Hey, Capt Chill. I’ve been on and off this Forum since the day I bought our 1977 F26 HT and I’ve had some dreams come true and some nightmares to keep me up staring at the ceiling....all from the boat, “Blue Heron”. I’ve updated many of the electrics in the boat, going with LEDs for all lights inside and out (nav, anchor, salon, etc), and just added 2 170 watt solar panels, and the rest of the system this month. You could consider it, especially where you live. Check out my recent post “F26 Goes Solar” and I’d be happy to fill you in on living life off the dock with no genny running. Welcome aboard, albeit a bit late on my part.
