Re: Need help. Electrical wiring for frig

Concur with Russ. You've got a power drop through your wiring that can be solved by directly connecting (through a switch) to your battery. Test by directly wiring to a single battery and see if it works without anything else in the loop. Thanks for the added support on Russ's response! Glad I didn...

Re: Need help. Electrical wiring for frig

The frig compressor would come on and go off about 3x before sitting idle, with the power light and temp reading still on and lit. The frig never came on in a wor...

Re: Upper Chesapeake Sailors (North of Bay Bridge)

Luna Sea will launch out of Sandy Point (Annapolis) or Harbour Hospital (Baltimore) this weekend. We are not sure what we are doing but up for options. Thinking of heading up towards Chestertown. Hey Robert, I probably won't make it all the way up there to Chestertown this weekend. My "Lt.&quo...

Re: Upper Chesapeake Sailors (North of Bay Bridge)

I'm on Rock Creek by White Rocks Marina just southeast of the Key Bridge. I'm down in VA starting the Carolina Loop this week. :macm: I had a slip at White Rocks Marina last year. The wind was strong there, pushing the 26X so much as I always tried backing into the slip. Now, up in Middle River, it...
