AWETHEAYET

Thanks Tony Great advice as normal. At the moment I will be on shore power for a while so batteries will be fully charged. I have quite a few "rust" oppertunities to keep me entertained for a while. I also want to turn my thoughts to why I need to run the engine for hot water and the gas boiler for heating and not vice versa.

Bought the boat and replaced the 120 va invertor with a victron 3000 multyplus new bat monitor and colour controller, seller replaced bats with 3 x 120aH maintenance free and a 90 ah starter. I have set the BM to 360 and left everthing else to factory setting. What else should I consider to change within the system/ programing to give the batteries a "good life" while maintaing electricity to the boat? HTATBO as a new toy on her phone that instructs me to start the engine, makes a change from putting the kettle on

This maybe true, the ex hire I have purchased from the owner, not Valley Cruises. He was very helpful, understanding and went many extra miles in satisfying our "wants" and I truely thank him for this.

Sorry its been a while, but I now have a boat Exhire - good conversation with surveyor and doughts put to bed or sorted. Brillient and testing journey from Coventry canal to Yorkshire Calder & Hebble. Started to make it "ours", the real captain! she does know how to "change things inside" Thank you all for your advice, I have loads of questions I will bore you with later
