Here's the background. For about 9 years I have known about having 1 of

vertical side of the engine. This creates

Joel,
When the panels heat up they become less and less efficient. That's the
reason for controlling their heat if possible. If mounting on a fabric
such as a Bimini I can't imagine that adding a coroplast backing would
change the temperature very much since the fabric is already pretty thin.

This is a pretty good guide. Matches Chuck's suggestions for the most part.

I have experience but my panels are flexible and total 200w. I am also
considerably further south in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay.
I have an Gensun MPPT-boost charge controller for each of the 2 panels.
They are rated for a 105w panel but I think based on the angle of the solar

I've removed/replaced the HP pump. The inboard fuel lines are really only
best reached with the other fuel lines removed. It kinda sucks. There is
also an upper fuel fitting and a lower pump discharge check valve fitting.

Epoxy and glass is a bit different than G10 (which is technically
fiberglass and epoxy.) The rated compression and deflection strength are
competitive with any other material. Especially when you get to the 1/2
