    Sometimes the bridges are low, sometimes the river is shallow, but never the two together! m@

    Then you do not need a controler, just switch the panels off if the voltage gets too high (Unlikely in your case) m@

    Generators

    Mat B replied to Joshd's topic in Boat Equipment

    I am paying about 50p/kWh - this from a communal generator, i.e. 4 boats plugged into a 6kW genni, and not counting capital costs. I agree - at least £1/kWh for a small petrol genni. m@

    On my old boat, I had similar power requirements to you. I found that 60W solar + running the engine once a week, would provide all the power I needed through the summer. I didn't bother with a controler, just wired the panels straight to the batteries (With a fuse) m@

    Thanks Chalky and Dave, makes sense now. I was misled by a manual, quote- "To drain the cooling system, remove the plug or open the tap located in the right hand side of the cylinder block" doh

    I would like to put fresh coolant in my 1500 BMC but can't find the engine block drain tap! Anybody know where it is? m@

    Or how about bonding the tegs on the hull as the cold side, and delivering heat via pipes from the back-boiler to a small radiator on the hot side? m@

    Are you sure it is for Diesel? Diesel is not normaly burnt with a wick because of it's high flash point. Any chance of a photo? m@

    From the data sheet: "Suitable for hot and cold portable water" Should be OK on a boat then! m@

    I have a length of heavy chain in mine to keep everything tight. Can't have them taut, the river can go up 3 feet overnight! Springs are a good idea, but I wouldn't trust springs! If pulled around, the clove hitch can work loose. Perversely, it can also jam when wet. {http://knots-guide.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html} m@
