Finally... the new alternator and voltage regulator are installed and functioning! It really wasn't too hard, but the wiring and calibration for the voltage regulator took some time. We had lots of help from our friend Pete (the old salt), and our other friends, Kenny, Paul, and Pete.
We're making the conversion to 100% DC; we've removed our old fridge, and the microwave. Sailors don't need ice, or hot pockets! Hopefully, this week we'll get the solar panels up and running, and we're almost ready to go. Theres going to be a swap meet here at the marina on the 16th, so we'll stay for that and try to get rid of some stuff, then, get outta here! We need to go sailing soon, maybe a day sail or two here in Ensenada next week, then south!
Hi Karin/Joe, glad to see you guys are doing so well with the repairs and new projects. I am saying prayer to keep you safe. I assume reading your posts you are still in Mexico and have company along the way. I envy you but will take my RV anyday with the microwave/fridge and coffeepot (my essentials. Love ya Sister Clara
