Re: knottyBuoyz III The TW28 Project

Re: Lithium Retrofit
Cut out the new base for the starboard battery box. Took turns grinding on it and the cabinet frames until it fit as well as it will. Tweeks to make it fit. It's about 3/4 to an inch off square to the bed and original battery box. max 1 inch cut off the corner conflicting with the hull tapered back ...

Re: Lithium Retrofit
Cut a little more into the area for the starboard battery box. It will be pretty tight against the curve of the hull on the aft corner. I think I'll cheat it out a little so the box isn't square to ensure I have enough room for the base of the battery there. The box tapers a little so no worries at ...

Re: Lithium Retrofit
Rewired the heating system with a relay controlling the thermostats and fans. Before I had two control units, one for each diesel fired espar heater. Then 3 thermostats in each hull for a total of 6 thermostats running 6 radiator heating fans, each with their own power switches. So to turn on heat I...

Re: Lithium Retrofit
After pulling the sensors for fun I plugged them into the Cerbo all in the same location as the new ruuvi sensor that is supposedly calibrated from the factory. They aren't very close, but I'll leave them for a day or two to see if they equalize or if something is really that off. Well this morning...

Re: Lithium Retrofit
What do you have for cameras? They feed into your Cerbo or they are a separate system? I started removing more old cables tonight. The old battery monitor shunts and battery temp sensors. Such a mess with such long runs, but I don't want to leave a bunch of chopped off wires everywhere. After pullin...

Re: Lithium Retrofit
It sounds awesome, but I'd have a hard time getting 6 people. I want to do salmon and grayling. Perhaps a BBC group will fall together for an epic meetup here at some point :) Knowing you are interested I might message you at some point if we have a partial boat booked that alligns with your intere...
