James:
Nice video. What voltage and wattage are those panels on board your boat? Glad to hear that solar is AGM's best friend as that is how I pretty much have kept things topped up for the past year. Though one of my projects this summer is to put the new blades on the wind turbine. Though Solar has pretty much been doing the job since last year. Also glad to hear the AGM batteries are holding up after seven years too.

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