Dock Talk with Jeff Cote Jeff Cote

Rick has a great question about running a generator or a solar panel to top up the batteries.  He asks, "Jeff, on minimal sunny days,  should I run the generator to maximize the full charge into the batteries and let solar maintain? Or let solar charge and run the generator to complete the charge to 100%?"

"Jeff, I have been watching all of your videos," writes Gerald.  "My question, how do I know if my boat has a bad ground?"

In part two of this three-part conversation, Jeff and Ron discuss choosing favourites, pushing the design envelope and the Prime Minister of England.  Ron's book, "All The Oceans", is the autobiographical story of his life, designs, adventures and fascinating clients.  He now lives in Vancouver, BC and Jeff had the honour of spending some time with him.   Visit his website, https://ronhollanddesign.com/
