Hi everyone,  I am a newbie Rhodie and am loving sailing her on Lake Champlain. I have a problem with my batteries though. The solar panels seem to be working too well and toasting the batteries.  Is there a voltage regulator somewhere in the system? I am leaving the battery switch on ALL, is that correct?
Also has anyone had trouble with their sink water pump sticking on?
 Lastly, I am using the lower boom setting at anything approaching 15 knots, am I being chicken?
 It really heels a lot in higher gusts unless I reduce the 135% genoa. I do love being able to reef on the fly!
Any help much appreciated
Cheers
Graham Parker
