I have spare parts hanging around that got me thinking and Dinghy box, if I remember correctly, was not cheap.
The rocking manual pump needs more motion than my location can manage. I am thinking a 10 watt panel should be enough and will fit nicely on the center seat... David F.

It was designed in a plastic box that had a solar panel on top, battery within, Nd internal float switch and pump. I can't remember what is was called, maybe dinghy tender or something like that.

I am thinking of putting a auto bilge pump, motorcycle battery and solar panel charge in my RIB. Anyone try it? David F.

I would be looking to invest in a larger panel rather than a switch. If you want to stick to your plan a regular Blue Sea 1/2/all switch will likely do the trick.

The only trouble is, when I want to switch which battery I'm charging, I have to open the locker, open the battery box, disconnect the + and - connectors from one battery and switch them to the other. My question is - is there some type of A/B switch that will allow me to just hook + and - from both batteries to it and select which battery gets the juice from the panel? This is my solar charger. It's a really great little piece of equipment. http://www.amazon.com/CBC-GSP-6-Flexible-Solar-Panel/dp/B006GFPF30/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1459958952&sr=8-1&keywords=ganz+solar Ryan _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
