Re: [Electric Boats] Electric Boat Video with Jean-Michell Cousteau

 

Fantastic.  Have you noticed any issues when sailing with that solar mount?  It seems like it would catch a lot of wind in heavier weather.  Sure looks like it would catch a lot of sunshine up there too!

Thanks for sharing.

Hi All,

I thought you might enjoy this new video that we took on Kapowai with Jean-Michell. Many of the benefits of electric propulsion are explained.

Kapowai has now been unplugged for 8 months!

Complete energy independence and she is always ready to go!

Solar Power is not only a very potent source of energy, it is an AGM's batteries best friend. The batteries are now going on 7 years old and are in great shape. The daily voltage bump without staying on float all day is the answer.

Cheers,

James
