Re: Electrically powered dingy on a mothership sailboat that only anchors
Speaking of shadowing, if you have a bunch of solar panels... maybe a wind generator and regen, what do you do? Do you take a number of controllers and gang them together, or is there a controller

Re: Electrically powered dingy on a mothership sailboat that only anchors
I would agree. Most mounting must be industrial quality. After seeing almost anything fly off deck though well lashed down, manual setting works best. My experiments tell me in a stationary setting

Re: Electrically powered dingy on a mothership sailboat that only anchors
Your post raises more questions. Do the panels follow the sun?... my panels when flat produce 1/4 the power. At best 4/5ths of rated power. Just because the voltage is up mid day tells you nothing.

Re: Electrically powered dingy on a mothership sailboat that only anchors
Because each battery bank has its own charge profile. So each mppt should be set up for the two very specific and different charging profiles? <mosslandingcreatures@...> wrote:

Re: Electrically powered dingy on a mothership sailboat that only anchors
Victron allows you to divert power to other sources once batteries are full.. a common use is to make more/hotter water for domestic use, but I don¡¯t see why you couldn¡¯t divert to another charger

azimuthing thrusters?
Good morning, Group Does anyone know of a reasonable source for an azimuthing thruster in the 50hp range? I¡¯m investigating adding an electric azimuthing thruster to a 100+/- ton canal barge.

Re: What plugs are on the Torqeedo 4R?
I bought a 20Ah electric bike battery to test using with my Torqeedo.? Obviously, I'll only be able to run the Torqeedo at very, very low speeds - but first would like to figure out what kind of plug

Re: What plugs are on the Torqeedo 4R?
Yes, the 48V battery connectors on the power cables.? I believe they are "Anderson connectors" (?).? Maybe 120A?? ?At 4000W (max for the Torqeedo 4R), that would be ~83A at 48V, so 120A rating
