[Rhodes22-list] Ice Box

[Chris Geankoplis]

Thanks Bob,
		What wattage did the two panels produce?  What were the amp
hours the unit consume? No rush, just curious and looking for an alternative
to Rummy's plan.

Chris

I have two group 27 batteries with two solar panels and they are also
charged by the motor.  The batteries could keep up with only the solar
panels for a few days but not indefinitely.  While cruising I usually use
shore power but can also anchor out with no problems.  When day sailing with
the boat in the water I just turn it off and use a carry-on cooler.  The
real benefit is when we go on week-long trips.  It is one less thing to
worry about and we can also bring steaks and chicken along, keep them frozen
and eat them later in the week.  Not having to restock the ice box is one
less thing to do at the end (or beginning) of the day.  There is already
plenty to do as it is.
