We were recently priced out of our slip when Huizenga bought our marina and increased our slip fee 400% so we are on a mooring in the intra-coastal now and learning to deal with the battery charging challenge given we use our Westerbeke diesel engine and a genset. We've been looking at the solarstik system which we can mount on a vestigial radar mount on our stern. The system has two solar panels and a mount for a wind generator. We've checked the units out over the last year and have heard nothing negative about them so we're getting ready to pull the trigger and install a system. Hope this is of interest for your given application and if anyone has any good or bad to say about solarstik I'd appreciate hearing from you before we write the check!
