Electrical


Hatch w Solar Panel behind

Electrics.  We carried 2x heavy duty combined start/stowage batteries under port saloon bunk.  A demountable small rigid solar panel mounted on deck, connected directly to batteries when boat on mooring ensuring batteries always topped-up.

Engine Panel & Control + Bilge Pump

Mast wiring tinned, internal wiring heavy gauge household wiring.    
Switchboard, engine gauges, battery master switch and wiring installed by qualified electrician. 

Hull navigation lights, combined masthead tricolour navigation and anchor light, deck light, steaming light.
 Electronics.  I purchased Navman wind, speed, depth and log instruments to be installed and integrated with chart plotter and/or personal computer.  Never quite got round to it however.
Old VDO wind instruments were still fitted but I did plan to replace them one day with new gear.  VDO impellor log worked well.  Our Euromarine digital 100 metre depth sounder also worked well, transducer located inside hull. 
Fitted a 27mhz radio with antenna.
