We are back out in the islands and Doug Booth had fixed our solar problem. This thing was never installed properly. As Doug explains it that the engine battery should never be connected in parallel with the inverter. This is why the engine battery over heated. So we are back in the Island's and relaxing and enjoying our solar power.
Here are some pictures of our stay in the marina
Then we went back into the islands and we were anchored close to a party boat. Which turned out to be a good thing!
So we are back in the Islands and relaxing because our solar power is finally working as is it should. I always wondered why we never had enough power, and it is clear now why this never worked as it should. This caused a lot of grief as we over heated a battery and always wondered why power on the boat was never what it should have been. Doug Booth fix the problem because he under stood how it works and how it should have been installed. Doug Booth save us.
Thanks Doug!
