Apex brought up CPP: "install a CPP with a Diesel!" As for power, remember, boats use 120 volts, 220 Volts as well, on the AC side. So it's not...
Looks like another e-motion fan. Welcome to the club. (oh wait, you've been here a while). But, to admit ignorance: What is CPP ? Y
Heheheh, so we take some large copper plates and tape them to our sweaty bodies after we've been working in the bilge. Might as well add some...
This is an issue. Anything more than 40-50V is considered high voltage. Despite safety concerns,there's a perception that anytyhing more than...
I would say the least fuel use would be to power through non-fuel sources, like a dragging propeller, wind, and sun :) I was under the impression,...

On a slightly different tack, one of the things I haven't been able to figure out is two different ideologies in the power requirements. Sure,...
Good to hear you have a sailable boat while you're working on it. When I first started taking major things apart on Bahia, a wise soul (not to be...
Thanks, Masalai. That's one thing I still need to do: subscribe to all the linked threads. i've read through some of them, but certainly not all.
Perry, many thanks for summarizing the issues here. I have seen you and others post them earlier in the thread and have read what I can find....
Thanks, Robert . Sometimes I feel like either I'm not getting the whole world, or the whole world is not getting me. Had a chat with GB just a...
