    Canyon lake

    I should mention that I have a house and keep my boat in the mid-lake section of Sunrise Beach and was up there last weekend. Love it at this lake! So hit me up with questions. Yep, I get my gas at HEB Kingsland at much lower prices than other lane based gas stations. Wake point is expensive...

    Canyon lake

    I should add, most of the obstacles and problem areas on LBJ are well marked. The middle of the lake and the river profile is marked by red and green buoys at approximately one mile intervals. This is the deepest and guaranteed to be free of trees. Here are some maps from the regulating body of...

    Canyon lake

    Correct, but that is just a small corner of the lake. Tons of VRBO/ AirBNB houses around to fit all price ranges, plus the resorts at Horseshoe bay. The edges of the lake can be shallow. Mostly sand/mud obstructions on the mid to upper sections, but some rock areas in the lower section and the...

    Canyon lake

    Come on up to Lake LBJ. Water is still cooler if you are on the Colorado river arm or in deeper water down by the dam. Tons to see! Always constant level.

    MR1 STBD engine - series of problems

    Impellers are fixed to the engine via a coupler and are always turning when running. It’s easy enough to pull and inspect impeller on a work rack and it would go a long ways to checking off items on the troubleshooting checklist.

    NOCO Lithium Battery to replace AGM?

    Thanks, I did see that too. Not sure how the math works to get to "equivalent" capacity on a lead acid. I'm running a 2003 Honda Aquatrax F12X, but I haven't yet found anything that shows me what it wants, other that what was spec'd. Current battery is BCI compatible TX20L. I've definitely...

    NOCO Lithium Battery to replace AGM?

    I'm curious if anyone has tried out the NOCO brand Lithium (LiFePO4) battery in place of a usually AGM. Five year warranty looks pretty good to me. At best I have only ever made two years on an AGM battery I have installed, even with consistent charging in the off season. If the battery make it...

    Also spitballing in the voltage category, what is key on voltage at ECM and running voltage?

    2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 finally arrived!

    Congrats on the new car! Tesla already on this for V4 superchargers. V3 design looks like it is just getting the retrofit 'magic dock' NACS->CCS adapter with no cable length adjustment. Also Telsa superchargers with the new capability is currently limited to upstate NY and two locations in Bay...

    Ordered Hyundai Ioniq 5 today

    True and sometimes more data is just noise. But I've had a few examples recently that have made me want to have a little more data. 1) Had a bad contactor on a outdoor roof AC condenser at a rental condo, only knew it was stuck on because of a fluke leak that made me shut down my internal AC...

    Ordered Hyundai Ioniq 5 today

    Consider a Tesla charger with the J-1772 plug. It is middle of the road in price, is UL listed and amperage selectable, meaning if you don't have capacity in your panel for 60 amp breakers, go down in charing amperage to something you can support...

    What size to get for a jiggle shaker siphon hose?

    I would think 3/4 to be sufficient. I think I'm running 3/8 and it takes maybe 2-3 mins to empty a 5 gal VP style can into the boat. I simply put I towel over the rear seat backrest and hold the can there. I think you could also use a bit of 3/4" sprinkler pipe at the fuel can end to help the...

    Home automation dabblers

    Home Bridge is great! As I had previously mentioned, I primarily use it to bring my pool and spa controls into HomeKit, adapt a Lutron fan control that is otherwise not compatible with HomeKit and bring my Ring camera in. I recently installed Home Bridge at the lake house to take control of my...

    Conversion to LiFePo batteries

    I think one more thing to add to your pro category is longer serviceable life. This should reduce your price per kWh (increase ROI). Looks like lifespans in the 3-10 year range. Yes, your capacity will start to diminish with age and cycles, but nothing like lead acid based batteries.

    I bought a school bus!

    I’ve been looking at all of the stuff to add to my Airstream trailer, so this is more or less what I would go with. Prices on the batteries vary pretty greatly depending on brand and capacity. Look at Costco for the ReLion brand in what I think is a group 27 size. The Victron gear is also...

    I bought a school bus!

    Depending on your power loads, I’d shop for lithium RV batteries, a combo charger/inverter from Victron that can use the generator and batteries to meet the load requirements without overloading the generator and a DC to DC charger to charger the lithium’s from the alternator.
