    At 3:30 the inline fuses. Test the meter reading with the 1 amp fuses and with some 20 amp fuses just for kicks. Only takes a moment to verify it does not effect the meter reading. I do voltage drop tests across fuses to look for parasitic draws all the time.

    I am loving the fresh water flush project.
    But I may have stumbled on a flaw. Your button in the dash, opening the fresh water solenoid. That will work great, IF the salt water seacock is closed!
    So you will Have to shut down the motor. Hold open the flush valve. Start motor and run until flushed.

    Your installs look so neat and tidy. Love watching it for ideas as I get my sailboat ready for the season. What would happen if you opened the solenoid valve when your fresh water system isn't under pressure? Salt water contamination? I'm not sure the best way to prevent it but maybe a check valve to prevent backflow. We are especially fortunate in the Pacific Northwest.

  • @kevbjork1
    @kevbjork1 2 роки тому +4

    Peter, you might have already given thought to this. Standard practice is not to have your domestic water attached to another water system. Cross contamination is a possibility. Standard practice would be to have an air gap between the two systems when not in use. Be careful of this but I do like the idea and can be accomplished with two valves with a bleed valve to air gap between them.

  • @raygale4198
    @raygale4198 2 роки тому +4

    Hi Peter, hate to be a downer but those micro blade fuses are not mains rated, although better than nothing they are only rated to 32 Volts, at least in Australia. They fail on interrupt capacity rating and can still be conductive after blowing due to the vaporised element plating inside the fuse body. Some 3AG size fuses in panel mounted carriers drilled through the side of the cover box would work. You need to purchase mains rated 3AG fuses also as there are some only rated at 32 Volts. The best quality safest ones are the ceramic tube ones which are also silica filled, they have a interrupt capacity into the kA range meaning they will separate and isolate when a fault current up to the interrupt rating is passed through. They should be available at any electronics hobby shop for only a few cents each.

    • @bepp2
      @bepp2 2 роки тому +2

      I came here to say the exact same thing. Standard ATO fusees will not even clear a 48V supply fault. yes that is from experience. 3AG or even 5x20mm are great options and both are mains rated and have panel mount touch safe holders. 0.25A is more then enough for these meters.

  • @gardner959
    @gardner959 2 роки тому +1

    While fusing the sense wires for your shore input is a great first step, I think 1A is still an excessive current. I had a similar situation where I needed to extend a voltage sense circuit from my generator and the manufacturer had not designed in any sort of isolation or protection in the circuit. I tested the meter and found it worked fine with series resistance, so I added a few hundred ohms to help limit current and I fused the conductors for 0.25A. Even so, the potential for 200mA @ 240V ==> 48W of electrocuting power to flow is inideal. Some things that might make sense for you: if your shore power meter is powered by 12VDC, it's likely it would read the AC voltage accurately with 10Kohms or more in series. Maybe you could lay your hands on a 1:1 shaver outlet transformer to put in the sense circuit. The ideal to me would be a 1A fuse to a 1:1 isolation transformer, then 5K or 10K of series resistance before leaving the orange junction box. Good luck and thanks for your efforts -- I always feel fortunate that you share your entertaining projects.

  • @mvcaroline
    @mvcaroline 2 роки тому +1

    So how do you intend to shut down the raw water intake when you are I flush mode? Another solenoid valve? If you don't shut off the raw (salt water) you're still going to get mostly salt water when trying to flush with the engine and pump still running.the other way to do it would be to tee into the system after the raw water pump and flush using the fresh water pressure to push through the heat exchanger. Seems like a big waste of fresh water to me.usually an annual " barnacle buster flush is more than adequate to maintain a heat exchanger and exhaust riser.

    You're very fortunate to be installing such a convenient fresh water flushing system.
    One question, will you also have a solenoid valve to stop the saltwater entering as you do your fresh water flush?
    If your running the engine while flushing, will it not be pulling in saltwater at the same time?

    Be sure to plumb the engine side of the flush to the top of the solenoid, any restriction on the output side of the cooling system will build up enough pressure to unseat the valve otherwise. Or, just install a ball valve between the solenoid and the engine, you won't be using the flush that often, so it's a nice safety feature. And coat those shiny, new electrical connections with dielectric grease! Cheap insurance against corrosion... Nice to see the 'innards' looking neat and 'spiffy'. Nothing worse than trying to work on a rat's nest... 🐕
