    I like the mood lighting. It will look like The Hunt for Red October when you turn it all red.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts and execution of a very well designed DIY SV electrical system. 👍 👏
    LFP batteries are the only current battery chemistry I would consider because LFP’s (AKA LiFePO4) is not subject to thermal runaway and, as we know, fire is the major threat to boats when at sea (Fire, Flooding, Collision/Grounding). 😎

    Thank you for doing this video. I am about to do the same with a small motor sailor I own. If I get you right this system will only give you about 15 minutes of powering at hull speed or less? Of course with a generator running and/or solar pumping juice into the batteries you can go longer? Again Thank you

      Yeah, there was a lot here too. Much easier to just pull it all out and start over in my opinion but that’s just me.
