any takers on whats up with that electrical panel in the closet?

it sure is quiet when its running on the trailor. My 235 chapparal(forsale) is louder with a single sbc thru hull.

Do these swim platforms typically hold water when its running, or when just sitting in the water? I noticed that the water predominantly comes out of the weep holes ( about 3/4inch in dia. appearing factory) on the underside of the platform. I can only imagine that whatever is in the platform making it so quiet is extrememly restictive and MUST be removed How does the whole operation work w the silent thunder(is it?) exhaust?
Thanks!
Dom

Silent Thunder ...

http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/f...-platform.html


electrical panel in the closet .....

There should be a Shore Power hookup on the Port Side Just inside the Sliding Door in the Cockpit ...Towards the Stern ...Possibly they used the same Panel even when the Shore Power wasnt installed ...If not there easy fix ... There is just a 12/2 UF cable from the 30amp recepticle inside the Sliding door area up to the AC/DC Panel in the Cabin ........m

I mounted the battery Charger on the port side inside the engine room ....the battery charger needs to tied into the Shore power and I think there is a breaker on the panel in the Cabin that feeds the Battery Charger.... Send me an email and I can send you a wiring Diagram .......m

Standard 330s and 365s require only 87 octane. Any higher rated fuel is a total waste of money and will do absolutely nothing for your performance or engine longevity. Now, this whole ethanol thing, that's another story.
