Adding Solar To A Catboat

[@susanhawkes2519]

One of the most informative and clear videos I have ever watched.

Great video! I wish I had this 10 years ago when I was living on a 36ft Catalina. I was definitely mistreating my batteries because I did not know how the switch system was supposed to be used. I have since moved inland, and I never did get the solar panels installed.

Great information. Well done!

Great video! I've thought about doing something similar on a Sirius 21 but agonize about hanging panels off the transom. There's really no other place to mount them and retain any semblance of deck access, and I bet I can justify it by telling the wife it'll make climbing the ladder easier :)

So glad I found this! Great info. I have a 18' Herreshoff America Catboat with a Tohatsu 6 hp - Sail Pro, MANUAL START outboard. The Sail Pro version is fitted with an alternator (12V, 60W, 5A). I also plan on getting a solar panel. How would you approach your wiring diagram with my setup? Should I get two deep cycle AGM house batteries?
