There are three way MC4 connectors , Bruce has a pic or two he sent me ages ago when I connected mine .
I didn't buy them at the time as I had gone about it another way .

I'm on a run Bernie........ Probably 3AM next!
Ever tried sleeping next to an hysterical woman? lol
We've got trees down everywhere.
The road back to Murray Bridge was blocked until the boys arrived with chainsaws.
About 6 biminis totally destroyed...
Boats either side of me broke mooring ropes.
One big two story one ended up sitting on a bent over mooring pole.
I wonder how many trees ended up in the river?
Terry was lucky.........

My poor tree, at least there still some of it left..... and it looks like the grass doesn't need mowing yet either :lol: just wish it had blown that messed up tree next door out of the ground, then the postie would have an excuse for not delivering the mail :P
How did your boat fare Bruce? The solar panels still connected?

Margaret said she wants the wood when they cut it up..... that is not a good sign, means I'll have to build a fireplace to burn it in

My boat was OK. I spent a few hours double roping each corner before it got here.
I then spent several hours throwing extra ropes on half a doz other boats that had no one living on them.
One never had any spare ropes & it ended up wedged under it's neighbor after it flattened the mooring pole.
Took the crew half a day to get it back in place.
Natalie's is for sale Terry ............ with a couple of bollards ripped off..... (The Good Life)
A good chainsaw & a tandem trailer & you could have 50 tonne of green firewood Margaret!!!
25% of the trees in the Golf Course are flattened I reckon.
