Skipping the esoterics of battery charging..


If I had a boat like yours (I am assuming that you don't have a shower
in the Head) I'd have foot operated water pumps. Believe it or not but
they do save on water use - you really use only what you need.


Totally agree with that!
One quickly gets the old time ideas about women aboard boats.
Not that I'm going to do without!
Just that I can see where they were coming from back then.

The MOST wasteful thing in the water system is the water heater!

That's one think I'd happily remove but that it seems to be important
for resale value. (?)



A wash down pump is really a luxury :-) I had one rigged to wash down
the anchor but since I also had a power anchor windlass I always
hauled the anchor with the diesel running so a little extra current
for the pump was of little interest.


Yes, that one is a keeper.


Cheers,
