Re: Polishing
Let’s wait for @Razorback to chime in on the Owatrol. But yes, if the trailer is dirty, you’d want to wash and dry the surface first.

Re: Polishing
I believe Owatrol is the same as Penetrol. I’ve used it in the past and it did leave the surface appearing better. At some point I think I’m going to try what this guy did here: https://www.facebook.com/jim.vititow/videos/338343088208969/?idorvanity=139074012781324 He had good success with a Porter ...

Re: What has been eating up your free time lately???
I seem to have developed an obsession with both Gravely rider and walk behind tractors. I’ve also been clearing a fair bit of trees and brush on some property we own. Someday my normal job won’t interfere so much, but until then there just aren’t enough hours in the week.

Re: Fuse Block Upgrade
To clean it up I would probably use a bar with studs similar to the one pictured below, and then have a single wire from the bar feeding the 12v on the fuse block.

Re: Fuse Block Upgrade
You might consider upgrading your converter while you’re at it. I switched to a 45 amp Boondocker converter and have been happy with it. As mentioned above, a single bus like this one would work for the 12v side: 97263B12-89A2-4BDE-B8F7-004970EEF8D2.png It’d be nice if there was an extra lug or 2 so...

Re: Fuse Block Upgrade
Check out this thread here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=802
Earlier you asked about the positive wire attached to the batteries. Ultimately, the converter charges the batteries via that wire, and that wire also supplies juice to the 12v positive block for all your fuses.

Re: Fuse Block Upgrade
Just looked at the one you posted, and that has a negative bus bar and two 6 space positive bars. You will have to jump from one positive bar to the other to supply juice. Not a big deal, but something to keep in mind vs a single bar.

Re: Fuse Block Upgrade
Ok. So it appears the blue wire supplies one bar of fuses, the red another bar, and a black wire jumps from the red bar to another separate bar? It’s hard to tell in the pic, but is it 3 separate bars? I don’t understand the reason for three separate bars on that block, but that’s what it appears to...

Re: Fuse Block Upgrade
Take a pic of the blue and red wires at the converter and
12v fuse side. It’s been awhile since I upgraded my converter and 12v side, but are the red and blue wires attached to the same lug? Does the blue wire go from the lug to the metal bar atop the 12v fuses?

Re: Dynamic wheel balancers
Just curious….what difference can you tell between running wheels that are balanced, and running centramatics with wheels that are balanced? I’ve never used centramatics, but have been curious about them.
