The small tube that goes from intake manifold to AFP was partially plugged as was the orifice going into the AFP. All cleaned and working fine. Just a long process of elimination and test runs. No shortage of experts hanging around due to the virus!!
This forum is priceless.
Thanks

2″ bronze elbow at seacock. Drilled hole in elbow, tig welded 1/2″ pipe nipple. There is an adapter available at any hardware store for a hose fitting to 1/2″ female pipe. Shut off through hull, remove cap, hook up hose adapter, turn on hose and start. Don’t forget to open seacock when done.

This not a new build. 30 single engine downeast boat, 330B power.
DC requirement on the house side is:
Furuno TZT2 15L MFD. Fish finder function runs all day. Radar runs when engine runs,
Additional Fishfinder FCV 295, runs all day.
Furuno GP33
VHF radio
Lighting runs when the engine runs for the most part. Three durabrite mini’s, couple of small rigid floods, couple of cabin lights, and running lights. All lighting LED’s.
Bilge pumps also on house side
Bait well runs on separate group 31 circuit.
Engine runs on 2-31 series in parallel.
House is currently 2-31 series in parallel.
I am replacing batteries this winter and was wondering if the house would be better off with a single 8d. Responses seem to indicate I should stick with the doubled up group 31’s
Thanks too all for the info. Still learning
Jim
