Waterdancer, although an amazingly good sailor (for a Irwin Center Cockpit)
has a a wing keel and a great Yanmar Turbo engine, but functions as a
floating apartment.
Hence the C&C 25.
Since we are both working, my wife would not be happy to have her home not
to be there when she comes back home.

And the oxygen may actually help :)
I know that if you overcharge a battery, or it is a bad battery, you get a
sulfur smell.
99% of the time I am running on shore power. The battery voltage oscillates
between 12.7 and 14.1
I suspect that most of the charging current goes directly to my consumption
Ah yes, I missed that...Ok, makes more sense!

The symptoms are (1) an unexplainable urge to find warm weather, (2) an urge to
get off the boat when it snows, and (3) cold feet in the winter. (Just kidding)
Life is full of dangers--the biggest one on the highway.
How did you manage to fit 5 group 27s under your cabin sole in a C&C 27? Are
Ahmet,
Symptoms? Kaboom!
During the charging process the same electrical current that is used to
charge the batteries also tears the chemical bonds in the water molecules
apart. This is know as electrolysis. The result is hydrogen and oxygen
gas. All lead acid batteries are subject to this
Ok, now I am worried
I have 5 group 27 wet cell batteries under my cabin sole. They are not
wented. And I live aboard full time with wife and 2 dogs. Am I living
dangerously ? I never smelled anything. What are the symptoms ?
