      I replaced my cheap swing out davits with a more substantial custom made
      and welded unit which holds my
      10.5 ft rib with or without outboard. It has a welded crossbar frame
      which holds my 4 Kyocera 135 watt solar
      panels side by side. The mizzen boom is a non issue with these newer
      panels. I have the panel wired in series
      for a total 80 volts fed to a Morningstar 45 amp MPPT controller…The Max
      I have seen in summer condx is
      36 amps flowing into the battery bank (450 amp hour). Pics available at my
      facebook site under my name and the
      go back 6-12 months to see pics of boat and installation.
