Off Grid On a budget

Yes I am looking to get some stick on rubber feet before I move the boat.

Also due to BSS standard I have to have everything fused, so am looking around for 12 volt switches, fuse boxes and so on, marine grade.

Just picked up your comment here Nemesis. My system is fully fused using an automotive fuse board with normal blade fuses.

This has been working fine for a number of years now. Maybe that would work for you too? I'm guessing that automotive grade is somewhat damp tolerant, but maybe not sufficient for marine use?

Solar is in place, just need secure the battery's in position.

I have found a water tank and waiting for more info on that.

Tap, water pump, hose all on order.

12 volt lighting I have received now and am happy with results.

Been insulating the boat on a budget and almost done the front of boat.

Painting almost done.

Now trying to find a multi fuel stove for a 23 foot boat, I want it small and would like glass front, this is becoming a pain and taking up a lot of my time, weight and size matters.

I will take pictures and offer up info soon enough.

Two useful looking products there Nemesis, there's always self-amalgamating tape too.

You either got a bad pump or installed it wrong.

I have been dealing with those 12v pumps in caravans for decades and never found one that would not pump through a hot water heater and into the shower 25 feet away.
