Average women - yes.

And men....if less, you'dd better drink more. If more, you'd better get your glucose tested.

Katy, the electric head requires two flushes which last less than 5 seconds
each. We've been out sailing all day, used the head, 12v fridge, watched TV at
anchor and used lights. Next morning the battery monitor shows a drain, but
nothing close to preventing an engine start.

What??? You're using the house bank to start the engine? Do you have one bank, or is the switch on
"BOTH"? You have a lot to learn if you want to do two days in a row!

Top items aboard Alien...not all sailing related....all new to us!

12 Volt Fridge. Simply fantastic!!! No more buying ice for day trips and
overnighters. The thing makes ice FAST and gets everything cold. We bought some
tupperware so meats can stay aboard.

Self Tailing Winches: Everyone loves em'! I can trim one handed from the wheel
and it's far easier on the girls. The winches are large, which doesn't hurt! 8
winches, 7 are self tailing!

Dinette: What a great idea! 4 people can sit and eat without blocking the whole
cabin. The whole boat seems bigger inside!

Electric Head: I had originally planned to remove it, but damn it's great. Just
press the button and woooosh! The opening vent hatch above the head is a great
idea!

Nav Station: A sitdown nav station...and it's comfortable, even for writing!

Hot water: H/C pressure water! Coolness!

Radar: Well, we're still learning about it, but it's fun!

MORE TO COME!!!

How much of a drain? My electric Lavac uses about 3 Amp-minutes for a long flush - that's
one Amp-hour for 20 flushes.

However, there are times that we don't want to fill the holding tank too quickly. Then we
follow the adage "If its yellow, let it mellow; if its brown, flush it down."

Real men don't use the head. That's what the swim platform is for.

Three way system, with 3 batteries now installed (two grp. 27, one 24).
Batteries are truly isolated (Not just the switch) and we have a 3rd group 24
for backup which is also isolated. There is a small 6 amp seperate charger
installed for that one now. The Charles charger is a 50 amp for the mains.

RB

Then why did you say the fridge and TV didn't drain enough to affect starting? Sounds
like you're making things up again.

Because we have left the switch set for both by mistake. Never made a lick of
difference.
Sorry! You lose again!

Bwahahahahaha!

I said that the fridge, TV, lights and head didn't cause a starting worry.
Can't you get ANYTHING right or is warping the truth your hobby?

Sheesh.

You said "Next morning the battery monitor shows a drain, but nothing close to preventing
an engine start" implying that if there had been a larger drain, it would have affected
engine start.

Then you claimed the batteries were isolated. Then you said you had the switch on BOTH.
Then you claim it doesn't make any difference. It sounds like you're very confused.

I like that new twist - the confessed pathological liar accusing others of "warping the
truth." Good one.
