Every job on a boat is difficult
I spent the next eight hours kneeling on my bed with my
whole torso inside the battery compartment with arms stretched out. It was hot
and harder than I expected and I accidentally blew a fuse during the operation
and it took me several more hours finding out what went wrong and rectifying
the situation.
I also re-installed an automatic engine charge solenoid that
I had removed in Perth before leaving, thinking that it wasn’t required………..Doh
!!
With this new equipment I can accurately monitor the state
of charge in my house battery bank and automatically charge both battery banks while
the engine is running. This will take away all the guess work and save a lot of
worry about having flat batteries in the middle of nowhere.
Which wire goes where ?
It was Australia day and Dave had his Aussie music blaring
and Aussie flags up and I really wanted to spend the day with him relaxing and
drinking beer, but it was nearly dark by the time I got my electrics back
together and I was totally exhausted.
I quickly cleaned up and then we all headed off again to a restaurant
on one of the small Islands for a nice feed and a few beers.
