Two 130 amp solar panels? Maybe two 130 watt which might give you 20 amps in ideal conditions.

Good Luck

Here's a site that's a serious time-waster for divers http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/matrix/ One note of caution: While there is a lot of good information, the site is not as "friendly" as this one. Lots of people trying to pee in each others Cheerios. I usually just use the search in the main...

Saw this on the Alaska Craigslist if anyone is interested. Not sure if the seller is a member. http://anchorage.craigslist.org/boa/397122245.html

Upper 2's to lower 3's depending on the package and options.

The engine compartment on the Ocean Sport is one of the premier features as far as I am concerned. Even with twin diesels there was total access to all points on the engines, as well as all the batteries in the array(6 if I remember correctly on the set-up I saw). The flush hatches on the rear...

Jeanne and I spent quite a bit of time at the last 2 SBS looking at the Ocean Sport Roamer. Big boat, hefty price tag, but far and away the nicest boat we saw at the boat show. The layout, attention to detail, and fit and finish were far superior to any boat in any price range. Not a rough...

If your "Factory authorized repair station" is who I think it is, you are far better off doing your own repairs.

I was going to try to post again yesterday, but every time I sat down something else would come up. I am not familiar with the Teck cable mentioned, but it sounds a lot like a jacketed MC cable we use. Ours has a jacket rated for direct burial, and is sunlight resistant. We use miles of it in...

Yeah,the price of copper is out of sight. We lost 1000' of 500mcm cable to some wire thieves, along with some other smaller runs. If I remember correctly it weighs about 2#/ft. 2000# @ $1.85/# for scrap, someone made off with a bundle. Cost us about 12K to replace it. My experiences with AL...

EDIT TO ABOVE POST Price seemed high when I looked it up on the internet, not sure about the website I used, not my standard price sheet, but I was looking for something in your area. I called my supplier. He quoted me $3270.00/ 1000ft, so 2250 ft @ 3.27 = $7357.50 for conductor. We're a...

Intro: Master Electrician/ Electrical Adminstrator, 30 years in trade. Some random info for you, only having your description, and limited info, these are only estimates (guesstimates) on my, and should not be used for the actual installation. 1) You have a 240 v single phase service (2...

Thataway, Did your boat come from the factory with that white glop smeared all over the fittings as shown in the picture? Also, what is the purpose of the black plastic fitting with the white hose running through it?

I would suggest doing ALOT more research. The Gulf of Alaska (Cordova to Glacier Bay) is no place for a shallow draft 22' boat irregardless of the name painted on the side. Even 100' commercial fishing vessels run for cover or move further offshore when the weather kicks up there. Last week I...

My choice would be barge from Seattle, might be the best way to go. Either Sealand or Peter Pan as posted earlier. Less fuss and muss, Just shrink wrap the boat in Seattle, send it on the deck of a barge. I've seen many boats shipped that way. Yes the is a road from Naknek to King Salmon, should...
