Smoggy

This is the gadget I have, fleabay special.

Sorry I should made clear I was referring to the battery clamps in my last post, yes I would run the negative lead to the other end of the bank but wouldn't worry about changing all the clamps. If it's any help I have a hydraulic crimper that could be borrowed but I'm not about this weekend.

I'd keep them as they are, you can still isolate one battery if needed and keep the rest connected as they are, if it ain't broke and all that. Pos and neg posts should be slightly different sizes.

Back on the subject, once fully off 10-30 seconds should do, probably better that just a restart. Other trick is to open settings-> Apps-> your browser-> clear cache (under storage setting on my samsung) Assuming android, know nowt about anything begining with an i.

Just long enough to wash and polish the boat should do it.

Been in the dinghy again then?

But do watch out for the sea monsters........

So do you recon trump will make a good go of it????? (Do not take this post seriously!)

Hi Sean and Ben, do you have a wiring diagram? chances are a couple of well chosen switches will do the same job and just control a remote contactor near the thruster much the same as a windlass, my trip tab control died and cheapest option was £120, 2 mom-off-mom 2 pole switches did the job and including an etched plate to cover the original hole and house the new switches cost less than £20 and looked better.

Had a good day today, managed to make some beer money clipping Grendels hedge......

I hate to say it but ebay bearings would worry me, there's millions of cheap chinese bearings about all with fake packaging and substandard metals, I would go to a reputable bearing supplier (often on the local industrial estate) and specify SKF or similar, they will be standard sizes and possibly off the shelf, same with seals. I've seen bearings you can put in a vice and bend both races and balls, they should shatter.

See previous post about 4k video downloader. Might be less irritating.

I'm very close there Fred although I've downloaded music gigs as well, usually via 4k video downloader so I can save ad free with no subscription and watch froma usb stick at leisure.

It seems it's more down to people just being more stupid and less tollerant than they used to be, that shouldn't come as much of a surprise.
