Anchored off one of our favourite beaches. Had a good chat with the Marine Unit as they cruised by. 10th Line Beach, Innisfil. Lake Simcoe.

Re: CIVID Boating
Good old Florida, we aren't too smart here... took the jetski for a ride... 100's of people here... we also just broke another record for infections. Zoom in.. ![Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020499/uploads/editor/ws/brcr80779aym.jpg](https://us.v-cdn.net/5020499/uploads/editor/ws/brcr80779aym.jpg)

Re: Solar Panels
yeah 50w, without a draw, will most likely do it, though i didn't ask you the capacity or do the math to support it.. my gut tells me that is sufficient to tend. i'd select one with an adjustable controller and meter the voltage to not exceed 15.5vdc... you can actually use as small as 14ga wire on this from within 20' or so- it's not like a massive amount of juice is flowing through the wire, which is why i like them so much... you can find a place where the exposure and convenience (as in 'not in the way') is good as a primary concern, and then worry about how you're going to wire them in... and don't get real hung up on the adjustable controller thing, either... if they are marketed as 'battery chargers' (most if not all are), then they're already playing voltage games to maximize their appeal...
some controllers are smart and actually sense when all the cells are producing, and what they're connected to- and throw everything they can at the batteries WHEN they can, and shut off when they could be a liability...
start poking around them a bit and you'll find precisely what you're needing...
there is a guy living near me who took the top off his 36v golf cart and formed a solar panel to it- you can hardly tell it's there- ran wires down the 1" tube stock of the tops frame, through the fiberglass body and to his battery's main block... stepped a 72v array to 44vdc, and keeps his cart fully charged rarely plugging it in. wanna guess where i got most my intel about these things from? heheheheeeee

Re: Rinker 330/340 2008+ Random Topics
I pulled the amp out and set everything as you suggested @LaRea - the hum was still present so I dropped the gain down to zero and now everything is perfect.

Re: CIVID Boating
Some people just don’t understand the repercussions of their actions, hopefully signs like this will send home the message:
