Noise and generators
Hi, Charles, and group,
"Charles T. Low" wrote in message news What electrical loads qre you planning on carrying? We don't yet know for sure. There's some stuff which needs attention, and some other stuff we expect to buy. In any case, I'm not happy with the amount of charging provided by the engine, which we ran for an awful lot of the time on our shakedown/delivery cruise, and still found ourselves not fully charged most of the time. Otto (the autopilot) is so hungry we basically didn't use him, preferring to go with Manny (Manuel Steering) most of the time, due to the drain. FWIW, the batteries, 4xT105, are pretty new. Could you get by without a generator? No doubt - but only at the expense of installing a solar and wind farm, which, actually, is our preference. As noted in another post, humorously observed by Larry, but seriously by Bill, we'd readily consider selling it, as it would enable our conversion. We'll be in the tropics, where sun and wind are abundant. L8R Skip and Lydia |
