Hi Charlie,

Have to thank you for your input on my thread about the Yanmar / Battery circuit. I have found it very difficult to find consistent information about this. It's like putting 10 economists in a room - you get 10 different opinions. Your posts are clear and, more importantly, have references. I am very happy with the current design and I'm sure it will work well on the boat.

This stuff is important to me. I have a fairly good grasp of DC circuits (used to be a telcom tech) but there are significant differences when applying to boats. A lot of people urge me to get professional advice - and I will get someone to go over it - but where's the fun in that. I learn by researching and doing. I want a deep understanding of how all this works.

Cheers

Steve
