Getting ready for some serious long distance sailing, I decided to build an electrical/solar system for my cat. I goal is to be able to charge my tablet, VHF and run navigation lights. To do this I incorporated a 3.2Ah battery, volt meter, solar controller, usb charger and vhf charger in a water proof box mounted to the forward cross beam.
Here it is mid build
The box is done
Mounted on the boat with the 20W panel also mounted
All that is left to do is add the navigation lights start testing
