I just spoke to a customer service rep at Ideal who says the 316 stainless is their most corrosion resistant product. Their 316 clamps have stainless band and screw...some have ferrous band and SS screw. She didn't know how long to expect them to last. Expensive little buggers.

Hi Richard,
Regarding your recommendation to buy Ideal clamps. The come in two grades of stainless; 410 and 300 both with 5/8” bands. Does it matter which grade?

Hi Richard,
Mine is 009. And has a 12 battery/12V bank.
Do you have any suggestions regarding inverters, or smart control panels? I am learning from my cabin experience that there are many types.

I would like any input on a new battery plan for the A54 I have just started a solar program for a cabin and I have been advised that 6 volt 200 ah Trojans are the way to go for this off grid mountain cabin. The vendor is telling me these are low maintenance and will withstand even -30F temps. It would seem that this might be a good choice for the boat as well? I do not recall the size of the 12V batteries. I searched for a file or link to other posts that would also cover all aspects of the boats electrical system. I would appreciate any suggestions.
