ATTN: Tricab owners -- spotlight question
There is no spotlight on my 1985 model (but there is about to be). I noticed that there is a switch on the DC panel labelled "spotlight". There is a wire leaving the switch, going down into the mass of all of the other black wires leaving the DC panel. Does anyone know off-hand where said ...

P-dog will you be hooking up a 3rd meter for the gen-set ? It is done. I did not include it in the post because it would be like the movie Groundhog Day. I just showed the shore power set-up because I did it first. I figured it would be enough to encourage people who might not think that they can d...

Next project: fuel totalizer
Is anyone using a fuel totalizer that outputs, MPG as well as miles to empty? My car has one, planes have them, why doesn't every boat? Floscan makes what I want, but only in a diesel version. Anyone have a source suitable for a twin gas installation? Perhaps there is a chartplotter that takes an in...

My ammeter installation
My 1985 tricabin left the factory without any ammeters installed, something I find incredulous, since I think that there should be some way of indicating how much power you are drawing other than blown breaker method. Wanting to know how much load I as actually drawing from my shore power lines (and...

A tricabin is great for entertaining, but not for serious fishing. Which are you going to do more of? Consider the following points in favor of the tri: - two widely separated staterooms. :wink: - two separate, independent heads. Trust me, when your only toilet goes out, it takes the life out of the...

Thank you for your concern Torcan. Some people really got hit hard. South of Baltimore the power is still out, and might be for another week. Last I heard, there were 14 fatalities due to the storm, but based on the the number of people at Home Depot who looked liked they were about to buy their fir...

but most the posts are opinion and not fact. By people that haven't even seen the boat in person, just photos. This is precisely what the moderator told me he thought was the problem. Of course, he then turned around and deleted the thread having not seen the boat in person himself. Recall that it ...

Synthetics are slippier, if I can speak technically. I agree that extra weeping can be a problem where it wouldn't be with dinosaur oil. The bigger issue is, how often do you use your boat? The old-fashioned oils cling to surfaces better, where they can provide protection from corrosion between uses...
