[Rhodes22-list] Solar Panel wiring

[Mark Whipple]

A second project I'm working on: the starboard solar panel was not charging
the battery. It is connected to the "house" battery which is beside the
head, on the port side. I found that one of the wires in the two wire cable
is not passing current. I suspect that there's a splice just below where it
comes through the cabin roof. In any case I need to trace that cable
through to find the problem.

The question: what do I need to remove to get at the underside of the
starboard solar panel? Before I start removing screws it would be good to
have a plan - even if the plan has to change in mid stream. Of course, I
may just connect the two batteries temporarily to keep them charged and go
sailing. Eventually.

Thanks,
