[Rhodes22-list] Quick question on hatch and pop top enclosure

[Charles Nieman]

couple of questions Lee....
1. What does the Admiral not allow at home? Splashing? Hatches??????
2. If you only had one solar panel the weight difference might make the boat tip over??? are you certain??? I would have thought that it would make the battery only charge while on a port tack ... or only half the day while in harbor????
