Barry Connor #25601 Hi Ian, We am thinking of solar panels for our 54. Had not thought of pivoting them on the back rails. Could you send a photo of yours on the back rail. Thank's and Best Barry & Penelope 'Lady Penelope II' AMEL 54 Marseille toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On Feb 27, 2016, at 5:14 PM, parkianj@...

They pivot out of the way easily to walk by, and they also pivot easily to direct at right angles to the sun. I only fitted 75 watt panels when 100 watt ones would have been about perfect. But we have no freezer. Still, at anchor it takes two days for the batteries to drop to 82%. Then I just boost them up with the generator. On the rail you can also wash the salt off them and keep the glass clean easily. Ian Ocean Hobo. SN96 Sent from my iPod
