Without reading all the questions, i have two. I used a 50 amp fuse going to the fuse box. Is the two big or if there is a problem will it undoubtedly trip the 50 as well as a 20 or 30? Also, my ground goes to the engine block! You did not address this. I am an electrical dummy sooo there's that. So question is do i go negatve from house to crank to engine end then stack a negative ring on the engine to a negative buss bar? I have a 350cc inboard. Thanks in advance!

I have a 2010 model, and it looks like the gear lube plug is on the side of the lower unit instead of behind the prop, is that right?
@abdallaha39585 күн бұрын
Hey man thank you for the video! You’re a life saver! I just swapped on the lower unit and after starting the motor I don’t have a good stream of water!? Any idea how long it takes before you get a good stream of water? I got muffs on it and ran it for like 30 seconds- minute and didn’t get a good stream

Question about when transferring rodi into the saltwater container. How do you know how much salt you should be adding? Do you have marks on the containers and wait until you get to say 10 gallons and then add 10 gallons worth of salt into the top?
@ReelLifeFisherman8 күн бұрын
Yes when I transfer over the rodi I fill usually to 20 gal mark and add the appropriate amount of salt for mixing 20 gallons.. then let it run and recirculate to mix . Then take a small cup to sample and test out if the drain

Thank you, this was so simply explained and well presented. Had 2 questions if anyone can answer. You mentioned to power off the boat and electronics before switching to battery 1 or 2, what about if you are switching it to the combined setting having power from battery 1 and 2, would you still have to power down the boat? And also, when I have 2 batteries on the boat how do you generally charge each battery especially the house bagtery which would be used more for when the boat is off out in the water? Sorry may be dumb questions but trying to figure all this out.

Love this video! 1/2 way through my annual maintenance on a Mercury 115 CT. Writing shirtless though, as my gear oil plugged popped out and sprayed me with used gear oil. Likely an anomaly or user error somehow. Definitely didn't notice the gear lube "not rushing out of there." No I didn't loosen the vent or overflow first. Sharing so others don't potentially get the same surprise. Not a criticism of the video. Covering all potential scenarios would create a two-hour long video. Love the video and watched about eight times to date. Thank you Real Life Fisherman for the pro guidance. I appreciate you.

Thanks for the vids. I have a 24v trolling motor setup. Can I run these chargers up to each of my trolling motor batteries from the start motor. I was looking at MinnKota's alternator, but my Honda 40h alternator is less than Minn Kota's recommended alternator output, so I was looking at this for an alternative...Or do you thing the Monn Kota alternator would work

if you have 2 downriggers drawing 20amps, will you need a 40 amp circuit breaker or 2 20 amp circuit breakers? What about your fish finder? Is it bad to get an overly large amperage circuit breaker?

Yes. It goes on the cranking battery negative.. then you need a negative to negative jumper between the two batteries.

How do you keep track of how much salt to add when you are making the salt water? Is some sort of levels called out on the tanks to know how much water you are adding? I wish you would do more tank videos!!
@ReelLifeFishermanАй бұрын
Yes there are marks on the tank in ten gallon increments. so when I make saltwater I pump over R.O. Water to the salt side and then flip the valves to circulate the water in the salt tank. and then add the number of scoops per each gallon and let it mix .. thanks for watching I appreciate it! If I did make more videos it would probably have to be what not to do videos! 🤣 I'm struggling right now to get my nitrates down I got bad about doing water changes and they went up I'm getting my refugium set up to help export them out! And back doing water changes each week..
