I think your plan is just fine and you'll be very happy with the Raymarine gear. I changed to B for my new boat, but that was because it has some pretty advanced functions and integrates well with the Expedition planning software, which I don't pretend to understand, but my navigator does! Andy

I would not put a solar panel without a controller, even if it puts only 1 A. Why? I murdered two batteries this way. My panel was 15 W, so hardly tons of current, but each battery lasted just about a season. I thought that spending extra $50 for a controller was a waste of money. I blamed the

Hi Ron, Your laminate update is exactly the right thing to do. Simple, cost effective and no extra weight. Not at all like replacing a functional top with a few slabs of polished rock or something that looks like it belongs in a condo. I admit to being a bit opinionated around yachts and

Windstar has two parallel group 31 batteries as the house bank, and a single start battery with a 20a multi bank smart charger. For winter I top up the electrolyte , and leave the shore power cable connected to the well-covered boat, coiled and hanging from the prop shaft. Charger turned on.
