Ned,
I would be interested in what you are using for electric propulsion and how much range the 2 group 31s give you. Also, what do you do for recharge?
I always liked the Typhoons, they are a good sailing boat.
Best

I did not use boxes because there was no room. I did put covers on the terminals. This is my third season and no problems so far. I would have used boxes had it been possible, just for the added safety.

Does anyone forgo them as a result of this characteristic or do people still use battery boxes just because or for other reasons (please note reason)?
