Really want to add solar, but not quite sure where to mount it yet. In the mean time, the 6 hp motor can charge the battery. Hope to use the motor very little, so solar will be nice to have. Always like to have a couple ways of doing something.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-23099249545477956892010-11-07T11:46:52.606-05:002010-11-07T11:46:52.606-05:00Saw some flexible 30 watt solar panels at Amazon a...Saw some flexible 30 watt solar panels at Amazon at a pretty good price.

I want solar on the boat, but want to sail it a bit first so I'll know where to put the panel without it being in the way.<br /><br />Mayberry. That makes another good review for Garmin. A sea kayaking buddy of mine has been using the same Garmin unit for 12 years. Hope you get your own sweet boat soon.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-89586232612444115982010-11-07T09:22:46.891-05:002010-11-07T09:22:46.891-05:00I like Garmin myself.

You and yours will have a lot of fun with it.<br />When I first looked at the picture, I thought that the solar array was mounted on the boat and I wondered how the sails would clear it. Glad you cleared that up. BTW you could put a small array on the boat. No trees in the ocean to block the sun.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.com
