Having delivered a popular presentation on electrical to klick off our Winter series in January, Eric Fleury returns to present more on marine electrical systems and installation techniques.
Eric Fleury is an avid sailor and a licensed ABYC electrical technician.
He grew up sailing with his father and has owned a Tanzer 7.5 and now an Ontario 32 “Prince Igor”. Eric has been one of the SOLO300 sailors for several summers. Having studied electronics and computers, he eventually left the corporate world to dive full time into the boating world, both for work and leisure.
Having covered a number of the electrical basics in January, in this presentation Eric will present:
• Wiring
• Using a main battery switch
• Fuses
• Lithium conversion HOW TO
• Installation of a battery monitor
• Solar – in depth look
This presentation is part of the NSC Winter Speaker’s program, which promotes ongoing learning about all things nautical, as well as cruising and competitive sailing.
Our contributors and organizers are all volunteers, and they and our audience come from clubs and organizations bordering both sides of the Ottawa River.
The meeting is free to attend, but we ask that you consider making a small donation. All proceeds will go to the NSC Legacy Fund, which supports competitive sailing for youth and Able Sail members.
This is the link to register, and/or to donate: register here.
The presentation starts at 7.30 pm in the Harbourview Room. The Galley restaurant and bar opens at 4.30pm so that you can enjoy a meal and/or beverage before we start!
We will also be live streaming to our YouTube channel if you do not plan to attend in person. This is where you can also find recordings of previous Winter Speaker sessions. If you choose to attend by YouTube we recommend that you check in to the “waiting room” up to 15 minutes early to check your connection for good quality video and sound. We will be playing content that will both enable you to test, and provide useful information about upcoming events. During the live stream, you can use the chat function to ask questions at any time. The moderator will relay any questions to the presenter at the end of the presentation.
You can find the full Winter Speaker schedule here.
