My 95' 3500 Express did not have a generator but the electric panel is pre-wired for one. Instead of spending who knows how much for a diesel generator install I opted for a 300 amp hour 12v lithium-iron battery bank and a 3000 watt inverter. It does everything I need it to do. I stress tested the system this summer on a 90* day by first cooling down the cabin while on shore power, then going to anchor out to swim all day. I had my V berth AC running at 75* while at anchor, two refrigerators, water pumps, toilet, and the radio going while on the hook. I had 6 hours of capacity running with those loads (which you can monitor in real time with the battery app). My set up is three 100ah WattCycle trolling batteries with Bluetooth, a Giandel 3000w pure sine inverter, an 18 amp 12v DC-DC converter (it goes between my alternator and the LFP battery bank), and the various cables, switches, and buss bars. I think I'm about $1100 all in on materials (I did the work myself and had some wiring on hand). I removed the house Group 31 flooded batteries and reinstalled the LFPs in that portside space. I left one flooded battery as a charging battery as follows: wire the alternator to the flooded battery, then wire the flooded to a Victron 18amp 12v DC-DC converter, which then is wired to the LFP bank. You do not need an isolated converter because the boat has a common ground. I went with 18 amps firstly because I didn't want to tax the alternator, though I could have easily gone to 30 or mo

A strong Time Attack performance is rarely decided by one spectacular corner. More often, the final result comes from dozens of small decisions made correctly throughout a lap. Every braking zone, steering input, apex, and acceleration point contributes to the stopwatch, making [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register ] selection only one part of the overall challenge. Drivers looking to improve should treat each lap as a learning opportunity. Instead of immediately chasing maximum aggression, first establish a reliable rhythm and identify where the largest time losses occur. Once the route becomes familiar, controlled adjustments can gradually turn consistent laps into faster ones. Understand The Circuit Layout Before worrying about lap times, learn the overall shape of the circuit. Identify long straights, slow corners, high-speed bends, and sequences where one corner directly affects the next. Not every corner deserves the same approach. Some turns are mainly about carrying speed, while others should be approached with the next straight in mind. Understanding these differences helps you decide where to attack and where preserving momentum is more important. Select A Suitable Car A vehicle should complement the characteristics of the circuit. Technical layouts can favor responsive cars with strong grip, while faster circuits may reward acceleration and high-speed stability. Do not judge a car exclusively by its performance rating.

Choosing the right support gems can have a major impact on how smoothly a Path of Exile 2 build performs. While active skills provide the foundation of a character's combat style, support gems determine how those skills scale and behave in real encounters. Players who understand these interactions can make better use of their [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register ] and create setups that remain effective as content becomes more demanding. The strongest combinations are not always the ones with the highest theoretical damage. A good support setup should complement the character's equipment, passive choices, resource pool, and preferred combat style. By identifying the biggest weaknesses first, players can use support gems to create a more balanced and reliable build. Define Your Main Skill Every support decision should begin with the character's primary damage skill. Consider whether the ability relies on attacks, spells, projectiles, elemental effects, critical strikes, or another specific mechanic. Understanding these characteristics helps eliminate support gems that provide little practical benefit. A modifier may look impressive but become inefficient when its effect does not align with the way your main skill actually deals damage. Build your links around the mechanics that your character uses most frequently. Find Your Best Scaling Options Once the main skill is established, determine which statistics provide the greatest improvement.

Speed is only one part of successful dungeon farming. A run that looks fast on the clock can still be inefficient if too much time is spent traveling, sorting loot, recovering from deaths, or investing in upgrades that barely improve the character. For seasonal players, the real objective is to create a repeatable farming cycle that turns each dungeon clear into useful progression. [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register ] play an important role in that process because the right equipment can improve both clearing speed and consistency. The best farming routine should match the character rather than simply follow the most difficult available content. A comfortable dungeon with strong enemy density, useful rewards, and minimal downtime can often produce better results than a harder activity that requires constant recovery. Understanding this balance is the foundation of efficient farming. Select Dungeons Based on Character Strengths Start by identifying what your build does best. Characters with powerful area-of-effect skills can take advantage of dense monster packs, while builds focused on single-target damage may prefer layouts where objectives can be completed without excessive crowd clearing. Clear speed should also be considered alongside survival. If a dungeon repeatedly forces you to stop, heal, or restart, its theoretical reward value becomes less important. Choose content where your character can maintain a steady rhythm. Consistent

Just got my 06 Tiara 2900 open. it has good bones but came from saltwater, I will be doing a lot of updates and maintenance my self. Eager to learn more about this community and willing to exchange ideas. the boat has about 700hrs and thinking to start with exhaust manifolds and raisers, change a good numbers of hoses. I moved from a 2000 bayliner 2655 single sterndrive and I am new on driving twin inboards. would like to hire someone to teach me. Luis
