My solar panels are the same make as yours. I have problems with mine and have had them replaced. It seems they degrade fast. Are yours ok?

[@SailingAurora]

I had to replace one of the 55watt ones recently as it was only putting out 14v or so. Interesting to know though, was it just one?

[@johanhackman]

@@SailingAurora I have two panels and they have both been replaced several times. It seems the amperage goes down after a year or so. It is a lot of work to get them out of the Sika and get the new ones in so it is not just a matter of complaining to the company.

[@SailingAurora]

@johanhackman very true, I found out I had applied abit too much sika and it became alot of work to remove one. I hope I don't have to do it again so soon

What do you mean by "alternator is not regulated". I think all regulator outputs are regulated for improvement of DC output (no overvoltage etc.) Did you mean protected? Nice scenery and many boats! 😀

[@SailingAurora]

When the alternator goes over temperature the output current is not taken down to regulate the temperature. If you are not careful it will just burn up

I noticed that the freezer was set at -18C. Have you considered increasing the setting to lower the current draw on the battery? Cheers.

Hello, the freezer turns on and off to keep the fridge temperature down. When I did this video our fridge was not insulated and was running 50% of the time. The freezer temperature will fluctuate between -2 and -18/20. Since I insultated the fridge I have taken the on time to about 25%
