first visit to boat in 2025

first webcam of 2025

victron charge controller charging the Original lead acid Batt

12v 7ah trickle charging the webcam , the solar panel on roof not man enough 

not sure this is doing the job but in place while the new one is charging batt

 5th Jan and after a few more more windy weekends and threatened snow storms overnight i had to pop into town to get some shopping, at the same timea boat check was done

all was ok and nothing untoward unlike last times boat creeping across the car park .

i dropped of some kit   cockpit cushions as they were not needed at home 

took some solar panels and connected them upto the lead acid batt that came with the boat

the 7ah i had as a back up trickle charge with the solar panel on top wasn't really coping 

again it was flatish so that was removed and replaced again 

i now connected a 35w solar panel in the cockpit under the perspex barge boards onto a victron mmpt controller all with the wago style connectors, they make everything so simple

, i didnt have my impact screwdriver so i couldn't swap it over with other controller.

a few other checks were done and then it was time to go home for dinner 

weather was very wet and misty
