What you need is a regulator that runs in diverter mode.


Naw.....What you need is a TOWEL to throw over the panel to keep it in the
shade at the dock. What's that cost? $1.39?....(c;

I suppose, in keeping with the "nautical motif", we should have a custom-
made blue cover with a ship's wheel, anchors or flags boldly emblazoned on
the cover with the boat's name underneath for, say, $350?

Naw, belay my last.....that old towel that we found in the lazerette will
do....

Just toss it over the panel and hold it down with a few "empties". After
all, this IS the party boat, right? We must keep up appearances to
maintain our status!

That's a good plan until you forget to do so or they blow off and you cook
your batteries. Hey, those batteries only cost you...oh a lot, lot more than
a controller. Send the bill to Larry! He told you that you don't need
one...that's your choice. You're the captain and pay the bills.

My water heater accepts 2 heating elements. Ones 120V and the other is 12V.
I know other people who have large resistors that they divert power to. Of
course they get hot, but it works.
