Major work undertaken


A complete rewire has been carried out on Ellen Rose, including a two battery set up (2 x 85amp) with a Sterling battery charger. I am going to add a RCD board garage unit to feed the charger and supply two sockets. This keeps the shore power separate, I believe the rectifier in the battery charger stops any reverse direction, although I'm still researching this set up.

Whilst at home I have knocked up a cockpit floor board out of mahogany, screwed, glued and plugged pic. Hope it fits!
