Hi Peter
In Response To: Wiring? ()

Duplex wire runs from the panels through an air vent inside the cockpit cubby on each side of the boat. The positive wires go to an in-line 15A fuse then to the controller, and the negative to a nearby bus bar (I'm going from memory but pretty sure this is right). The controller then feeds the main battery. I left a few extra feet of wire in the run so that I am able to move the panels onto the side decks for winter storage. I've never had to un-wire the panels but the simplest method would be to undo the cover of the junction box on the underside of the panels, and detach the wires there.

Juanona will be at Finestkind in a couple weeks, happy to show you the setup anytime.
