I'm curious what size batteries and onboard charging systems P-19 owners =
are using while cruising off shore for 2-3 days? I've seen =
recommendations anywhere from 1.5 to 4 times the Ah need. I've =
estimated my daily Ah need at 50.

Also, what type of onboard charging systems are people using? Is anyone =
using the charger option for the Nissan 5 h.p. motor? If so, how long =
are you running the motor to recharge? I've looked at solar and wind =
chargers but I'm concerned about their ability to always meet demand.

Impatiently waiting for P-19 to arrive.
