Correction

I have to differ with Seapuppy. Batteries in series doubles the voltage but the current remains the same. So if you have the 6V batteries with 220 Amp-Hrs, you'll still only get 220 amp-Hrs witht 2...

It's really quite simple. The marina will connect a hose to the waste valve (must be airtight) and basically suck out all the waste in the tank. Once its empty, you should flush the toilet using the...

When you say "if the hot water heater "goes"...it depends on what part "goes". I can't see you flooding the bilge in any event. If the heat exhanger coil springs a leak, then you'll be pumping raw...

Hi Ed,
