I recently bought a seafarer 26 and love it. I'm getting back into sailing after 20 years with a third family - so I'm a bit rusty!
There are one or two things I can't work out/find on the boat and would appreciate any advice, please -
The fuse box - where is it?!
Is there an alternator on the 7HP Yanmar Engine - which I assume is the standard fitting - or any other form of battery charging? There is a red light on the key panel that says "charging" but the batteries run flat very quickly and I have to use a portable battery starter to get the engine going. This weekend we lost all intrumentation including depth and radio. Any ideas welcome!!

Sounds like you have a dead battery. -- Adam Plourde - Seafarer 24 "Godot" - Chesepeake Bay -- 9/30/07 5:29p.m.
