Stay Awesome! Hope to see more, did yall transition to a different format? Life Style?

I just got the same model hunter. Got a lot of work to fix it up, but love the layout and design!

Great Video ! A kayaker from Sacramento. At 5:40, one of my all time favorite memories is Throwing a Lit Flare off the metal bridge at one o'clock in the morning. Very Cool it was !! Stopped for a lady's flat tire.

can I assume that there's not enough wind to power your boat on the Delta?

Hi. Thank you for this informative video. Now when I get home and have switched the ACR to Off. The green light flashes every 15 seconds standby mode. Will this drain either battery if the boat is not run for a few weeks?? How can I overcome this parasitic draw?? How did you wire the on off switch to completely turn off the ACR when away from the boat???

Did I miss something? You explain wiring your 6 volt batteries in series but the why didn't you explain the whole diagram? Where were the fuses? What guage wire did you use? How did you water tight seal the wire? Why did you have acr connected that way?

Where do you keep your shower caddies for the marina bathrooms?

I need to do my 50ft sailboat this summer, I feel just like you.

Didn't notice any inline fuse by your battery. Something easy to put in even after the fact.

Did that charge all the 6 V batteries cause I have 312 V batteries hooked up for 36 V and I have to put a charger on every battery separately I cannot just put the charger on one battery and have them all charge so I don't see how you were charging all those batteries just by going to one terminal

You did it!!!

They Should be Sailing Because there's Wind all the way From Mare island Down past the Antioch Bridge....And it will get ROUGH going back.

Love this! Thank you for sharing. Drakes Bay next trip for us!

How got up the delta did you go? Oakley?

At 5:00, Suisun Bay is pronounced 'Sis-Soon' Bay. Suisun is Sis Soon. Great video ! Love that boat. And i would love to talk my wife into a boat. We live 15 minutes from Old Town Sac where I sometimes kayak at night

Thank you so much for your amazing videos! I feel like you've given so much great insight into what this experience is like! My wife and I, with our 5yo daughter, are taking our first multi-night sail into the delta next week, and are learning so much about what to expect from your videos! We're in Berkeley Marina (F dock) in case you're still in the neighborhood and want to head for a sail one of these days!

on the acr is that a switch or a fuse as it should be a fuse

Creating memories for your daughter and yourselves. She will always love sailing when she is an adult. I know I was raised pretty much on the boat for 8 yrs and younger when we had a fire in the house. We kept our sailboat in Ballena Bay Marina we also traveled to Angel Island, Potato Slough and stayed for weeks that was my favorite place. Stars were incredible in the 70's went to Glen Cove, Spin drift and Monkey Island But still had a great time. I had so many friends that were liveaboards as well as weekenders. I was friends with owners as well as with their kids when I was a kid. I assist people docking and passed out Christmas Cookies that my mom made to our friends and the harbor master. Now I have a 1987 O'day 272 that I take the grandkids on and go sailing in Michigan. I hope they will love the water and boating as much as I do. Fair winds with following seas thank you for sharing your adventures as well brought tears in my eye when I saw the delta through your lens reminds me of my younger years. Take care

Thank you I have to start from scratch as the boat we bought only had one big old lead acid I believe. I well be learning much.

This is great info, thank you! I’m in the process of buying a 1987 Hunter Legend 37 and your video showing the problem with the engine was very helpful.

Wondering if you upgrade or have solar panels to charge the batteries?

Hi folks, would you be able to make the title 'American Hunter' please? The British Hunter is a different brand and it would be great to differentiate the two. Thanks in anticipation of your help.

Doesn't that make it 24 volt at 225 amps. Volts go up but amp stay the same right

I am back on this video a year late haha ... I plan to redo my V berth on my Legend 37 this winter, rip the carpet, remove the sink, vanity, hanging locker and plug permanently close sing drain thru hull. Will rebuild the hanging locker on one side and paint the entire V Berth white... 100% happening this winter season as I've already started ripping the carpet out.

Listing? Would like to check it out.

Ruby's room is the awesomest!

