Re: Solar Charging dual 12 volt and 48 volt lithium batteries

This switch has got me thinking. That could be dangerous. I looked at link looks like it's rated for 32 amps. Does anyone know the voltage rating. I'm hoping 120vac.

Mounting a Dwyer Mast hindge to the topsideon an Albin vega

I have a dwyer mast hinge. It comes with 4 holes in the bottom to attach to the boat.
I was thinking of using 5/16 stainless rod couplings glassed into the topside to bolt the hinge to. Or purchase 4 of dwyer spacer nuts and use them. Is this over kill?
Thanks in advance
Mike
