Bill D, I was thinking when we passed in the river last week.... wow that is a beautiful boat. Just mounted the same hauler on my gin pole/ davit. Wired it with #4 w/125amp breaker. So the house would be best even if I plan on running the engine while hauling?
Thanks, the Blackfin is a pretty boat as is your Calvin South Shore.
You went by yesterday afternoon around 2pm, I was checking traps off PI beach.
After 7 different DE hull sea trials I did not find one that "tickled my fancy enough" to justify selling the Blackfin at a big $loss$ and spending an extra 40K-50K with me doing most all the finish work.
ALL boats are compromises, for now the Blackfin is less of a compromise.
Back to the hauler, as Tunascapes stated, wire to the house, that's what I'll do. I'll never use the hauler without both engines running and charging the house.
For anchoring and hauling the anchor the Blackfin has a windlass.
You NEVER want to risk a dead starting battery
btw, "still would like a ride on your CB, dam she's pretty !!!
Beautiful ocean day yesterday. Went out to Jefferries, one blue shark, cod.haddock/pollack.
Steamed back @ 2600 rpm cruise 24 knots, NICE !!
