Thanks Franklin!
Thanks Franklin for your fast response!Your solution for batteries will help me a lot. I was looking to fit 2 8D batteries and had trouble to fit them in!For water, we came to the same solution. I will not use the empty space in front of our watertank, I am afraid it will put to much weight on the bow. I will strap an extra 50 gallons blader somewhere in the boat.If you don't mind, I wish to share some thought about electrical system, that I wish to adapt for my trip in coming weeks. I know that I should have a daily power requirements of 100-120 amp-hours for refrigeration, lights, GPS,watermaker, etc. So I am upgrading my battery bank to 400 Ah (gell-cells), my alternator to a KKK-rated 150-amp as a backup power supply.My problem is to choose how to charge my battery bank without if possible using the engine. The first possibility,of course, is two KYOCERA 130 watts solar panels plus an Air-X Marine Wind Generator, but I am not sure it should be enough. The second solution is a Marine Fuel Cell supplying around 100 amp-hours dayly, but I have to buy and carry methanol, there is some professionnal maintenance to do and it is a quite new technology (maybe unreliable?). You opt yourself for solar panels and genset. Do you have any opinion and preference and why on those three different options?Thanks!
