Removal is either a multiple person job (supporting from below, yes) or

Matt...my 1981 40 has a similar configuration but bolt and wheels are oriented
athwartship. I also put in new bushings in my tube by drilling out just
enough for a new insertion. Was not easy but even my crude machinations seemed
to work.

I'm guessing the rudder post is 3 inches or so in diameter. How on

Hi Matthew
There is a fellow doing exactly that for me on Persistence. He is a machinist
and has some sort of tool he made for that. When he does the job next month I

You can safely drop a rudder with two people. I did mine alone as follows.

My boat has a house bank and a starting battery with an ACR controller so that
the ‘banks’ are ‘equalized’ when a charging source is available—shore power or
engine alternator.
I added a solar panel to maintain the batteries without the hazards of leaving
the boat on shore power charging when I
The battery monitor is probably not setup for a charger voltage to be
entering from the cigarette lighter. To better establish the actual
conditions of your setup you need to provide the terminal voltage of each
of the batteries. You also need to provide the chemistry of each of the
batteries.

My understanding is that the ACR is usually connected to the start battery
and when it’s charged the relay switches to house. The controller should be
connected to the start so the relay can function

Depending on the ACR design and how it is setup it may sense either battery
OR both batteries. If sensing both, then any time either battery voltage
is greater than ~13.3ish the ACR connects the two. This is the simplest
and most straightforward design but you'd have to read the owners manual.

Two comments, Charlie.
If I recall correctly, the Blue Seas ACR only passes current if there is a
specific voltage difference between the battery with higher voltage (or
charging source) and the battery with lower voltage. I don’t recall the exact
parameters, but it is in the installation in
Charlie,
I have almost the same setup you have, a solar panel feeding through the
controller directly to my house battery, and I have an ACR installed.
When the solar panel is putting out current after a few minutes the LED
on the ACR lights which shows the two batteries are connected. The

The ACR (usually) opens at 13.3 V (maybe at 13.5 V, I don’t remember). It is
possible that the solar battery does not provide enough voltage to make ACR
pass the current.
If the battery being charged does not reach that level, the ACR will not close
the circuit to the other bank.

Josh makes good points.
Also, wiring the solar through a cigarette lighter port is poor advice. The
gauge of wiring going from it to a house even with an ACR would never work
and only be a trickle charge at best. I'm guessing the cigarette lighter
wiring is probably a 16 guage, right? Thats a prob
Brian,
While I tend to agree that a cigarette lighter might not be the best
solution, I hesitate to say that it won't work. In the case that the solar
charge system is intended to be portable, temporary, and easy to deploy
quickly it might be a very effective solution. Most cigarette lighter
