    Two minutes, lots of time.

    Sound the alarm, seal off the bulkheads, discharge the CO2, surface and have a coffee. Ventilate.

    Do you have a list of Battery Companies

    aand Electric Boat Builders or Hybrid builders?

    Don't know about Hybrids.

    Electric boat builders: only one I am familiar with is ELCO but there are others http://www.elcomotoryachts.com/

    Nigel Calder is a leading authority on this. You could probably get in touch with him through ABYC www.abycinc.org

    he is also a contributing editor for a variety of boating magazines, among them Professional Boat Builder www.proboat.com and Ocean Navigator http://www.oceannavigator.com/

    Here's a link by Nigel from another Forum http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/
    Sorry the link didn't copy, it's http://www.maloyachts.se/Blog/tabid/195/Default.aspx

    Strangely enough, before I answered this post I had received my copy of Professional Boatbuilder but had not yet read it. If I had I would have known it answers your questions about hybrids. You need to get a copy of the November 2010 issue of Professional Boatbuilder pbb#127. It has a lengthy article on hybrid systems. See http://www.proboat.com/ for digital issues.
