Oops, if I may follow up on my own post immediately: I think I got into the wrong column when looking up the capacity of those batteries. It seems to be A LOT...

Amps is watts divided by voltage. 5/12=.42 amps/hour. Figure 5 hrs sun/day=2.1 amps/day times 7 days =14.7 amps/wk. just about the loss that occurs with...
I was told that a 5w panel will pretty much provide a trickle charge only. I want to say it was one of the CYOA group members that provided this info but I'd...
Well, yeah, if you figure on only 5 hours of sunshine, you are of course right. I was optimistic (pessimistic??) in assuming 12 hours of sun per day (at least...
Alan, Take a spring loaded center punch, (Harbor Freight #621-0VGA, $4), and probe the spots. If the punch does not punch through, it reasonably solid. If ...
Correct, Doug. Your math is also correct. The output is so slight that he could just add a cigarette lighter adapter to the power cord, plug it into the...

Bruce, Okay, let's assume that the punch doesn't penetrate through the mast. Is there anything that can be done to arrest the continuation of the corrosion? ...

Alan, I have found that OSPO does a pretty good job of stopping rust and corrosion. It comes in a liquid form and is not that expensive at West Marine.? It...
I used POR-15 to treat minor corrosion on the foot of my mast. The product is best known to stop rust but I called up the manufacturer and they recommended it...

Tack. That was my first thought, too. <grin> But it brings up a question to you tiller users: When you tack, do you: A. move to the windward side of the boat ...
I am a C kind of guy usually from the windward side. When racing in light to medium winds and I was the helmsman I would sail from the lee side for a better...
My 47 year old Triton mast had been painted once, and had lots of corrosion showing. Since it had to be repainted I said screw it and sandblasted it. This of...
E for me. It depends on how strong the wind is, how many people in the conkpit, how lazy I am feeling, and where I had stashed my drink. Seriously, it mostly...
E for me. When I am alone I always ride the high side, especially when the wind is strong. But when I have a few people on board and I have them moving about I...
