Hiya Bob.

We chose to use the inboard engine and have fitted an extra alternator + smart regulator so we get loadsa juice. An hour every other day does for us. The 60W solar panel that I fitted is in such a ineffective position (under the boom) it offers little. Keep thinking about a pole for the thing but as we are now heading North into those sunless lands I might just forget it.

Looking forwards to summer in the Ria's so if you anchor near me then take notice I run the engine periodically.
