Hi Brad, Here are photos from my shunt installed on the forward bulkhead as you mentioned as well as the general arrangement in the compartment.
Question: Does your setup have three batteries and if so what are their sizes and locations? I would like to add a third battery and I'm not sure where to put it. 20171001_141328.jpg <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eC9D3QLB2UFpeBMcohOoz3ckg8b-Jy3Q/view?usp=drive_web> 20171001_141144.jpg <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nAn8ZAHPBahyjFtnBeDDVtp3yv2MoNWm/view?usp=drive_web> 20171001_141139.jpg <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JgUGO6N-7cKvGyQi_JgSfvj3nvkyhb6v/view?usp=drive_web> 20171001_141613.jpg <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WMTiSVBKXFuFrRFygIxfpWWSdrr7iKBs/view?usp=drive_web> -- Tim Rutherford '81 C&C 36' KCB #244 Chamamé tim.rutherford.m...@gmail.com 813 748 4888 cel/text On Mon, Jun 11, 2018 at 4:26 PM, Dave Godwin via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Slightly off-topic but battery monitor related, after sailing off Croatia > last summer I decided to buy one of these > <https://www.panbo.com/simarine-pico-good-ideas-in-battery-monitoring-more/> > No support in the U.S. but I’m always up for something new.
