Hello all, For years on our C&C 27 MKIII we used a 40 watt or so solar panel with a charge controller, and the panel mounted on our sliding hatch to charge our batteries (a series 24 and 27) on the mooring. We used a battery combiner to keep the starting and house battery charged.
We also had a small inverter that would have been sufficient to power a coffeemaker, but we used it for a flat panel TV. Overall, it worked well, and we never had concerns about our batteries being charged. The new owner has kept the batteries in the boat over the winter, getting topped off by the solar panel. It has been an inexpensive, elegant solution that worked well for us. Bruce Whitmore 1994 C&C 37/40+ "Astralis" (847) 404-5092 (mobile) bwhitm...@sbcglobal.net
