Ok thanks! Split diode lights up when running engine and cuts out when stopped. Hope this is correct!
I may send photos of shunt connection but I think it’s connected ok!
Hi! Thanks for a great reply! I have one alternator. Bit confused about shunt connections. I have the negative connected and do you mean nothing should be connected to the positive side?
Looks like I’ll need a boat electrician to check it all out. Anyone in the Rickmansworth/ Watford area?
Ok, I was continuous cruising every couple of weeks which kept batteries topped up but now on mooring. Four hours per day is a bit much with working and 8am / 8pm running the engine.
I suppose more solar panels be the answer
Oops! Sorry I didn’t reply over the weekend! I tend to leave my messaging, Facebook etc alone at weekends and see what else is out there.
my lights do go out suggesting alternator is working ok! It is a process of elimination, just how the way engines and electrics work. However, I’m not an electrician! What does 0.1 amp suggest on my nasa monitor please?
Hi! Thanks for all your replies! I’m going to change drive belt. It may be that.
in have nasa monitor and Adverc
my output isn’t much as I only use it for lights , water pump and light on fridge which I run on gas
I would if I had the time and tools!
Ok thanks!
Yes, If then I need to make one, it will be finding a block of hardwood, drills and a device to cut the correct angle I suppose?
Ok, thanks for your reply! I may on day have a go at making one! Looks like I’ll have to reposition current one!
a good business opportunity to sell them at boat shows perhaps!
