    solar bilge pump

    though this area might be the best place to post.......

    no fish in the dam at my work but we do have a tinnie floating around. as all tinnies take on water when it rains and the fact we need to do a risk assessment everytime we need to hop in it i thought i would help the operators out..

    1 x milk crate
    1 x 10w solare panel
    1 x regulator
    1 x 20amp/hr full river battery
    1 x volt gauge

    worked just fine with all the rain over the weekend

    oh and the reason for a milk crate is that the system has to be removed when we need to work on the dam

    I assume you've incorporated some sort of switching device with an overlap setting. Or maybe that's built into the pump anyway.

    And after reading your posts, I'm now intriged as to what kind of work you do.

    Does this mean you've just taken your sniper rifle out of the gun safe?

    I was hoping I had a few more years left yet.
