We have to figure out what the floor level should be above the battery box that we are building in our bilge for 8 LiFePo4 batteries (4 x 120Ah and 4 x 300Ah) that will drive our electric motor as well as the inverter for cooking etc.
Once we have the batteries installed and connected we can move onto the solar generation. We have unique plans for that as well :-)
Also in here is our learning about ANL vs Mega fuses which caused another change of plan.
This was a few days of faster progress as Jane has joined me for a week (half term), I wonder how far we will get this week!
We are refitting a 1977 Rival 38 Centre Cockpit Ketch for zero fossil fuel world cruising.
