Will probably install a wind generator along with solor panels. Would like any feedback on wind gererators. I have been told that Rutland makes the best.Thanks,JR

I very highly recommend that you visit the Web

site of Jack Rabbit Marine. This is the best, most "in depth" explanation of boat electrical systems I have ever seen. It also offers products and explanations of their functions in fulfilling these needs.I have a fairly strong background in this area and I was truely impressed with their presentation. Regardless of your background you will leave with a much, much better understanding of these systems, how they overlap and their costs.I have never dealt with JRM but I do very highly recommend their site. When we outfit our new boat this summer for our 7 yr. trip I am sure my business will go their way.Since I am still computer disfunctional I must offer their address the old fashion way.www.jackrabbitmarine.comRayS/V Speedy

thanks

Thanks to Pat and Ray for the info. Yes, I have visited jackrabbit. Of course the more I investigate solar and wind the more questions I end up with. Presently leaning towards more solar and purhaps will go without the wind. I think more consistent power with solar with somewhat less problems. Thanks again.JR

I have installed a Rutland on my 35.5. Only problem I have had is with the SR200 shunt box which was soon fixed and all is working fine. Best thing I ever did. Fridge can now work all the time.

Wind gen

I have an Airogen and it is fine, good power and not too noisy. We had a stainless arch made to fit the unit on a sliding panel on top. This will allow solar panels to be fitted without too much restriction on size.
