Posted on July 16, 2021July 16, 2021 by admin

Solar Charge Controller

Posted on July 14, 2021 by admin

The existing charge controller got fried due to a design condition having to do with loosing battery power when the sensor and charge wires are touching. I decided to replace the controller with one which does not have such an issues/trap. The new controller is from xantrex – the same brand as the inverter/shore-charger.

Jacks Yard

Posted on June 16, 2021 by admin

Merva on the hard at Jacks Yard. The hull has been pressure washed. It shows the following paint layers; red, green, red, and black. The last two layers were not sticking to the boat as they should but that is not too surprising as I asked for a quick job. Some speculation about how the…
