Cam Needs Electrical Help
Hey guys,

I got a PM from Cam. Appears he saw a picture of my Catalinas electrical system and wants to match it on his Tayana. He sent me a picture of his electrical and engine room looking for suggestions. Not sure what to tell him. Could you guys help?? I was beyond suggestions.



Thanks.

That explains a lot... what Cam wanted was this:



What Cam could afford is this:




Yes, Cam's new RV is coal-powered.. Good thing he has relatives in coal country.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

CD-

The sad part is that the coal-powered RV isn't photoshopped... it's real... IIRC, Winnebago is restoring it as a project... probably for some RV museum.

Perhaps he was asking your advice because of the similarity with Catalinas?

Electronics are easy, you have to balance it out.

Find the wires coming from your battery. Take the red wire, usually has a '+' symbol and put it in your left ear, and the wire with the '-' on it in your right ear, the help screen will appear in front of your eyes.
