What do you mean "very weak"? 7 volts is 7 volts, or is it reducing as you measure it, the capacitive charge that's been suggested? This...

I can't see any reason to swap from the VSR - its a good piece of kit, works well and the B2B will not add anything and may do less -...

How will a 18a or 25a B2B charge the batteries faster than a 40a alternator ? If you charge LA batteries at 15+ volts they aren't going...

Same here. I use the handheld probably 90% of the time as it is convenient and does the job.

On a long cross tide trip like this it is better to work out the net tide offset for the whole projected sail and apply that at the...

That's expensive, as you only get the solar panel and controller. For a shed you only need a cheap panel and controller, plus the...
