I have 6 t-145 6v batteries for the house, a 10 amp continues draw [inverter/ice maker TV, refrig,lights,etc] and a 40 amp charger. What do folks do besides run the generator 6-7 hrs. a day.

Re: Fuel transfer
Thanks for the info, my solution to the problem was to take hose off at the tank, pour a little oil into the hose, hold it high, then put it back on. Primed the pump, and everything is back to normal. Pump or gravity OK. Thanks, roger, Teamwork

I transfered all the fuel that would gravity flow from fwd tank to aft tank. Filled fwd tank, and can't get fuel to aft tank by gravity, or transfer pump. Pump has always worked in the past, runs, but won't pump eather way. Help Thanks, Roger on Teamwork

Re: whale plumbing fitting?
John, the TP valves are all the same, you can get one at Lowe's, or any plumbing store. You may try opening the valve manually, and letting it slam shut. Do this with water pressure on, a couple of times it may move a little piece of trash, and be good to go. Roger C.

Re: Pathmaker Battery Combiner
Possible source for solonoids Blue Sea Systems search Blue Sea solonoids. I think PN 9012 are the same as the ones on the 250 amp combiner. Check specs, and product documents/ dimentional drawings.

House battery switch
The wires to the battery switch for the house batterys were loose, and heated up causing the case to melt, and popped the breaker. I found this because I had no voltage when we were going to anchor. New switch $21.99 @ Defender Marine. Blue Sea Systems PN 9012 Defender PN 204497. They won't ship any...

Re: Raymarine Pathfinder compass problem
Can the compass wire be cut, and new compass wire be spliced? Solder and heat shrink. Or, will the old wire pull the new one thru??? Thanks in advance, Roger C. Teamwork
