Got the panel and Victron installed despite the cold.
Ran the wire through the coaming with a cable clam to the battery compartment where I put the controller. I was concerned that I was seeing nothing but voltage from the panel until I found that the reading in the app is amperage being sent to the battery by the charger, not the true output of the panel. If it's in float mode it will usually be zero.
Hopefully warm enough to tackle the inside wiring soon.
The 30watt panel tucks nicely in the pushpit for trailer travel.
