GelCoat Repair

[Mike Ordun]

I have a 2001 361 that is in dire need of gelcoat work and repair on both the teak seats in the cockpit as well as cracks on vertical surfaces in the cockpit.  Looking for someone who will do a good job  for a reasonable amount. I realize that my expectations are an oxymoron.   Looking in the Baltimore/Annapolis, Rock Hall, and Kent Island areas.

Hi Mike,

I've heard great things about these guys http://annapolisgelcoat.com/. They're located at Jabin's Yacht Yard, Back Creek, Annapolis. They say they cover the Baltimore area as well.

Cheers,

Mike - there is also a broker at Annapolis Yacht Sales known as "Gelcoat Kate" - not sure of her last name, but I hear she is good and reasonable for minor issues.  If you call AYS, I am sure they can get you in touch with her.

Hi all,

We installed a bow thruster this season. It is a stand alone item at the moment (ie: has its own “starter” battery installed at the bow)

I would like to connect the bow thruster battery to the engine start battery circuit back in the engine compartment to be able to charge/recharge it.

So . . . can I wire it direct to the start battery (in parallel)? Can I wire it direct to the master battery switch? Or should I run the connection through one of those ON-OFF-BOTH switches (concerned about drawing off the start battery when the bow thruster is used)? Yanmar 3GM30F

And, what gage wire would I use to connect the bow thruster battery into the DC charging system? [it will be roughly a 30 foot run between the bow and start batteries].

Thanks

We did this (ish) - installed a separate bow thruster battery connected to the BT with 00 gauge cables

But I then reconfigured the rest of the system slightly

Now my alternator and my shore power charger charges my house bank (4 x 6v Lifeline AGMs).

I then have two Balmar duo charges connected to my house bank and I use them to do DC-DC charging of my starter battery and my bow thruster battery.  It's a relatively small gauge wire from the house battery bank (underneath the bunk in the starboard aft cabin) to the battery in the bow.

I believe that other manufacturers make similar products

The wire size depends on the lenght. Don't go underside. 

Consider a blue sea ( ARC ) control relay which connects when the voltage increases due to a charge rate. Connect it to start battery. Echo charges .

Simple , trouble free and no worry as it disconnects as soon voltage drops. You can override and make a hard connection. 

All for about 100.00

Jim is right I have this set up put a Xantrex Echoc charger between your starting battery and bow thruster battery.
