Great replies! Thanks. Now I'm starting a new thread for your suggestions on a new controller.

Is there a source for the Trojan batteries in Ensenada? T-105 or L-16.

I had 16 T105's they worked fine and lasted about 5 years before I had to start removing the sulfated ones. I hated the maintenance of all those
cells, they were always leaking, the cable terminals would start to corrode and need cleaning, pretty much a couple hours every month of work to
maintain them properly. This time I went with AGM's, I'll let everybody know how they do, but I am already enjoying not having to phutz around with
them getting battery acid on my clothes. Hopefully by the time they crater I'll be hooked up the good old CFE.

Went out of Los Arenas today, good day. 8 football tuna, 3 Dorado, peanut to medium, 1 trigger trying to get boiling Pargo Lisa to bite, and chased
the big tuna for a 43#. Will post a full report later. Commercials caught some real big ones.

Soon to be a moot point for me.
When our current 'off grid zone' gets hooked up the new powerline that is connecting Mulege and Loreto, I will say a fond farewell to the chore of
buying new solar batteries every 10 years or so.. |
2 questions for you, Pompano: (1) I don't know your age - how many 10-year replacement periods were you worried about  , and (2) isn't it much more economical to stick with solar? |
Hi MsTerieus,
I sure don't mind giving my age..I turned older than dirt last December 9th (hint-hint)..but I am younger than I look, honest.
Since 1971, I have replaced 1 7-year set and 3 10-year sets of solar batts ..working on the 4th 10-year set now. I'll let you know in 2019 on how
they worked out. Also upgraded solar panels three times so far. I am not what you would call a couch potato.
And yes, I would never give up my solar energy system..I love making free electricity and being self-sufficienct. Just love going into the solar room
and noting how power it takes to run a Mr. Coffee...or watch the power drain difference when the BIG hair dryer shifts from LOW to HIGH.
I even dug my own well...free water in the desert, now that's a plus! But...I still don't let the tap run and run...like ]some people.
But even with lots of solar electric, when that powerline comes down the road, I'll be looking forward to making that new meter SPIN!
Heck...I can then unpack all those gadgets with electric cords hanging off them that were 'appropriated' from my guests over the years. 
Things will sure get lively around here, then! Have to invite those Wild Childs from Asuncion over again!
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Hi Larry. In case you didn't recognize me, I'm the guy who runs with my wife (Teri) and dog on the beach in front of your house. We stopped and said
hi a couple times. Thanks for your responses.

Roger...
...sounds like coyote will be lit up like Vegas-south when the wires get 'strung' down your way!
Hell with the sparkly lights - just get one large refer to keep all the Pacifico's cold - well, maybe an icemaker for the G&T's in the evening -
oh, and maybe a blender for the rum punch - oh,forgot the ice crusher to lay all the fresh shrimp out after they're steamed - maybe a keg cooler over
in the corner would be nice, just for that quick 'cold one' with the foamy taste...
Maybe you'd better put in your request for a larger transformer to drop that high voltage right down on your pole!
Next thing you know, all you beach 'bums' will be gettin' indoor plumbing as well...

Bob...sorry, you're a fairly recent arrival to the Bay and don't get this old joke. All in fun.
About a week after the 1973 highway went in, the rumor started that Power was on it's way to connect Mulege and Loreto!
Ever year since, it's been the same old story. The Power is On It's Way! It 's become an urban legend.

Sorry, Wooosh, that actually meant XS CARGO (defective-from China)
The 2 year old Costco 6 volts I put on my trailer have turned out to be rather disappointing. Don't keep half the charge I want. Maybe time to go to
Trojans.
