When you leave cabin power on, the bilge pump (this is on my 37, assume same on 28) that is in front of the step cycles on every 2.5 minutes to check for water, and then turns back off. This will put a battery to bed if left that way for the week. |

Re: my new Active Thunder
OK!! took it out for first test beat today :cool: . went up the river about 3 miles to a small lake. about 3.5 miles across east/west. perfect wind blowing 1.5 ft even chop no one else around. I love it :cool: . 70 into the wind @ 4900 rpms. 71.5 with it @ 5000 rpms I know there is more to be had I can feel it need to work with Pat alittle to make some changes to prop and maybe drive.
