Hi, Thanks for the information, Perhaps I should have told you all that the solar panel is only very small and is only used when the boat is moored up for any time not being used. When I cruise I unclip the crocodile clips from the batteries. I recently had the BSS certificate done on the boat and the examiner does not like crocodile clips being used as he says they may flick off, so suggested that I wire the solar panel onto the batteries and put a switch in line so that I can switch the solar panel off when cruising. The instructions on the solar panel say not to cruise with the solar panel attached. I thought this would be a very easy job but am now worried that I have bitten off more than I can chew.
Now armed with the full story can anyone give me any more advice on the best way to do this job. regards
