Re: [electricboats] Engine room tips?

I hope that your project is going well.

Take a lot of photos !

If your stainless fasteners are magnetic, don't use them in a boat meant for salt water.

Seaworthy 316 is practically non-magnetic, 304 a little magnetic.

If you weld or bend non-magnetic stainless steel, it will return its properties a bit to the steel side, and it can become magnetic (and corrode).

I suggest NOT to install any magnetic carpets.

When the diesel is out and the electric motor is installed, there will be no more oil and grease.

And a lot more space (unless you fill up the space with batteries), so it is easy and dirt free to pick up any lost screw or nut.

Furthermore, they do not help you, if you drop a stainless steel fastener anyway.

Some stainless is magnetic

Hopefully, you'll be using stainless fasteners - which are non-magnetic!
