Hi Duncan. They were $2.59 to $2.99 apiece for the smaller ones and ~$6.75 for the bigger (3-5") ones. I'm not sure how many we'll need but I bought 20 ea of three smaller sizes (5/8-2 1/2") and 10 ea of two larger sizes (3-5"). I'm hoping to get to the boat this wkend and will report on what I used.

Kent, I contacted Ideal directly at their Tennessee distribution center. I am waiting to see if they will sell them to me as a distributor. I have a friend who has a steel service center within a mile of their center. Possibly he can get them for a good price. What was the cost of the AWAB. Also how many would you need and what size.

How’s the practice going? Going to see you down island this year?

Regards,

Duncan

Defender has AWAB 316 SS clamps at a better price than I could find Ideal. Still pricey but peace of mind.

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.
