    Blue Sea Add a Battery

    I can already tell you what they are going to say. I will email the other 5 battery combiner manufacturers and see what they say..deal?

    Blue Sea Add a Battery

    I wire directly to the switch to the ACR like apparently Bruce's is. You can't mount those types of fuses directly on the switch if you have it mounted onto a wall like I do. It would be pretty much worthless to have a fuse there. So...you didn't answer my question...you have a fuse from the...

    Blue Sea Add a Battery

    So how long are the cables between your ACR and the battery or switch? Mine are around a foot each? You really think I should put a fuse half way across that wire? Does your alternator have a fuse at it's output? My guess is not!

    Blue Sea Add a Battery

    If you go strictly by ABYC standard, you put a fuse within 7" of the source of the power. With an ACR wired right next to the switch itself, you are only protecting the short piece of wire between the switch and the ACR since the battery cables themselves aren't fused. I also use a Blue Sea Add...

    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    This is hilarious! And how did that work out for you on the side of the road dumping water on a hub with failed bearings?

    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    I understood it was a hub that never received proper maintenance which was confirmed when you say what your so called "maintenance" is. I am sure your tale will be a good lessons learned for other people on the forum even if it hasn't taught you a thing.

    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    LOL...I ask you questions and you never answer them! So what have you done with the other 3 hubs and what happened to the spindle of the damaged hub?

    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    The best part is when he changes his story from post to post. First the wheel moves 1/2" so there's more load on the others and then he says he ratchets up the equalizer. Of course the best plan of attack would have been to just remove the wheel at that point so the hub didn't drag on the...

    You know what that equalizer does that connects the two sets of leaf springs? Yes it equalizes the load on the two axles. Even my 15 year old son knows that. You aren't very mechanically inclined are you? The other 3 didn't blow because it wasn't their time to blow. I am sure you will find out...

    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    LOL...you think when you have a failure anything that is similar will all blow at the same time? When your tire blows out due to a defect, do all 4 tires blow out at the same time? BTW, because your one hub failed doesn't mean the other 3 took on an extra load. Doesn't even take a mechanical...

    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    Sorry I didn't answer your question since I thought it was obvious what I thought. Yes, if that hub had a problem, I would be suspecting all 3 to have a similar potential issue. So what did you do? Just spin the other 3 and call it your preventative maintenance? My guess is you had to replace...

    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    So I am guessing you didn't pull the other 3 to find out?

    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    It's a cooked bearing because it had NO maintenance. Sounds like no maintenance to me.
