Hi
So, I have a bow thruster fitted to the barge - powered by 12V battery in the bow - charged via the engine alternator...
I also have my water tank forward in the bow and I was wondering...Could I use the 12V battery of the Bow thruster to power the water pump? Obviously, yes - but I do not wish to run the engine to recharge the battery for the small amount of work a water pump requires - so, I'm thinking about a separate solar kit specifically to charge this battery. I see 100W kits for around 100 quid with the controller included. Are there any concerns about this setup i need to factor in? All help appreciated.
Cheers
Alistair
