Looks like a good set up Tony.
FWIW, We started our trip with a 40w panel, and found that was lacking for our engle fridge. I added 2 25w Sunlinq flexible panels which fit perfectly on top of the dodger.
I was sadly disappointed by these Sunlinq brand panels. I see West Marine has now picked them up.... I can not say enough about how poor their output was. I tried several locations, and never got more then a couple hundred ma out of either of them (or both). Fortunately I was able to return them to the hippie alt-energy place I bought them from (~750 for the pair).
Next trip we plan to have a ~120w panel over the top of the pushpit. If not for the fridge, we would probably be happy with the 40w panel we started with.
As a matter of fact, I was at the boat a couple hours ago. I have a link 10 battery monitor that keeps track of all the amp-hours that go into and come out of the battery bank. It has not moved from %100 since we turned off the fridge.
