Marc,
Just curious, what clutching mechanics were you planning on using with the hybrid thoughts when using one or the other or both together... Dave K

Eric,
To take Myles off the hook, it is Mark Stafford who ripped out a 2500 pound GM271 diesel from a 1983 Herreshoff Marco Polo 55' sailboat named Constance in San Francisco Bay, and put in a 96volt DC GE 23hp motor and 1300 pounds of used and abused lead acid batteries.
Batteries were the hardest part for installation and maintenance.
I'm going hybrid: installing a 30hp ListerPetter diesel in parallel (either electric and/or diesel can drive the prop). I had planned to go serial hybrid (generator to batteries to e-motor), but my budget would not allow.
Mark Stafford
