The third solar panel (SP) on top of the bimini was put into place. We mounted the stern end the same as the others are mounted. The bow end we mounted using just a piece of flat aluminum stock that we used else ware for the SP installation. This will not work as it sags.
It took a lot of moving the
SP around to find the right location as there are many factors involved in this
otherwise simple install. There are the back stays and the bow for the bimini
and the bimini window and clearance for the bimini fabric etc.
The stern end is sagging
the stainless steel tubing that runs across the stern ever so lightly but this may not be an
issue. If so we can change that tubing to heavy walled or mount it the same way
we are going to mount the forward end, directly to the other two solar panels.
It is back to do more
engineering tonight!
