Verne, Two years ago (summer 2023) I sent my DataMarine wind masthead unit to DMI Marine in MA.? They were able to rebuild it, and it has been working fine since. They were moving locations in 2024

I can tell you first hand that two Epoch 12v 300ah fit perfectly under the starboard settee on a 362, I just finished upgrading my electrical system with the help Jordan who is a regular contributor

On a previous boat I had a wireless B&G wind sensor with N2K connection to a B&G Zeus. Worked great with no wires clanking in the mast. Easy to take off for mast down storage. Bill Kellner S32

I was able to re-use the cable when I replaced an old Standard Horizon system with a new Raymarine system. I had to splice the wires at the top of the mast so that will be a weak point but it’s been

What Jim said. You can't get the DMI masthead unit to talk to anything other than the DMI display. I replaced mine with ?Raymarine ST60 which was a great upgrade as it talks to both my Vesper system

Brian, thank you for reminding me to check with insurance on LFP conversion and for the other tips. I need to do some more reading and checking. Dave, I hear you about single point of failure. Two

Sorry, but there is no hope.? The connections between masthead wind sensors and displays were totally proprietary in that era. More specifically, Database used an 8 wire connection and Raymarine

So, I save up, buy a new Raymarine Axiom+9RV? and Quantum 2 Doppler radar combo, they will be wired in next week sometime...only to take the boat out Wednesday and notice my wind direction indicator

Bill, I am looking at the Epoch batteries as well, and did read [possibly in Panbo] the Victron comms in that battery were a bit sketchy and speculation was it would take a while to work the bugs

Thanks Len, I’ll talk to the rigger about that. From what I understand, it means taking the rig out anyway because rod rigging is not done locally. -- Pete Waterson “Chardonnay” S38-2 Oriental,

Thanks Dave, good information and suggestions. Recall you mentioning quite a while back to use the open circuit, but thought it was the current not voltage. The Voc of the larger panels is 17.5V so

Correction 7/16” not 9/16” -- Pete Waterson “Chardonnay” S38-2 Oriental, NC

With only one battery there is a single point of failure, if that battery should fail then the only battery left is the smaller start battery. Two smaller batteries would offer redundancy and might be

Hi all, I've been holding off on LFP battery conversion but the tariff thing is alarming so I'm considering the substantial purchase of an Epoch 12V 460Ah V2 Elite Series battery for our 362. Does

Hi Don, addressing just the possibility of excess power being returned as heat energy, I don't believe this is the case. Power = current X voltage. The controller limits the current so that the panels

At the power level you are considering, just use 10ga wire and consider it a day. The ampacity rating for 10 ga is 60a, well above the amperage for the all of the panels combined. For a 3% loss 10 ga

As the original poster of this thread back on 2/28 I also want to thank everyone for their helpful comments. [A PC blue screen of death killed my laptop shortly after posting, then other events

Don, Nigel Calder estimates that on average a solar panel will produce 3 times its nominal output, this has been consistent with my experience. Higher quality panels will do a little better, lesser

My sincere thanks to all who contributed to the posts Solar Panel posts below. ?They have been very helpful in my decisions to build a system for my boat. ?One area that remains a bit of a mystery

I think if you're going offshore for several days it's best not to guess and upgrade things that are over 20 years old that could fail with the rig, steering, safety and below waterline
