[Rhodes22-list] Thank-you Bill and Bill

[Michael Meltzer]

unfortunly., the 4 day week has me behind. so a quickly until later(if still needed)

1)The Honda genset will not living on the boat, it can visit but not live their, second 110 and water are not a good mix, be very
careful, this is not a build in setup.

2)a 30 watt solar panel on the pop-top will give you more power and a second batty will cover wekend to weekend, it a runtime issue
and simpler to live with

3)you need 3000-6000 ghp to cover a 1-2 inch hole, with big piping to cover those rate,PINTA once the boat is built, also it would
pull 15+ amp when running so what you relly want to do is "dewater", you can use any builge pump, reduce the output to 1/2 inch and
feed it out with break/value, the other problem is you have to watch out for osiliation in the system from oversized pipes, also a
good idea to put a sounder across the pump.
