It's a '74 mk2, hull #243, named "Chimo V". I was there on Saturday to look at the boomkicker vang, but it was already gone, as was the main and quite a few other items. Ending up getting a twin block Schaefer mainsheet setup in ok shape and a few original cleats to add midships for spring lines. T

What battery does the alternator connect to? If your relay/contactor only senses one of them, it would be that one ;) Joe Coquina From: Len Mitchell Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2020 1:18 PM To: Stus-List Subject: [EXTERNAL] Stus-List Re: Solar power in ACR environment  Thanks Joe, I was tryin

 Thanks Joe, I was trying to keep it simple. I guess I should have asked if the house bank increased in voltage would it activate the ACR? My “ACR” is not made by Blue Sea, it’s made by Heart or Xantrex and I didn’t want to assume Blue Sea. Technically they are actually a contactor but they do

The ACR is a relay, not a diode. It conducts current either way. What is variable is which battery it senses to make decisions. It could be house, start, or both of them. All it does is connect at X voltage and disconnect at Y voltage. X is probably about 13.8 and Y is probably about 13.4 or so

Anybody know if the (stock?) 40 gallon aluminum tank under our aft berth is baffled? I am planning to extend the bed and simultaneously cut an access into the tank to clean out gunk and buildup as I assume it's never been done and would like to know if I need to buy two access hatches or if I can

If the house bank is getting charged it could just be about amp hours in and amp hours out too! What size is the solar panel? Is there any load on the house bank like refrigeration etc? Is the solar panel mounted in uninterrupted sun? Is the panel performing, how many amps at peak? Has it been clou

My solar panel connects straight to the house battery. My alternator also connects straight to the house battery. The ACR senses voltage on the house battery and connects when it gets high enough to charge the start battery. The ACR can also be connected to sense the start battery, in which case
