CONVERSION TO LITHIUM BATTERY

We converted our PDQ 34 from AGM batteries to a LiFePO4 battery. We have a 3,000W/150A inverter charger. We have two 60A DC to DC chargers for engine alternator isolators, plus 1000W of high efficiency solar with MPPT controllers. We're using a 400 amp hour LiFePO4 battery. The battery we're using ...

Buying a Boat Slip

We live in Florida and are seriously considering buying a boat slip. We've come across 2 issues: 1. They are waaaay too expensive. I mean $100,000 into $2,000,000. 2. Our PDQ 34 powercat has a16.9' beam and it's difficult to find a slip that wide. We've found slips in our price range, but either th...

High Water Bilge Alarm

Our high water bilge alarm periodically goes off with very little water in the bilge. Bilge pumps are not running. Does anyone know where the sensors for the high water alarms are in the bilge? We have a 2004.

BougeRV Portable Freezer

Many of us ordered the BougeRV portable freezer in January at the PDQ Owners Gathering. How has it worked for you? For us the freezing has not been good. Example... On the bottom of the freezer I had some pork chops. Right beside it was a freezer bag of spaghetti sauce I had made. After a few month...

Re: Flybridge Enclosure Recommendation

We constructed our hardtop from construction hurricane class 5, 5/8" polycarbonate honeycomb panels. We used aluminum channels to put it together and support it. The edge was made of 2" PVC and the top of the polycarbonate was painted with white flex seal. This all was attached to the 1&qu...

Flybridge Enclosure Recommendation

We had our flybridge enclosed after we added the hardtop. We can't say enough good things about Seebird Canvas in Tarpon Springs, FL. They enclosed the flybridge of our PDQ 34 powercat. It looks great! Erick and Debi, the owners, did everything we asked, even when we would make last minute changes, ...

Re: Opening of the Okeechobee Water Way?

We did call them... both the Jacksonville and south FL offices. All they would say is that "as far as they knew, they were on schedule, but anything could happen at the last minute". Other words, they wouldn't say for certain that it would be open April 1.
