    can someone let me know what fuse sizes?

    Here is an ampacity chart. You want your fuse to blow before exceeding the ampacity of the wire if it's dead shorted. Then from there you step down again to protect the device from burning. If you have a 10 amp device you run a wire to carry 15 amps and fuse at 10 amps for the device. If your...

    Chain locker bulkhead re fitting advise please (with pictures )

    Chartplotter/FF Wire size

    Find the full load amperage of your device. Take that number and times by 125% and that's your required demand at the device. Then use this chart to Guage wire size. So let's say it draws 10 amps That would be 12.5. round up to next column would be 15 amps. Using 3%voltage drop and 25 feet of...

    Can you change from welded to bolted?

    For the price of the wire feed he would need to weld that properly... be cheaper to have a fab shop do it. Could get a cheapo ac buzz box but to stick weld correctly takes a fair amount of practice .... even with 6013 rod much less 7018 I would use

    Adding a Temperature Gauge

    Pull a sensor. Attach a meter on it set to ohms and drop in 200 deg water. If the reading changes icrmentally in a numerical value it should work on temp guage. If it switches from close to open to close it's just for a id10t light. Also note the resistance range to order the right guage if it...

    Rehab SportCraft 222 1983 deep V hull cuddy walkaround

    When I did mine it was not foam backed. I got it with the boat so I used it. Due to the compound angles I could not see any way to put panels up. I think if I had foam backing I might have had a easier fight with wrinkles....just guessing.... And I have one small spot where wiring is touching it...

    Poly or epoxy, not sure what to go with?

    If you are in Europe from what I gather they use a non styrene based binder but in the Americas I think it's all styrene based but I would not bet real money on that. I would say to get documentation on what the binder is at least. Would suck to do all that work and have it fail. And it would...
