Hi, sorry to attend with a question! I am Arnold with the SM 203. I bought the boat this year and I also have a shaft alternator in connection to my Autoprop. First I did´n check if it is working ready. I also out of understanding how it should work with a Autoprop. On my panel is a warning not to use when engine running! Have only test if the shaft with Autoprop turns with engine off under sails and he do! How is the correct operation of the shaft alternator? Engine OFF Gear reverse Switch shaft alternator ON????
Can anybody give me the procedure?????
Thank you
Arnold SY Zephyr SM203

Volker, Doesn’t your Santorin have a propellor shaft alternator? I don’t think you can use this with a folding prop. I would not be without the electricity this gives me. My batteries are almost always 100% charged when sailing with all instruments and autopilot working. Ian
