Thanks. For anyone else interested:

Size: 6' 4" along the bottom; 6' 4" high (1.93 x 1.93 meters).

Thanks. Could you estimate what you can get ballast in with some passengers?

With a moderately stocked boat and one soul on board it easily did 21 mph. Empty of everything non-cruising with full 24 gallons of fuel and two s adults on still water we hit 24 mph. I'm considering the DF60AV for my 2005M. I'm finding myself wishing for more docking control with the current and w...

Very helpful! This will be a great reference for me. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

That’s a great idea. I’d love to see any pics if you have them. Do you recall the size of sail you made/ purchased?

Thanks! I have an electrician coming in the next two weeks to replace the panel. I labeled the wires I know, and asked him to help with the others (and repair some bad connections). I know all of the connections on the RIGHT (house battery), so that's a start. I want to order one or two terminal blo...

I used Marine Tex epoxy and seems to have cured nicely.

Your PO must have implemented the A/B/Both/Off switch to the outboard. From your photo, it looks like your battery switch allows you to start the motor and charge batteries from either battery but the house battery is connected to the panel. Back to your question: I have the Terminal Post fuse on t...

I had good advice!

Ok, hole patched ✅ Scheduled marine electrician to see about replacing panel ✅ Disconnected everything from problem battery and tried charging all day with noco genius ✅ Charge status never got above <25% indicator (lowest) and battery only reads 8v and change. Battery tester says it’s too low to te...

I was floored to find it. Yes, I think it comes from bolting the battery box. Good advice to inspect the other ones. Now I know why the battery on the left can move around while the battery on the right is fixed in place. :D I read on this forum that Marine Tex is something I could use to fill the h...

Turns out I do have a leak in the ballast, located in the battery compartment. After draining the ballast and waiting a day, I filled it at the dock and immediately noticed the leak. https://photos.app.goo.gl/sF5WidJTxWDgCvMu7 https://photos.app.goo.gl/2zH3mszLMWUCWHdL8 Anyone have experience repair...

I appreciate all of the battery advice. I’ll apply these troubleshooting ideas once I resolve the water issue. I emptied the standing water and then emptied the ballast this morning. So far no new water while at the dock. I talked with Todd today about an order and asked about this issue. He also sa...

Thanks for the water advice. The water in the battery compartment is back after a calm night with no rain. Ballast level appears to be 3.5”. It was 2.5” last night.

I’ll drain the ballast and see.

Two steps forward, one step back. I have 2 12v AGM 79Ah batteries. On a recommendation in this thread, I purchased a Noco genius 5x2. I connected it to both batteries and plugged directly into AC via an extension cord (not shore power cord). The noco shows that it charged one battery but not the oth...
