R-21

Hello all, I just purchased a used 2008 R-21 for use in the Chesapeake Bay area. I'm in the process of doing some much needed cleaning and maintenance.

Justin, welcome to the "Tugnuts". You have joined a great family of boaters and I hope you enjoy many years with the "new" 21. I lived in Severna Park for quite a few years and the Severn river and the Chesapeake bay will afford you many days of enjoyable cruising. If you have any problems with the tug, hop back online and somebody will have an answer for you 🙂 Fran Uteg

Thanks. I've post some pictures of the enhancements in April. Just finished installing the frameless solar panels today...

I don't think I ended up posting the solar install from last year, so here it is a year late.

Great job on the solar panel installation. I am thinking about doing the same thing with my R-21. What can you tell me about the solar panels, make, etc.. do they work well ? Thank you.

HEllo Justin,

Yes, me too! MORE detail, that is. Do a proper write up and post it to the "Owner Customizations" Forum.

In particular,
-HOW did you run the wires?
-WHAT solar charge controller did you use? WHERE did you mount it?
-What is your battery set up?
-WHERE did you get all the panels and other pieces?
-Since you've used it for a while, how do you like it? Was it worthwhile?
-Few more pics would be great!

Thanks,

dave
