    Engine hours

I took everything apart again all looked good so...

    Depth Finders?

    What dingbat said "be careful what maps are included" Don't forget this. I bought my Furno I was amazed as I was able to see the entire world map. Then I realized I had to buy a sd card that had the detailed information of my local area.

    Solar panel wiring questions

    Unless you install several high wattage panels and they're mounted perfectly you will unlikely need to be concerned about over charging. Sounds like you have a large amount of battery capacity. Read about solar charge controllers.

    Glass Fuse Amp?

    "What amp was the glass fuse? Icannotfind the one I took out." I don't mean to be a smart ass but if you don't know how are we supposed to know? Get an amp meter and put in series to measure the current while starting. Most meters only read up to 10 amps, you'll need one to measure 30ish to...

    Bearing Buddy dust cap "bra" coming off 1 hub while trailering

    I'll ask again. Are there brakes on that wheel? Nothing should be hot if working right. When was the last time you pulled everything apart and looked at the bearings? Am I missing something? Why isn't the hub being hot a number one issue? Grease should not be bubbling.
