I did this repair about 5 years ago. I got ahold of teak and holly with a 1/4" teak strip. With a 1/8" router bit and a guide I removed 1/2 of the teak strip and laid in a strip of ash which matches

Re: Preventing kelp from blocking the raw water intake

Re: solar panel set up for sabre 32 on mooring
FWIW: The [a?] tech fellow at Ocean Planet told me about the +5V issue with Victron controllers, and for lower voltage panels he recommended the Genasun Boost controllers. Seemingly they can increase
