When I sold my last small cruising yacht I offered her new
owner my Autohelm at a bargain price, but she did not want it. When she sold
the yacht I offered the Autohelm to the person who bought her for the same
bargain price, but he did not want it!
Now that I have ‘Sandpiper’, I’m glad I was unable to sell
the electronic gear, because I feel sure I shall be able to make good use of
it. Today I fitted the gizmo to ‘Sandpiper’, and tomorrow I would like to
install a suitable battery for it, along with the associated wiring.
I’ve not yet made up my mind whether to add a solar panel
for charging the battery, but if I’m only doing short cruises, I can charge the
battery at home. A compromise would be to fit a cheap trickle charger similar
to a Spectra 5W model.
