    LiFePO Batteries ???

    If your batteries got down to a point where the low voltage discharge kicked in, you need to charge them up...PRONTO! Even if the low discharge of the BMS disconnects, the cells will still self discharge at a rate of 1% to 3% per month and the cells will be ruined eventually.

    Grease Zerk Fitting Question . . .

    No issue to reach after you turn the steering wheel so it becomes accessible. I was reading all the horror stories how hard some of them were to reach so I actually bought a few 90 degree zerks to fix that supposed issue. When I went to grease the truck, all I had to do was move the steering a...

    Grease Zerk Fitting Question . . .

    You answered your own question but here is the grease gun I use. It's not a cheap gun but the best I have ever bought. I went on a site that did a comparison of grease guns and this is the one they liked. It has a bleed/priming button you depress to get the air pocket out...

    NOCO LifeP04 in lawn mower

    Remind me what battery you bought. LiFePO4 batteries have a built in BMS that should protect them but there are a lot of cheap batteries out there that may have less than stellar BMS. If the battery was discharged too far and the BMS didn’t cut it off properly, the cells can get damaged.

    We are born with no natural immunities. Your body develops antibodies when exposed to infections, viruses or vaccinations.

    Covid!

    Personally, that's a bad idea. Talk to you Dr and do what he suggests. It doesn't prevent...just reduces how hard it hits you. Since you just got it, getting the vaccine now is not necessary. You should wait at least 4 months. I did happen to get the latest vaccine this last August and I should...

    Covid!

    I goy my first Covid in June 2021. Was not that bad. Got the latest variant in June of this year...was VERY bad. Two weeks after I got over it and I did a hike over 10K elevation and I was almost dizzy due to lack of oxygen. Never had that issue before. Spoke to my Dr friend and he informed me...

    my boat won’t sit on the front bottom roller

    Definitely need a picture. Often rollers are just in use while boat is being loaded and when the boat is at a different angle than when the the boat is finally all the way up on the trailer.

    When do you pull your freshwater boat?

    Yep!!! People that think there is all this condensation happening don't understand. There is also this article that explains in terms of how much water air holds https://www.yachtsurvey.com/myth_of_condensation_in_fuel_tanks.htm

    When do you pull your freshwater boat?

    Mercury says as empty as possible with ethanol fuel and you treat what is left. Full if non-ethanol.

    benefits of side bunks..... are there really any?

    My old trailer had side bunks and new trailer doesn't. I don't miss them as I only launch and retrieve once a year in a very protected area. In a cross wind, they are very useful.

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    That is very odd. You should not be having problems if the voltage stays above even 13.0V. What did you have it set to? What happens when you have a low battery and the alternator is cranking out the amps at idle?
