Alternative eleectrical power for 1969 370
Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 8:24 pm
Hello All,
I'll start by saying this is a great website and forum. Our names are Trevor and Rebecca and we have recently purchased a 1969 Alcan 370 named Emerald Mist. We haven't had much time on her but I am sure we will grow to love her. The boat came without the onan generator that had been installed on it. I am trying to gather information regarding a battery bank of 6 volt batteries as well as any upgrades that may be required for charging. We hope to spend at least a week on her at a time. The boat currently has a "full" sized fridge in it. I was thinking of purchasing a 1K honda generator as a backup and to trickle charge the house batteries. Any information would be appreciated and I look forward to hearing from you.
