Choosing the right battery...
With the introduction of higher output alternators and electronic charge Xsplitters charging systems on boats have vastly improved. To benefit fully from a decrease in recharge time and longer runtime the correct battery choice should be made. When making a battery purchase you need to consider - Battery life ...
Why fit an Aquadrive?
Marine engines traditionally have been coupled directly to the propeller drive shaft, perhaps with a stiff flexible coupling between the two. Most of the vibration is sent straight down the shaft, and the engine mounts can't so their job properly because they are strained forwards by propeller thrust. So, vibration ...

Battery Chargers/Charging Converters - always a full battery
Starter batteries and supply batteries are designed for different tasks. Starter batteries, in order to start the engine, must initially supply a high current level and will then serve as an energy buffer with smaller partial cycles. Supply or domestic batteries, by contrast, are charged at lower current levels for ...
