I just had my old and yes
noise Air
Marine wind generator up on my mizzen and ran #6 wire down the
mast to the
deck. With all this great
New England weather we are having I've had time to think the best way to run the wires from the
deck to the
battery bank and think that if I run the wires to the negative post on the main
engine and the positive wire to the positive post on the
alternator on the main
engine the #6 cable would be a shorter run to the
battery bank and the cable from the
alternator to the battery bank is a #00 and I would think I would have less voltage drop because of less resistance using the #00 which is at least a 15 - 20 foot run. The length of #6 cable would be about 8 feet to the alternater and 20-25 feet to the battery bank. Any thoughts or ideas would be great.
