And other small news
I replaced the engine’s air filter aka air cleaner aka inlet silencer.
I also sanded a bolt, washer, and spade terminal that connected the house batteries to the battery isolator.
I also noted that the battery’s resting voltage is 12.9V. And that in two days about 3 Amps had been drained. So at this rate, the batteries would reach 50% capacity in 100 days or so. I will continue to monitor.
Tomorrow looks like a day with no wind but Sunday may be our first opportunity to try the new sails. I am hoping to muster enough energy to go and replace the engine coolant tomorrow.
