First, I have sold my Ericson 27, but I continue to be engaged in the facebook forums and continue to seek wisdom on this forum. I took possession of a Pearson 36-2 (1990) with a brand new yanmar (6 hours at the time). Of course, the boat had some things to work on and a surprise or two that I learned about on the trip from CT to VA.
All that to say, I hope a random generic question from a former ericson owner is permitted or at least tolerated.
My question is, what advice do you have regarding coupling with a wind turbine in combo with my solar panels? Or can you point me to recent threads. I have only found old threads. I'm learning about all this. But I'd like to know makes and models, things to consider.
I'm in the midst of figuring this all out (and learning from almost zero knowledge on solar etc.). I came down the coast with 2 200w rigid panels "beverly hillbillied" on to the bimini. It worked. But they are too long and were attached in solid yet temporary fashion. Those panels did save me given some surprises.
Thanks,
Jay
