THE OLD SAYING A 1000 LAWYERS CHAINED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN IS A GOOD START.........is usually what most people believe is a good start once they feel an attorney gets in...somehow. What everyone should believe as true is that it is true!...but a nessesary truth. Civil trial attorneys would be out of business in a heartbeat if they had regulations restricting what a manufacturer may claim or state. Of course "they" would be them...who are they ...your government! So lawyers attack! Afterall, even if this particular manufacturer cannot correct the problem because of unknown variables (ie: charging, battery displacement, etc) they should extend every possible consideration regarding a customer who was just buying a boat. This electric engine 'conversation' posted on this forum, and many others, are for tinkerers and alternative thinkers. Not a main and commonly believed understanding..such as a car! We all know a car's gauge(s) will only let you drift to a halt or stall....a situation not dangerous and easily corrected. Notwithstanding a possibility of ...let's say running out of gas as a tractor trailer is dead on your bumper....NOT AT ALL. But a boat that stalls...lets say in a lane.....can be extremly dangerous! A boat who's power cuts out docking may create a dangerous situation....to themselves or other's. We have seatbelts, airbags, energency brakes....all adopted after trial attorney's did thier thing! Not the manufacturer, not the government....these were implemented not for your safety..really! If the price was high they never would have been implemented. IN BOATS....THERE ARE NO REGULATIONS REGARDING LOW POWER PROPULSION, thats why many people opt for a 48 volt system. Staying below a certain voltage requirement does not require coast guard approval. MANY 'SO-CALLED' MANUFACTURER'S are racing for market share and the simple truth is THERE IS NO BASE LINE. If they stressed this IMPORTANT INFORMATION regarding batteries, gauges, boat design, etc BEFORE SELLING IT......they probably would cut thier sales in half...if that As I stated a long time ago on this site, I designed my own system (48V) generator backup on an older 30 ft. Hunter. It works because I am a scientist who wanted the diesel mechanic to go away. I am a tinkerer in this field. I have loved it...BUT BE REAL....I know what will and can go wrong. Never should a company state anything it cannot prove or at least service and educate. My suggestion to you is to have the batteries and gauges verified by a service person who works in the golf cart or better forklift type industry.
