Re: Confessions of a novice fancy worker

I found this on youtube and think it's much easier to tie a bowline using these methods.

Re: Mounting horns on a sailboat?

If you have separate windlass battery, use that to power the horn and use lighter gauge wire to operate a relay which will switch the horn?

Re: Mounting horns on a sailboat?

Have you had a look at a Stebel Nautilus air horn? It's quite compact (I fitted it to my motorbike) and has lasted several UK winters with the associated road salt etc.

Re: What would you do?

Yip, that's what mine is. Also makes it easier getting under the hull when it's on the hard.:smile:

Re: How do I connect my new inverter

170A cables seems a bit extreme for a 300W inverter. I always thought the '300W' stated was the output power, therefore if the inverter is a 110V system it would be 300W/110V=less than 3A
