New Years Day - Finished all of the work that I have been doing this year on the Lagoon 450 that is soon to start on a round the world excursion. I plan to put a web page together at some point to document all of the work that we did on the boat which was extremely extensive.
Last minute problems cropped up with the dual 160amp alternators that we added. These alternators have temperature sensors mounted on them and the regulator was programmed to start shutting the output down at 100 degrees C and then complete shutoff at 130. We had to modify that shutoff setting to 110 deg C.
Looks like the alternator MIGHT(?) have overheated a bit.
Finished last minute work and waiting on one order of automotive type resettable ATC breakers which was supposed to ship on 12 Dec but I've not yet been able to speak to a real person to find out what happened due to a possible holiday shutdown.
Tomorrow is a day off and will go for a long walk with Lesley and Lewis and then start putting spares and stuff back on our boat.
HAPPY NEW YEAR - were did 2014 go?
