bought my first boat- in Africa, far from any West Marine....
After growing up sailing with my family on the Chesapeake, then living in various 3rd world ratholes for public health work, we've landed here in Dar es Salaam, sailing paradise. So although I can barely change a lightbulb, and my husband is not interested in sailing, I bought a 1967 Westerly 28 and am spending a lot of time reading these forums and googling "fiberglass repair" and "what is an amp?" It's amazing how much I don't know, and how little is available here, but the sailing is wonderful.
A specific question- who can give me advice on using solar power only for charging batteries, without having an engine/alternator as part of the system? my inboard was DOA so am putting a 15hp outboard on a bracket.
Thanks to all who have provided so much wisdom and practical advice- W
