The gauges are designed to be two in parallel? If they are the type that are for single display you will get what you saw. Disconnect the lower helm gauge and see if the upper works correctly.

Re: The trip:

I've heard too many horror stories about structural damages caused by hauling old boats like this. Likely because the wrong trailer type was used...... for wooden boats what is best is a low flatbed on which the keel rests and then 3 or more curved sling supports for the hull just to keep the boat ...

While the boat is in winter storage, I do a maintenance charge on the batteries once a month but the last time I checked them, one of the 6v batteries was down by 2v. I was wondering if it was because I was not equalizing them. Could be but you could also have one cell failing which will not be cor...

my batteries are the same as yours with one house and two starting. how else would you hook them up if not parallel? isolate each battery per engine and the house battery separate? Yes that is how I would do it. On my F32 the engine wiring harness handles all lights etc: I have wired the heavy load...

All of these batteries are connected in parallel (pos to pos, neg to neg) So in fact you have one big battery and all power everything... not a way I would go. If you have a short on one engine circuit you would loose ALL power... in effect no backup. Or am I reading something wrong here?? On mine ...

I prefer the natural wood look so just use teak oil and rag and wipe it on.. sometimes do a V. light sand first.
