup some 1708 strips. Any advice is appreciated.

Those lights look great. I would just mix some polyester resin and cabasol then top coat with gel coat on that keel. Just mix it on the thicker side for more structure. I’m no expert on this though as I’ve only done a few repairs. But I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night :lol:

Holiday express.....haha .... not a bad idea. I do need to order some poly resin. I used epoxy for the roof repair but I think I’m going to use poly for this to avoid gel coat complications

Thickened gelcoat applied. Just waiting for it to cure then sand

Are you making adjustments or adding more supports to the trailer?