Welcome back

Hey thanks for the video, was useful for me getting ready to make this upgrade. One question, what is the permantly on positive wire from the starting battery to the engine? You have two positives going to the engine, one switched, one not. What are those two? Thanks

ROCK ON!!!

So weird. I'm researching bringing my Hunter 37' to the Delta and found your video... with not one but TWO Hunter 37's!

Looking at the diagram I don't understand why you have red wire going to the engine two times. Once thru the big red switch, once straight from battery which looks as tho you will be pushing voltage to (alternator, rectifier?) when onboard charger is on. Is one of the red wires going to engine just a small wire going to alternator or both of them big cranking sized wire? Looks like engine will have power going to it when big red switch is turned off. The only wire i can see needing to bypass being switched off is an automatic bilge pump.

I bought the ACR model that has the yellow manual switch on top 6 months ago. I finally installed it last night. I must have went to West Marine and Homedepot 5 times because everytime I thought I had everything I needed to install it, I didn't. I tried my best to make it work with my existing red switch that had 3 lugs on the back but it wasn't meant to be so I had to buy the 5511e switch. I upgraded wire size for the house circuit and breaker while I was at it.

What happened to the boat?

This is exactly what happened to my Racor filter. Spent several weekends chasing the stall engine problem from tank to filters to hoses to Fuel Lift Pump to injectors. Ran out of idea then decide to remove the Racor and Voila!! Those gunks foul up inside. I should have come see this video and save myself many weeks of heartaches. Good show mate!

Nice work! I stumbled across this video and just found your wiring diagram intriguing. Question: what’s the battery switch for?

24 v to 12v 40 amp and 5 amp for H1 HUMMER

I work as a conductor on those trains you see from the bay. I look at you guys every time wishing I was on your end of life instead lol. If you don't mind me asking, what general line of work are you in that allows you the time and money to sail?

Too good!!

Woop Woop! YAY for the LAUGHS! Thank you Bless You!! See you n the Water!!!

whose is playing the guitar? cause i love his jacket!!!

🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶

Already know this is gonna be epic!

That looks great! I did a similar refit of my v berth. I used a product from total boat called epoxy bilge paint. I think the 2 part epoxy you used is a better product, and hardens a lot better.

Three year old video. Get rid of the wing nuts and replace with split lock washers flat washers and regular nuts made for batteries if you haven't already. And all of the wires look to small if your powering any thing more then just lights. I'm not a boat electrician but I think your off and on switch needs to be in a area that can very quickly be gotten to if a short or electrical fire were to happen and your not around to move the stairs? One more very BIG thing is I didn't see a Catastrophe fuse in place at either of the house batteries Positive post before the battery switch or the starter battery POS post and I don't mean the two fuses that belong between the ACR and the batteries. Size the Catastrophic fuse to handle the load but protect the wires, those smaller gauge wires need to be protected if a short were to happen any where in your system. Normally you don't fuse a starter battery. But there are systems where it would be beneficial. I was surprised that your start battery isn't closer to the engine. Lots of voltage loss in long wire runs. Boat electrician would clear that up.

Great Tribe u have there....u guys seem like really great folks. As for your scenarios.....meeeeee toooo man. If it is supposed to take an hour to assemble it takes me 3. If they say its just down the road u cant miss it....I miss it. I like things to be tight and right...I want to completely understand what the heck I am doing and why. Usually videos are my best source of learning. I am about to install my second add a battery kit from blue seas systems and I am in much better shape going in for round 2. I must say if u have ever called Blue Seas directly their tech support is fantastic. My only question about your set up from one novice to another is why did you use a bus bar prior to the ACR vs just connection to the ACR? Was this in case u might want to use future connections to said bus bar for power???

I plan to do this on my 87 Legend 37 before my kids spend any time in there, the carpet was a horrible idea, IMO. I think I will also get rid of the sink and vanity in V Birth to create more space and possibly even paint the wood in the V Birth...

Looks like a Legend 37? I just bought a 1987 Legend 37 :)

So wierd to see people coming up to where we play. Its Interesting that you went past owl for the first night and then back down to owl then up to korths and then the bedrooms.

Really enjoyed the video I got mine like 4 years ago and still have not installed it but you motivated me to do it.
