boatnicdad:))
     take it from 66 yr old, i know wha you mean. 
we need to know what service voltage at marina is:
we need to know what the max load amperage drawn by charger.
we know distance as 100 feet.

I need some simple advice.

i have a Ray outboard - 48volt
8 6 volt batteries
1 lestronic II charger

questions:

1) can i plug a Honda 3000i generator into the lestronic and run the Ray to get home without damaging any component?

2) what device is available today, that can provide me with more data than the lame red/green gauge Ray comes with? SPECIFICALLY while running? something like torqueedo has.

3) is there a way to safely place 2 of my 6 volt batteries (normal old batteries - not agm, not sealed, not lithium) in my helm console without safeety issues of having the electrics near the battery?
i could build a separation box that vents perhaps. - weight distribution is the objective.

4) i have more than 100 feet from outlet to boat charger, i know the extension cord is too small, so i am going to make a heavier gauge extension cord - what gauge should i use that is above requirement but a 52 year old man can haul around.

i LOVE this group. 3 years of lurking. i dont like it when the "electricboat family" argues though. i am a single parent of 3 teenagers alone - so i know arguing.

THANKS
"boatnicdad"
