Leisure Batteries Negative Connetor Query
Artimis replied to Frankieboy's topic in Boat Building & Maintenance
What IS a no no is using the hull as the only neg return to the battery. In the case of the AC wiring, of course you must connect the earth to the shore power, including the hull -
Sprayfoam is going to be more expensive but if your goal is trouble free, warm living aboard then its a must. If you can afford two stoves then go for it because belt and braces are best as illustrated by the current weather circumstances

If you have regrets based on a few weeks challenging weather then maybe there is a greater underlying issue But, its better to regret something you have done, than to regret not having done it

For safetys sake its a good idea to isolate all electrics (except bilge pumps) when your off the boat. A well positioned solar panel would be a more worthwhile method of keeping batts charged up

Phill Ive got an open mind so can you detail the chemical/metalurgical events which are causing this to happen When my shell was being built this summer, I was annoyed to find the boat yard guys have an habit of drinking tea on the job and putting mugs down on steelwork. Where tea was dripped and mugs placed is now where my oxide primer is rusting and bubbling. What is my best plan for tackling the steel prep when better weather comes?

With water turned off and everything else frozen up, your percieved sense of great efficiency must be due to all hands being in the office, probably to keep warm

220v led lighting is expensive, 220 low energy lamps are no brighter than 12v and batteries are always on charge anyway so to keep it simple, stick to 12v lighting. 220v lights are also bulkier because they make such a lot of heat

When I had a Broads holiday one year, I saw 4 city kids turn up to hire a boat and the girls were trying to negociate boarding whilst wearing 5'' heels and hanging onto rucksac sized handbags with one hand and shoulder mounted ghetto blasters with the other hand. Therefore rules have to be in place to cater for people who are as impractical as this.

Are these the inserts which concentrate the coal above the grate and stop it lodging on the sides?
