That's great! Question... what fuse holder? My ignition goes through an Airpax breaker no fuse... Am I missing something?

directly underneath between the two throttle controls

My 29 has a capacity tag for bridge. Three Persons in Good weather. Now USCG uses a weight of 150 lbs per person.

So you can figure from there.

Most men weight more than 150 lbs!

The OEM Perkos are still a great water separating and particle filter. No reason to change to spin on type filters. The filter stones in the Perkos are still available and last a LONG TIME. I replaced mine but they still were probably just fine.

Since there may be a possible virus issue with Jeff's old site I am dumping any posts related to it just in case.
Rather safe than Sorry! I left the How To post on the site. I deleted my own reference (Link to the Tripod site)

Nothing personal just a small dose of caution!

Your numbers will settle down some to around .90.
Best advantage is keeps numbers in line and since Mag is lower on Noble Scale your aluminum keel/rudder anodes will have little loss.

Your engine is bolted to stringers thus to hull
Your isolation is to protect disimular metals
Shafts props rudders etc

I just removed the old regulators and used rubber tape and electrical tape and sealed the wires. I increased the gauge wire from the alternator to the battery and installed a 60 AMP (I think?) blade fuse in each line. The best part is my battery banks are in center between engines so very short run ...

I hated the OEM alternators with regulator on my M. I changed them out to One wire 60 amp 10 years ago. NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER! It only takes 1,000 RPMs to excite them. I use 2 six volt golf cart batteries for my house bank. The alternator does an excellent job of keeping the bank up. For what it is...

Your readings are great... do not worry about it GO BOATING!
