[Electric Boats] Portable Generator

 

Which generator? 2000i. Or the companion? I understand the companion has the same plug as the 30amp shore power plug? Or are you plugging your battery charger in with the standard plug?

Back to the WoW factor I was motor only yesterday steady speed 5kts with the tide and 3.5-4kts against the tide round trip of aproximately 8-10 miles,Wow factor silent running is almost eerie without the sails up and the list! We could hear what people were saying the whole time, the music was kept low cause you could hear it, wow the anchored fishing people's quizzical looks when we silently slid past. I increased my prop size Dia and pitch, the instant power docking is fantastic. She still cannot turn when going backwards. But she jumps forward and you can feel the responsive ness to the power, post/diesel the revving noise and smoke etc the indicators have all changed, for the better. Both being able to hear and be heard 50 ft from my crew with the rope when docking is brilliant.

There are gremlins in the system that may or may not be important? The amazing Scott at Electric Yacht has arranged a professional gremlin hunter to fly in and prove that it's all in my head and to make me happy!

There are no numbers to share cause there are readings that suggest %246 after a four hour run?
