Efficient Solar Energy Use: Dump Load Setup with Victron Cerbo GX

In this video i install a fresh water pump and cockpit shower, a salt water pump/salt water wash down/anchor wash down, including a salt water fish cleaning station.
During the summer months i have too much solar, so I also program a solar dump load thru a relay in my Victron Cerbo GX that will activate when my battery state of charge goes above 98% and will shut off again once SOC goes below 96%.
Enjoy!

Another well put together and informative video. The highlight for me? Referring to Hervey Bay and Fraser as ‘up north’ 🤣

[@slightadrift]

Haha everywhere is up north to someone! Cheers matter👍🍺

@7:20 me thinks, wow, sparky looks very similar to that person I see in the mirror. Suggestion with the anchor, fill the well with water, bicarb & vinegar, let it soak, spray bottle the rest.

Get yourself a roll of byutl tape far better for sealing stuff in/on your deck.

[@slightadrift]

Hey mate, I loathe butyl tape. It’s either a love or hate thing I find. Cheers for the tip tho 👍🍺
