I have a 20 foot Balboa that I would like to power for off of the grid use, for week end trips on the great lakes (2 to 4 days).
I have a deep cell battery and a Tohatsu 6hp sail pro outboard.
Sail pro electrical output is 12V 60W 5 Amp.
The battery is an energizer E24DCN Deep cycle marine/RV 675 Amp.
The loads will be navigation lights, cabin lights, depth sounder, am/fm radio, and a hand held marine radio.
Will I need a larger battery? Solar charging? How much will LED lighting help?
There is no electrical power where the boat is docked, currently the battery is only charged by the motor.
