Re: [Electric Boats] RE: catalina 27 conversion to inboard drive

 

Hi Mike,
I am trying to find free/paid technical advise/support from Torqeedo.
I have two cruise 4.0's.
I have disassembled / reassembled them for routine maintenance/inspection.
Since you sell this brand, can you suggest a resource for tech support?
Thank you,
Ray
