Many cheapo controllers say MPPT but do not actually contain the circuitry required. Genasun makes high quality MPPT controllers in the USA, and you can talk to the MIT educated engineers in Cambridge Massachusetts should the need arise. Bill Bina On 4/27/2016 9:19 PM, Josh Muckley via CnC-

Thanks guys, I had been focused on getting a Genasun. I was gonna do 2, one for each 100w panel. I had hoped to use their 5amp unit but in reviewing the specs it looks like I would exceed the ratings by a small margin. I looked at the 10amp unit but it is nearly twice the price. If they made a

Scanmar makes "Monitor" windvane. One of the options to the wind steering system is MRUD emergency rudder. I don't think you can just have emergency rudder without the actual windvane. I might be wrong. I am an owner of Monitor windvane and have used it for many years. It has water vane, wooden

Stus-List Lightning protection by design?

Hello gang. Thinking of warm weather and reading the great article on lightning protection by Glen Miller (thank you whoever sent the link). I could absorb most of the intent, although some of the detail was a little over my head. One of the most critical points he made was to connect the mast to

Re: Stus-List Lightning protection by design?

I think you're close, but I'd make sure of the connection between mast and keel bolt. The mast is key for conductance (aluminium is a much better conductor than stainless steel). ABYC would require a 4AWG primary conductor for lightning protection; a short strap from the mast to keel bolt would

I'm new to sailing. I sort of see what you are saying. How to I know what my PHRF rating is for a Mk II 30? And, how do I know what PHRF rating is for other boats? I assume there is a library somewhere? I'll google it tonight. Thanks. On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 2:30 PM, Joel Aronson via CnC-Li
