Installing the electrical system

Filed under: Journal, Upgrades, What's new — oday22 @ 10:52 pm

I started installing the electrical system today. I'll have some photos to share later but I am still behind in posting photos from the work I did last week. I hope I will get to it tomorrow night. Long story short, it is going well. Probably the first time ever working on an electrical project without seeing any sparks. (Yet) I officially have a cabin light. By tomorrow, I should have running lights and some 12v outlets. I've been using my flexible solar panels to charge the battery. The system is set up to run 2 batteries and West Marine has a dual purpose Group 24 battery on sale for 50 bucks. I may pick one up but I really want one of those AGM or Gel batteries. I doubt I will have the money knowing that my mast problems will cost me more before its all over. More to come before the weekend is over…

This is one of the solar panels I'm using to charge the battery. I have 2 x 5 watters and 1 x 20 watter. Luckly these were already owned so I won't have to add to my ballooning cost tally :)
