End of the season storm last year hit my boat lift. All connections are enclosed, and nothing was submerged, but I guess that salt spray is pretty pervasive. Many connections corroded/broke. I'd like to make them more water resistant. They were shrink wrapped and liquid taped. I'm thinking I...
I mean, it can be done for cheap, depending on how you value your time. I'm going to add up all of my parts costs for the last 16 years and see what it ends up as.
This was the case in mine. Transom had localized rot along both of the bolts. I was able to clean out the rot, fill the holes with epoxy and redrill. Although if I did it again I'd fill with 5200 instead.
Thank you, Chatgpt
Where's the manual? I couldn't find a solar lift when I built mine, I'm curious about this one
Op, you're getting voltage out of the panel, so you should be getting some charge. You can put an ammeter between the panel and battery to see what it's putting out. Then see if...
This is truly terrible advice. Anybody reading this, if you think that there aren't better ways to test your alternator (really, a multimeter between the alt output and ground)... there are. You can 100% fry an ECU doing this. Not as much of an issue in these engines, but don't generalize 1960's...
Seriously? Who is using portable generators to charge their cars?

Yes, your thinking is akin to how goldfish think. More than one variable at play, which gets too complicated sometimes for some. An EV using nothing but coal fired electricity is still more efficient than an ICE.
